That is correct, you cannot stack them

And those emails are written by people who have never been actually on any of the ships so they don’t know that there’s a difference from one to another

I would avoid viking river cruise. On my one and only Viking cruise. I found the food to be inedible much of the time and service was often sub par. one and done. on the other hand, I have done eight AMAWATERWAYS river Cruises all have been outstanding

On my recent silhouette Cruises, the porch and lawn grill were not open for lunch every day—you had to look in the program to see whether they were offering lunch that day or not. I don’t eat sushi, but my impression was the same for that restaurant: lunch was not offered every day. tuscan offered lunch once or twice, with a smaller menu than dinner and a smaller price tag. Neither Murano nor petite chef ever offered lunch if you are interested in specialty dining, once or twice during the cruise, a special dinner was served at the sushi restaurant. It was called the Taj and it was a multicourse Indian feast.

I don’t know of any way that you can avoid large groups. On silhouette last week there were over 350 customers of one particular Belgian Travel agent. They had a couple of private parties in the Sky Lounge which meant that no one else could use the lounge at that time, but otherwise they were not a problem

The buffet is called Oceanview. It is open for breakfast lunch and dinner. The main dining room is open for breakfast and dinner every day and lunch on seadays. in the Aqua Spa there is the aqua spa Café, which is open for breakfast and lunch near the pool is the Mast bar which grills hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch. It closes at 6 PM and is not open for dinner. those are the no extra charge options then there are the specialty restaurants, sushi on five, Murano, the Porch, the Lawn Club Grill, Tuscan grill, and le petite chef at qsine. sometimes lunches are offered in one or more of the specialty restaurants for a fee.

Silhouette has overhead heaters now in both restaurants. I had dinner at them both in Norway. Lawn club Grill was comfortable, but the porch is open on one side, and it became quite chilly in there, even with the blankets that they provided would definitely suggest bringing a wrap, jacket, or something to keep you warm.

On silhouette, there is an espresso machine at the gelato stand and during the morning rush-hour, there is a big sign there telling people that they can get a “to go” coffee drink there

It is highly unlikely that any of the current personnel will still be there when you sail, JDPCRUISERS

Remove the app from your arsenal of resources….it is just too unreliable.

Probably 7 AM if you can self disembark and can move all your suitcases by yourself;, it will be later if you need to put your luggage out the night before

The app is often confusing, incomplete, incorrect, and misleading

Only if requested….they have a designated departure lounge but must request low numbered luggage tags.

Where would the non-window side be on the inside cabins?
