Yes! My mom and I will be doing a Panama Canal cruise on the Silver Moon next month (December 2021)! I"m really looking forward to it. I'm surprised about the smoking issue. My mom is a lot more sensitive to that than I am. Hopefully it will not be an issue for her. Its surely won't be for me, as I have a high tolerance for those that smoke.
I didn't notice it on Silver Spirit (last month) but thought it was just permitted in the smoking lounge. Has the policy changed in the last two years?
@@PopularCruising Sad that Silversea doesn't regard the health of the overwhelming majority of the cruisers as more important than the 14% with a very bad habit.
I am just curious what is the limit on 'all inclusive'. How premium are the bevarage offerings on board? Surely there must be an additional charge if you want to order champagne or a fine wine.
All the reviews for this ship was one sailing round the Greek islands. I am sure the reviewers were given a free cruise to promote Silversea. As it was one cruise I am sure Silversea made sure service levels were at there highest, but with no subsequent reviews it may be that this service level is difficult to maintain.
I have to disagree on the secondhand smoke issue. I was on the ship in December, and there was never any issue for my mother or myself with secondhand smoke. That being said, the ship was less than half full, so that may have been the reason that it was not ever a problem for us.
I'm glad it wasn't a problem for you. I believe the capacity was reduced on my Greek sailing too, but unfortunately, the smoking was very prevalent then.
I'd like to add that there weren't very many smoking areas, and most of them had enough separation from the non-smoking areas. It was not difficult at all for us to stay away from those that were smoking.
Shame about the smoking, so glad you mentioned this, I don't even like walking past outdoor smoking areas on other cruise ships. I was looking into booking because of the S.A.L.T experience but the smoking means it's a definite no. What is the point of a gastronomic 6* voyage if it's ruined by second had smoke.
Great video; I am newbie and I hate that smoking on cruising. Thank you for telling me,
Sure thing. Thanks so much!

I have been on Silversea before and will in the future. Smoking is not a problem unless you deliberately hunt for the fumes.

High end standards, specialty food and good smoking facilities are what attracts me to Silversea and in particular Silver Moon.
I'm interested in Silversea because of the elevated culinary experience. Any others you'd recommend for the same?
Silversea should definitely lead the list, but Seabourn, Oceania and Viking are other culinary faves.
Really appreciate the guidance re smoking; I was considering Silverseas but no longer!
Yeah, here’s hoping they eventually revise the smoking policy…
Did you approach Silversea with your concerns about the smoking? On that problem alone, I would not book a cruise on this ship.
I did actually and verified the line's policy does unfortunately permit it in many areas.
@@PopularCruising Sad that Silversea doesn't regard the health of the overwhelming majority of the cruisers as more important than the 14% with a very bad habit.
Did you happen to look into whether these other luxury lines I am considering have the same policy - Windstar, Viking and Seabourn?
@@LaurenSteiner I've had much better luck avoiding smoking on those lines.

Only the most top shelf drinks are extra. Fine wines and champagnes are included.

i hope in the future i can go on a cruise vacation
me 2 bro
Medium Silver Moon cruise plus very beautiful and luxurious.
How do you make your voice sound so GAY ???
the decor is dark and stuffy and can easily feel claustrophobic. I think for a luxury ship its a disappointment. Viking decor is so much more amazing
Way too much beige and dental office ambiance for my taste
Too much smoking, you sure made that obvious,let it go surely you got better things to comment on.
Cruise for people with deep pockets and big ego.
Laughably outdated
huh?
@@CapriciousCapricrn I think he was kidding.
Compressive video, but the annoying, self indulgent voice over is off-putting!
Music is too annoying. Switch off...
