      You’re going to have such an amazing time. I’m so happy I was able to book you and save you so much money. :-) Enjoy your time and have fun with all that onboard credit. $2500 is nothing to sneeze at and I would use it all in the spa!

    Excellent and very comprehensive video Dr Gari.
    I have looked at the deck plans and note classic cabin 6088 seems a great choice.
    Did you look inside this cabin and as to why it seems excellent value for moneg being at the aft of the ship? Thanks. Chris

    • @DrGariS
      @DrGariS  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Glad it was helpful! I completely disagree about 6088. It has a connecting door and is almost fully obstructed. Not a good cabin BUT when you do book, email me and we can help pick a much better cabin. 6088 is usually the LAST to sell on the Nova sailings for these reasons.

      ​@@DrGariSthank you for your honesty but i have looked at many photos of the rear of the ship but i cannot see any obstructed view.
      Where is the obstruction please?

    GREAT VIDEO!!!! We are booked on the Nova in May to Alaska. We do have an aft-facing suite. You indicated some of them may have a somewhat obstructed view. Can you tell me which ones to avoid.

    • @DrGariS
      @DrGariS  Před 4 měsíci

      Have fun! - any of them as La Terrazza sticks out. If you’re on decks 8 or 9 it’s a lot let noticeable but as you can see, there’s no privacy as anyone on those lower deck can look up right to your balcony. If you’re in a PV you can easily move those to the ones that overlook the side. The larger suites are kind of stuck there but they are amazing rooms. You’re welcomed to email me next time as I do get lower than published rates on Silversea AND other ships. Hope this helps.

    • @DrGariS
      @DrGariS  Před 4 měsíci +1

      @@user-xo5ty4kr4c those are always available. One has a connecting door and the other one is quieter, but usually you can get out of them and go to the side. The aft PVs are always the last ones to sell but even if you stay back there at least you’re on deck 9. Above you from La Terrazza also has an aft platform where people can look right in to your balcony. It’s a terrible design but if you look at ANY sailing that has availability on a PV, you’ll see those are ALWAYS the last ones to sell because of this issue.

    Perhaps a silly question, but is the pool heated? For that matter, for the Alaska/colder climate cruises, are there heating elements in the seating areas?

      Hello. Not a silly question. You should email me when you want to book as I get private rates by the way - Gari.senderoff@cruiseplanners.com
      The pool IS heated on Nova. ;)

      Premium verandahs which should be a lower category since most are in terrible locations. I’m happy to help get a better location and for less on top of the extra savings and onboard credit we get as a top account

    I just hate the open Atrium theme. This central core becomes noise central. What about the chair hogs?

    Nice video. Ship is nice, my complaints are, the furniture is old 1960s they 1970s look meaning they look shabby and filthy so they really should update it. I dont like hearing sleazy lounge music in open areas, so I need to stay out of those, needs lounge areas with no music. Since I don't drink and hate food, the fancy small serving specialty restaurants are wasted on me, I like plain foods, give a burger or pizza, plain fruits. The pool is gorgeous, please no music outside or keep it very low so it doesnt empead on others enjoying the outside, I want to hear the ocean. Outside walk areas are great and thank you for deck 11 away from the noises and would make a great star gazing deck. Cigar lounge and gym is great. Perfer large balcony. Perfer showers over bathtubs and yes I know how to iron.

    • @DrGariS
      @DrGariS  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Thank you for that feedback. Hopefully SilverSea will see it and that makes some sense. You might want to upgrade your experience to something like Ponant or Scenic.

  • @pdeblois1880

    I hope they keep the glass clean in the infinity pool. We had a scum ring for 2 weeks on the Celebrity Ascent. Also don’t like the jogging/walking track. Why they didn’t consider people who just want to enjoy the deck without having joggers/walkers rushing by you all the time. It was like that on the Ascent and it’s very annoying

    • @DrGariS
      @DrGariS  Před 5 měsíci +2

      This is NOTHING like the Ascent. I love Celebrity but there’s a HUUUUUUUGE difference between a mass market ship (even in Retreat) and any of the Silversea ships. It doesn’t sound like you’ve been on Silversea. You can’t compare a huge mass market ship with Silversea - no way. Not crowded EVER and much cleaner in all aspects. It’s a completely different class (4 star vs 5 star).
