    I’ve seen so many RUclips videos on cruises to Alaska. I felt compelled to tell you that yours was the the best. You assembled everything that one would be thinking about in a such an appealing and efficient manner, and your presentation was so enthusiastic that we are dying to make the same trip. Well done.

    Larry you are an awesome commentator/narrator.

      @kimandlarrysluxuryadventures  Год назад

      Thank you Gigi! Yes… you get what you pay for! But what’s so interesting is that when you add it all up, you probably would have paid similar dollars had you bought everything ala carte on a non all-inclusive ie the flights, the drinks, the excursions, the transfers etc.
      What was your favorite Silversea cruise? Have you done a lot?

      @@kimandlarrysluxuryadventures My favorite cruise I’ve ever been on was with Silversea to the Galápagos Islands aboard their newly built ship, The Origin. It was built specifically for the Galapagos. Their staff was amazing..all scientists of some sort. The food and accommodations were spectacular. I highly recommend it. This December I’ll be on the Silversea Muse in New Zealand and Australia..needless to say I’m excited.

    We did the New Zealand - Australia Cruise with SS over the Christmas New Year period, and it was the most enjoyable experience I have had, we had guests from Canada and from New York who became friends and our New Years party in Melbourne was unbelievable - we are now in our twilight days but we danced and danced like the young - it was great - everything on the cruise was great and best of all it was inclusive. I am now looking at the Christmas/New Year cruise 2024/2025 on the Silver Nova which travels from Auckland to the Fiji islands before finishing in Sydney - what a cruise as I love the islands.

    Just had a look at the ship we will be on again in September to Japan from Vancouver.
    So glad to see your upload. Our last cruise was last year in the other direction and Japan didn’t open so they flew us from Australia to Anchorage. Guaranteeing to look after all Covid problems, that luckily didn’t occur.
    Your luggage and flight story is a great one and adds to our thoughts of choosing Silversea again.

    Larry, you did an amazing job in capturing the essence of Silversea "when perfection isn't enough". As a travel advisor for close to 10 years do we want the best of the best for our clients and Silversea is one of the partners we love as we can rest assured our clients are in sublime hands. If only all my clients would realize the return on the all-inclusive investment is so worth it as it leaves them with unique memories to last a lifetime. Perfection!

    Sad to post a different voice. We were Seabourn customers and decided to give Silversea a try watching your video. We were caught in the unfortunate flight cancellation and experienced completely different support from Silversea. After talking to people sailing with Regent, Viking who had exactly same issue but received a lot help when we were left completely ignored. Guess they do treat customers very differently!

    The restaurant where you enjoyed the oysters is called Deckhand Dave's. They get their oysters from The Salty Lady Seafood Co. which has an oyster farm in Juneau. I really enjoyed your video and now booked on Silver Muse, going to AK July 2024.

    What room were you in? Looks like one of the Veranda Suites, curious to know which one, getting ready to book.
    Also, sounds like you book through a travel agent. Any reason you didn't book direct with Seilversea?

    • @kimandlarrysluxuryadventures
      @kimandlarrysluxuryadventures  Год назад +1

      Hey, I apologize for not knowing what the name of our room was… But I would advise not to use a travel agent. Ours was atrocious! Which is why we have not mentioned her name. I do believe if you use one of the silver sea travel agents you will be happy. You can also ask them what the name of our suite was if you show them the video.

My question we’re looking to book the door to door option with Silversea did your trip include the train journey from Anchorage to Seaward or was that a separate charge?

    I’m headed on the Muse this January NZ to Sydney. Thanks for sharing your experience. I opted out of the door to door based on the outrageous mark up, I’m doing Port to Port. Flying business class from Baltimore, I was able to get multi segmented flight BWI to Auckland; Sydney to RSW (we winter in Ft Myers) for $9009 pp. It would’ve cost me $6,000 more with Silversea. I’m dealing directly with them on my booking. I have been watching videos. I’m not thrilled at the gastronomy it looks very unappealing. Too peculiar in taste. However, I’m excited about the small ship experience since I’m burned out on mainstream cruise line mega ships that nickel &
    Dime you. Having a butler will also be nice.
    If you think Alaska is great, you need to cruise 2 weeks up the coast of Norway……makes Alaska look like nothing. The Fjords, glaciers, & waterfalls are mouth dropping! The ports are wonderful culturally captivating. Cheers!

    Wonderful testimony to the Silversea Cruise Line, and I am looking forward to our Alaska cruise with them in May! We went on a cruise with Oceania in January, where Oceania misplaced our luggage after we checked it in at the cruise terminal. They offered us 50% off in their already overpriced boutique, and that was it! Luckily they found the luggage after a day, but we will not book with them again.

    • @kimandlarrysluxuryadventures
      @kimandlarrysluxuryadventures  Год назад

      Hi David. I liked the deck level. Lots going on right outside our door but also no noise in the room ever. We chose our level and room position because Kim gets motion sickness. Also talk to your travel agent about which side has the better views for length of your trip. Depending on which direction you’re heading you can have better views if you’re on the better side of the ship.
