To my mind, this is wonderful news. More ships, more variety in itineraries, etc. Capacity -- and thus choice -- in the luxury market is really growing significantly. Despite the initial hiccups with dress code and dinner reservations with the launch of Muse, it appears that Silversea remains in top form during this expansion.

May I just say, I think the name Silver Moon is enchanting.

Appreciate this interesting article, the added details/background, etc. Agree much to what Observer posted as to this generally being good news with more variety, offerings, better itineraries, etc. On Kate's post, when I read her comment, I thought of "Silver Moon" being close to another well-known product here in the Americas. It's "Blue Moon", a popular, craft-style beer out of Colorado.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Being from Colorado and the home of Blue Moon, gotta say I'm a bit perplexed by the new ship name. Silver "Moon" is just plain odd to me. It doesn't seem to fit the imagination or subtlety of the other ships IMHO.

Well the Wind could blow the Cloud in and block the Moon!

 

Seriously, having only sailed the Wind/Cloud, do these newer vessels feel (dare I say)....large, or do they still have that intimate feeling?

One word

 

Yes. The Muse is a great ship but I'd much prefer to have heard they were building a replacement for the Cloud explorer.

Let's hope it's not just Moonshine.

 

This is the clear "WINNER" today for the most cute and creative comment on this thread. Hopefully, they will not be serving moonshine on this new ship.

That's a good question Mitz. From my perspective, the Spirit feels every bit as intimate as the Cloud (haven't sailed the Wind). One might say how? I think it's because there are a lot more places to spread folks around on the Spirit compared to the Cloud, so it's all relative.

I prefer blue moon. lol

 

Don't encourage him!

 

The whole idea of naming this new ship as "Silver Moon" seems too close to the established brand of "Blue Moon". Maybe they do not know that little "detail" in Monaco or for parts of Florida. See the visual below. Many in the U.S. are aware of this somewhat craft beer (produced by Coors in Colorado).

 

Yes, I am encouraging Tothesunset for posting more such funny items.

Enjoyed a 14-day, Jan. 20-Feb. 3, 2014, Sydney to Auckland adventure, getting a big sampling for the wonders of "down under” before and after this cruise. Go to:

This sort of beer only comes along once in a.....

 

Appreciate this CUTE above point. But, in a good bar, you could order several Blue Moon beers in an evening. BUT, here is a visual with two Blue Moons, thanks to the water reflection!! However, it could also be a Golden Moon as shown below from doing a search on Bing images. Have not found any images of a "Silver Moon". Not sure this new name is the most perfect selection. Will the "Silver Moon" be painted white or will they switch to a silver color?

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

 

Panama Canal? Completed Feb. 28-Mar. 15, 2017, Fort Lauderdale to San Francisco adventure through the Panama Canal with our first stops in Colombia, Central America and Mexico, plus added time in the great Golden Gate City. Lots of fun, interesting pictures!! Those visuals start on the second page, post #26. See more at:

Terry, you seem to spend a lot of time mooning around!

 

WOW!! Our UK friend is so smart and savvy. Plus, being very creative and quick!! Highly impressive. Yes, my "mooning device" is fairly large and you have discovered that secret.
