I have noticed a reduction in the number of reduced single supplement voyages available. Currently there are 46 listed as available on the Silversea website (Australia), this is down from 58 last month. Generally the number available over the years has been over 100. I'm not sure what is going on, but I don't like the trend 😒

I have booked GTY twice, and both times received the category I booked for - no upgrades.

I'm really surprised that they have chosen this as the itinerary given the current political environment. Not for me.

Wonderful. Particularly the zodiac photo.

Thanks so much for explaining. Sorry to have hijacked your report.

Thanks - I feel like I must have been living under a rock to have not known about these cameras. Is the pole cumbersome to travel with? Or is it collapsing, similar to a selfie stick?

Really enjoying following your trip and the wonderful photos. I have done the cruise myself on Wind, but my photos are not a patch on yours. This question may be a bit off topic, but are you able to explain (for dummies) how the 360 camera works? It looks almost like drone photos.

I never heard back from Ponant about my request. I just gave up and didn’t bother pursuing it. Maybe they aren’t matching Australians, but it would be courteous to at least provide that information via a return email rather than just ignoring the request totally.

Keith, thank you for taking the time to reply. If they have a choice of pillows I'm sure there is something that will suit me.

I'm hoping someone can let me know if Crystal has a pillow menu? I like a therapeutic or memory foam pillow if possible.

I really enjoyed the Kimberley cruise thanks JP. The expedition activities were great and the scenery was spectacular. It's unfortunate that I didn't receive any response to my request for a status match - but ce la vie...

Just an update - the Premium Pass is now 25 euro per person per day.

I have not heard back from them about the SM despite sending the evidence twice. I contacted them prior to my first Ponant cruise, which I have now completed. It all sounds very disorganised and poorly managed. I hope others have more luck than I did.

Thanks for the follow up JP. I haven't heard anything further from Ponant since I sent the Venetian Society loyalty statement. Finger crossed 🤞

Thanks for the update - that is interesting. I guess no status match for us! Even though it was listed as an option on the website. A status match would have been nice, but I'm sure I will still enjoy the voyage 😀
