  1. It all comes down to the $$$$ they are prepared to pay for royalties. The movies you quoted would be very inexpensive options for Cunard.
  2. Agreed. The food and accommodations on land will be much, much better. This pricing will stick around only if they are loading up their ships. Up until a couple of months ago, SB was aggressively discounting, so this is very much a change. I doubt that suddenly we are back in economic boom times again...it certainly doesn't feel that way.
  3. The fine print mentions the refund being up to 90 days which is cut off from my screen shot.
  4. Yes, an email. I think they went out to agents first.
  5. Both cruises are now cancelled. Full refund (Takes up to 90 days to process???!!!🙄), 20% off the new increased prices and must book by May 31st. Up to $500 for non-refundable things with receipts.
  6. Totally outrageous and if onboard, I would have had a word with the HD. The whole point of these lines is their inclusiveness. This is simply a money grab...what's next???
  7. Hi Mark, Nice photos as usual. We will be joining the ship in Singapore for the voyage to Cape Town. Will you be continuing?
  8. Did she or her office reach out to you by chance?
  9. Still nothing from SS...maybe they are waiting till the 30 day mark just to make sure all of their 'Esteemed Guests' cannot possibly make alternative arrangements.
  10. It is disgraceful. All the other cruise lines have notified including Azamara and still nothing from Silversea. And when they do notify, it will be a delayed refund or 20% off a cruise this year that has probably doubled in price since it was released.
  11. I forgot to mention that the tableside steak diane is to die for...melt in your mouth deliciousness!
  12. It would be nice to think that Silversea (like Cunard's QM2) is capable of adjusting their itinerary to go around Africa. However I think this proposition is just a bridge too far for their logistics team. It is much simpler to just cancel and sail empty which is what I expect them to do.
  13. I'm curious...what is happening to all the passengers on Icon of the Seas and the Ascent? Are they all being inconvenienced too?
  14. We special ordered shirred eggs on QE recently and they were amazing. The dish was served with caviar as standard so not a light breakfast by any means! I know this thread is somewhat dated, but what other special orders have people made in QG lately?
  15. This doesn't make any sense at all. Maybe they are still deciding on ports, etc before releasing these itineraries? No cruise ship sails empty for any length of time-it is not profitable!!! Silversea is not completely stupid and they will not reposition empty unless they absolutely have to last minute. This thread is about two sailings where Silversea's management team has made some poor choices in not notifying its guests about cancellations in a timely manner. As for all future repositionings being cancelled-well that is a very broad extrapolation of what is currently taking place.
