Les, We need updates!

Les, Thanks for all the info! Are you changing rooms?

Les, So do you think people are just staying in there cabins or is it because the ship is only 1/3 full?

Any more cases of Covid?

I was on for the 3rd and 4th leg but canceled the 3rd.

Very nice, now I'm hungry!

I may have missed it ,how many on this sailing?

In the UK I used an FCC from one agent and rebooked with another. Would assume USA would be the same.

So for a lack of a better term,it's like a gift card you use to redeem?

About to cancel my February 9th

Cruise aboard Silver Moon and receive 110% fcc pretty straight forward, but to redeem my fcc do I have to go with my original independent travel agent or can I book with any agent?

Does anyone have the last leg schedule ?

I am on the the 3rd and 4th leg on this grand voyage,and only doing because of Brazil and the Amazon and now gone! I hope Silversea will let me cancel without penalty.

Anyone know of a website where you can see how many cabins available ?

Well I'm confused.   If you have sailed Silversea I'm sure you are conversant with the Venetian Society benefits.   Why do you think that your past loyalty to Celebrity should earn you more perks with Silversea.   The two don't really equate.  

It's the same company!

Have you sailed with Silversea?  Don't you think you should at least sail with them before they give you perks?  You have demonstrated loyalty to Celebrity and have been rewarded.  What loyalty have you shown to Silversea?

I have sailed with Silversea 2 times and have a 37 day booked on Silver Moon.

I sure you realize it's the same company ,I already have shown loyalty.

Don't they recognize you in some way on Celebrity?

Yes Celebrity does!

I want Silversea to follow suit.

Not sure,maybe free laundry, at least a reduced rate or perhaps a 5% additional savings on any future voyage. Something.

I have over 35 sailings with RCCL and Celebrity.

I just think that since I am true to the brand they should recognized me for it.

Being a Diamond plus member on RCCL and now a Silversea only cruiser it would be nice

to get a little benefit for all my loyalty to RCCL.

I checked Costa and MSC website and indeed there are only cruises in Brazilian waters or departuring from Brazil to Europe in the end of the season.

So how is the Moon going to sail from Argentina Feb 9?

Brazil has 75% with at least one dose of the vaccine and US has 67%.

The difference is that the people of Brazil want the vaccine.

May be more risk staying home LOL.

Not so fast unfortunately,seems like Brazil are restricted exclusively to its waters, banning trips to and from Uruguay and Argentina.

Costa Cruises cancels its 2021/22 season in Uruguay and Argentina

Brazilian regulations only allow international cruise vessels to operate in their waters, thus impeding extended trips to Uruguay and Argentina.

As happened with MSC Cruises, Costa Cruises announced on Friday the cancellation of its 2021/2022 cruise season in Uruguay and Argentina. Last-minute differences with Brazilian officials forced the Italian cruise company which belongs to the Carnival Group, to redraft the itinerary of Costa Fascinosa that was expected in Uruguay and Argentina.

In the release Costa Cruises indicates it worked with Brazilian officials to concrete the cruise season, but last minute delays in the approval for the arrival of international cruises to Brazil, “have forced Costa Cruises to review the itinerary of Costa Fascinosa”

The inconvenient for the coming cruise season is that Brazil only authorizes the operation of cruise vessels in Brazilian jurisdictional waters. Brazilian authorities have insisted that cruise operations in Brazil are restricted exclusively to its waters, banning trips to and from Uruguay and Argentina.

Costa Cruises thus joins other companies that have suspended their summer operations. In early October MSC informed the cancellation of itineraries for MSC Sinfonia, MSC Orchestra, MSC Preziosa and MSC Splendida, which were scheduled to call at Montevideo and Buenos Aires.

Fernando Joselevich, Costa Cruises country manager for Argentina and Latin America pointed out that “Argentine officials from the ministries of Transport, Tourism, migration, the Health ministry and frontier Sanitary staff, have all been most helpful and ready to deliver all our requests”.

“Our objective has always been to ensure the start of the cruise season, guaranteed through our integral safety and sanitary protocols, the ideal conditions for our operations in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. But reasons, as displayed above, are forcing us to a domestic cruise season in Brazil”, added Joselevich.

Costa Cruises indicated that travel agencies have already been informed and the passengers affected by this decision have been given details for reprogramming future trips according to the terms and conditions of the packages.

Given this complex scenario, the company also informed that it will begin sales for the 2022/23 cruise season, “reinforcing its total commitment with Argentina, Uruguay and South America”

Have 2 cruises booked on Silver Moon for Feb.9 from Buenos Aires to Manaus and then Manaus to Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Think they will go? Opinions welcomed.

I assume it is covid related.  Transversing from Brazil to Argentina and back may be troublesome.  My travel agent is out of the office this week, so I will hear more next week.

Did you get any more info? We are supposed to do the falls in Feb. with Silversea and have not heard anything.

Trying not to get too excited;  but on My SIlversea account it shows for the first time that our ship was changed to the Moon.  This is for a Jan 3 FLL to Lima cruise. Hopefully this is a go!

Mine is listed also! Feb 9 Buenos Aires to Manaus.

Now let's hope Silversea puts the Moon cruises on the website.

Would the Moon take over the cruises?

Any passenger booked on the Dawn between November 2021 and March 2022 received specific information other than the general letter by Barbara M. informing of the switch between Dawn and Moon? After asking further information regarding my December cruise from FLL to LIM, a consumer sales manager in London replied that at this stage there is no plan to cancel or even amend itineraries. But I find it strange that the Moon cruises are still not appearing on SS website. Any information would be greatly appreciated. 

It's very strange nothing on the SS website,It's been about 2 weeks.

Just think about how many potential bookings they have lost with 5

months ( Nov. to March) of Silver Moon not showing a single cruise.

I know you can switch from a Silversea agent to your own agent. But can you switch from your agent to a Silversea agent with a current booking?

Very frustrated with my agent with return calls and emails.

Who knows? We shall see. I do not blame SS. The situation is so complicated. Must be a nightmare for any cruise line. 

I agree the situation is terrible, but how hard is it to at least put the Moon's new South America cruises on the website? That's the reason for my bad job comment.
