It's a lot of fun, perfect for a family get away or birthday celebration

I wish they were paying me :) I am not sure Silversea even knows who I am. You're probably right about millennials not being the majority of cruisers yet, but I definitely see cruise lines trying to change that. There are some really cool options out there that would appeal to my generation, although there's always room for improvement.

Scott, glad you enjoyed it! Just let Alicia know when you are ready. It would be a great escape from all that snow!

I hope you enjoy your month on board! We lucked out getting a spot on this trip - no extra cost, just good timing. I actually went back on the same boat six months later, so I'll have lots to share comparing the two voyages!

So glad you liked the video! You can use the bones twice, but after that they get brittle and fall apart. I wouldn't call this a "mild" stock because I'm adding extra aromatics and then combining it with the first stock. Then I reduce and season the two together - it’s all about maximizing the flavor. If you want a clear, refined version-a broth, really-you'll want to use unroasted chicken, clean vegetables (like peeled carrots, and removing the skins from onions and garlic), and skim the broth to get rid of any scum and extra fat. That’ll give you a much more refined broth compared to this stock.

@@TheArtofTheCraft4K thanks bud. Love it and appreciate the engagement. Wish you all the best on this journey.

I am glad you liked it, make sure to let me know if you get a chance to sail!

It was a lovely ship for sure. The only smoking I noticed was in the cigar lounge but I am sure there are some limited outdoor places too. It never interfered with our cruise but can absolutely understand why this could be of concern if you've had a bad experience.

Great questions: I baked at 475f. The timing takes about 45min-1hr. I would also turn the chicken half way thru the process. I don't cover with foil as I don't want to trap moisture and leave the chicken skin/bread soggy.

Wow I can't believe I forgot this, I have updated the video. Thank you for the catch! Make sure to let my know how it turns out!

You are famous!

I suggest this for family holiday gathering!

At your service!

Great, glad you enjoyed. I'll be on over Xmas and am excited to do a follow up to see what has changed. Make sure to report back and let me know what you think!

I know some rooms can. You'll have to ask your travel agent to request that. Ours was a Queen so I think splitting it would be too small for a true twin.

It has to be a king for two Twins! 😊

Staff to guest is really great, almost 1:1. Seabourn is a close second, but I was on their Ovation ships so a generation different. Explora is supposed to be a great line too. I think their ship are a bit bigger and a bit more glitzy in a showy kind of way. That's just what I've garnered so please report back if you go!

Food isn't the most important; but it's up there with oxygen as far as I am concerned :)

Thank you, I try to learn one new thing for my videos each time.

Thanks so much! This was one of the first videos I recorded, it just took a long time to get uploaded. Should have more on the way!

We got these tickets using points. We got one way tickets for 80,000 American Airlines points and about $15.00!

Its simple, but people really enjoy it. I recommend finding whatever is fresh near you. Save the dressing (in our case, lemon, olive oil, and salt) until just before you serve it.

I am glad you had such a great experience. We will be on the Nova at the end of the year and are looking forward to sharing a 6mo follow up; be sure to check back!

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience! I don't have 17 years of experience with Silversea so I can't comment on their trends over time. Many luxury brands offer ambassador programs for frequent or loyal guests. Have you considered contacting them directly? In my past experience working for a luxury hospitality company, we took guest feedback very seriously. We believed in consistent excellence and strived to address any shortcomings. I'm confident Silversea would appreciate your input. On a brighter note, I'd love to hear about any future cruises you recommend!

@@TheArtofTheCraft4KNobody was more disappointed than me .Really surprised how it had deteriorated.A lot of obvious pretence and lacking in quality and taste of food .I can’t be bothered to complain unfortunately I had to do enough of that on the ship with little reaction,which is really unusual compared to some of our amazing experiences on previous cruises where nothing was too much trouble.The cigar lounge was the best part of the ship.Silver-note is a good idea but the food was more akin to canapés served with a drink at a function.A joke .Anyway you’ve made it sound like it should be but isn’t.

It was a real treat to be able to share this with the man who has given so much to me.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Drew, I worked really hard on it and am glad you enjoyed it! It was a great experience and I have plans to do a 6mo follow up!

I forgot to write back, how was the experience? I am working on the return flight as we speak - even better on the way back! I can't wait to share!

Thanks for the feedback! They really are such a easy meal to prepare I hope you give em a try and let me know how they turn out!

Quality control.

I've done it! ... but I still go to the store to get them most of the time TBH :)

What don't you have? Anchovies?

True true 🎉

So hard to find that shirt - had to show it off!

Your right! From top to bottom a great experience!

I am glad someone got it!

I hope you share you next trip!
