Splendor is the better of the two. We did a 7 night soon after it first sailed. They had a few kinks, but the food was better that Ray

Yes, Chartreuse is better in our opinion. Just avoid the escargot preparation. J has to send that back!

No lunch in Atlantide, but 2 or 3 dinners upcoming. I think cruises are overdoing the upcharges. Seriously, the cheapest cabin was about $7k pp, so these upcharges were not worth it!

@@DJTravels We have watched all of your cruse videos. We were excited to see you on the Ray and have been anxiously waiting your review....and comparison between Regent & Silversea. We were on the Silversea Nova in October/November of 2023. But, we have heard about many cutbacks since then. Thank you for all your information!

3 nights.

Yes, it was. We have decided to do it again next year, but on a different cruise line.

I wonder why they would have a different price between ships??? And you are right, it was very noisy!

You’re right, Compass Rose is always a good! We have booked a round trip from Ft Lauderdale for the holidays next year on Regent Mariner. It is actually the first regent ship we cruised on in 2008!

Thank you!

Yeah, we didn’t have much lunch either the upcharge venues! The only one we liked was the SALT Kitchen Chefs Table. We have been traveling a lot, so the HCP has gone up 2 points. Hope to get it down to single digits before we leave again though in May!

Good Morning! Glad you came by!!

@@DJTravelsthank you ❤

The total cost for 2 people was about $10k for 3 nights. Compared to $8k for 2 on the Orient Express (th-cam.com/video/nqbznPqxFS8/w-d-xo.html) for only one night, that was a bargain!

Sent them an email complaining about the switch and never heard back. Would never book with them again!!

Thanks I will take them off my list. Your videos are very informative keep up the great work.

Thanks, this series did not get the same viewership as my cruise videos. So I am glad someone found them useful!

Thank you! Will do!

We did skip Mackinaw Island as we had been there years ago. Beautiful place, but we just didn’t fit it in this time. We will be sure to look you up the next time we visit!

@@DJTravelsit has changed quite a bit in the last few years. We actually live in Illinois, but northern Michigan is where I’d like to retire!

Awesome! Thank you! I will check with her and get back to you later! We are working on a fitted plate and bowl rack for the kitchen, and will feature that build and a few other things before we hit the road to Alaska this May. So stay tuned!! One thing to be aware of…..at one campground, ants used the Starlink cord as a conduit into our rig!

Thanks for watching, we are glad you enjoyed it!

They were ok. At some point, each one routed you through a factory tour/gift shop. Not my favorite thing, but I guess people have to make money. I would go either way viator to get more flexibility.

We’re glad you’re enjoying the videos!

We are making some small comparisons as we go along in this series, but in a nutshell, Regent is a step above Silverseas in food, included excursions and overall value. While the service on Silversea was top notch, especially our butler, their food was very hit or total miss. But the final verdict is that we will not be repeat cruisers on Silverseas!!

@@DJTravels Looking forward to watching more in-depth of your Silversea’s videos. videos. I have enjoyed your Regent videos. I recently cruised on the Regent Grandeur (8th Regent cruise, 4 different ship). It was terrific! Had a named suite with a terrific butler. It would be great to run into you on a cruise!

Thanks for watching! We are booked on Regent Mariner over the holidays this coming year.

@@DJTravels My first cruise was on the Mariner in Alaska. It sold me on Regent. Have you been on the Mariner yet? I’m doing the Grandeur again this December in the Caribbean.

We didn’t pick up any Aruba Aloe products, but maybe we will try some online!

It was fun, and easy!!

Thanks for watching!

It was fairly full. Maybe 90% or so. On sea days, the pool area was very crowded. But one thing great about the ship is that there is a lot of seating on decks 10 and 11!

Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoyed it! Most viewers only watch the cruise videos, so I really appreciate the views!!

We went to one about the building of canals around the world. It was very good!

Thanks, sea days can be a little challenging for crafting into a video!!

I didn’t try too many different types of alcohol, just too many Manhattans!! You can tell from my voice in the opening that I was feeling the effects!

We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and welcome to the channel!

Thanks for watching! We’re doing what we love, and we hope our passion comes through!

Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoy our future videos.

Yes, we found that surprising as well, especially after we ate!! You will see, but the only upcharge venue we liked was SALT Lab Chefs Table.

We have not been on either of those lines, but we might try a Viking River Cruise in the future!

@@DJTravels Same here, about all I can afford on Viking Ocean is a transatlantic. We like Holland America the best, where Viking River and Windstar clearly go to places that they can't. We tried to give Azamara our business this year, but I learned the hard way that they've got a bad reputation with money for a reason.

Thanks for watching!!

I am not sure it is a full king, but it compares favorably to our king at home. Not sure about other cabins. Thanks for watching!!

We are glad you enjoyed it!

We're glad you enjoyed the video, and we'll be making comparisons soon!

Glad you liked the tour of our cabin! I let J do the cabin tours because she is much more detail oriented!!

Thanks for watching! I guess that’s a perk of being a small channel with no delusions about making money. No sponsorships, so we can say what we think.

@ That’s why you two are the BEST! Thank you again.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you liked the tour! Thanks for watching’

It’s one of the best cabins we have had!

We will try our best to keep it that way, thanks for watching!

@@DJTravels Yw ❤

Thanks! We will be releasing more videos soon.

We’re very excited to have it, thanks!

@@DJTravels Where are going to going to travel first outside of Florida? I would recommend Charleston SC. Great food and its a beautiful city.

Yes, we have been there several times over the years. We did take our first trip in the unit in the summer. We went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for about three weeks. It was great scenery and food, and we escaped the summer heat in Florida!! This summer (starting mid-May) we will be doing a three month round trip trek to Alaska.

@DJTravels I would love to go to Michigan to play golf. You should throw your clubs in that RV also. Get a couple rounds in. I'm happy for you guys. You are definitely an inspiration. Alaska will be epic!

We havent been on Royal Carribean since 2010, so I don't remember much. The only comparison I can make is that the variety on RC would be much higher. The food on Silverseas is decent, but none of the upcharge restaurants are worth the extra money. Very good pizza and sushi onboard at no extra cost, but everything else is hit or miss. Come back later and we will review each dining venue during our cruise!

@@DJTravels Oh I see. We been on 3 royal carribean ships and my wife wants to check out the new Disney Treasure ship so I'm looking at booking in 2026. Royals food was good but it got redundant. I wonder if celebrity's food is any better. That sucks that Silverseas food wasn't amazing. They are suppose to be a upper tiered experience.

Thanks for the feedback, the ship is very luxurious!

We hope you enjoyed the tour of the ship. We will be releasing more videos from this cruise soon.

Really enjoyed the tour! Thank you

You’re welcome, and be sure to check out the rest of our videos from Silver Ray for our thoughts on the other restaurants!

We’re glad to have you on board! That ship, Evrima so far wins our top spot for cruise food. Truly restaurant quality!
