The months before boarding....

This first post is a test to see if this site will work for us.  

We have not sailed on Silversea for 10 years but are drawn to one of their new ships.  The Silver Moon (launched close to the same time as Regent's Splendor).  

There is a Facebook page for Silversea that is not run but Silversea but is approved by Silversea.  It is a Facebook page that is run perfectly (if there is such a thing as "perfect").  There is the section that is similar to Regent's that does not go on and on with snarky comments.  Once a question has been satisfactorily answered, the Author of the post, the Administrator or Moderator of the site close it.  This seems to avoid a lot of repetitiveness.  When posts that tend to be argumentative are posted, if there is nothing new to add, the post is closed (thinking dress code posts).  Before closing the post, Administrator will link it to part two of their site.

Part 2 answers just about every question that you could possibly have about Silversea.  From dining sample menus, hours of operation, what to pack for different areas of the world, a roll call, travel advice, etc.  It has been extremely helpful to me since the Silversea that we sailed on previously was run by the now-owner of Crystal (another story) and Silversea is now owned by Royal Caribbean that have deep pockets (as does NCLH).  

Booking the cruise, air, etc. has been an interesting experience - one that I will share if this blog works.
