Vip status?

[seaver]

Our TA got us VIP Status on our upcoming cruise. I know laundry is included, but what else?

Used to be swag like hats and backpack, tote. 

Complimentary canapés

So as I understand the “VIP status” thing is this is an arrangement between the cruise line and the TA where the TA pays for a client to be given “VIP status”.  Truth is in the Silversea realm this is nothing but a form of OBC.

I've always felt as a VIP on our Silversea cruises, but had never heard of this.

Only here.  Nothing I’ve read, experienced, or seen in 12 years of only Silversea cruises have we experienced anything but “VIP” treatment.

Don't disagree,but in my case 29 days of free laundry is a lot of OBC!

Years before Covid, when our TA arranged VIP status in conjunction with the then Managing Director of Silversea in the US, we also received early boarding (about 11am), along with the amenities that Neilio posted above.
