“This ship epitomizes everything for the younger generation” Rewatched the video, so I saw it twice. You have to be getting paid, because no, a jazz focused cruise is definitely not the millennial vibe. The millennial vibe is party, light competition, and technology. Silversea is still amazing, but millennials are NOT the target audience for this line, or this ship. Give it another decade
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.
Splendid video Max loved every minute of it. Made my mouth water and eager to sign up and take off tomorrow. Thanks for the very professional review.😊
Scott, glad you enjoyed it! Just let Alicia know when you are ready. It would be a great escape from all that snow!
Cabin 9077 was assigned for me all next month. Maiden, Founders, Inaugural voyages are way overrated and often disappointing.
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!
Nice work bud. Made a lot of broth but never thought to use the bones for a second batch. I bet it would yield a cleaner milder flavor.
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.

Your channel offers excellent videos, but it seems they’re not receiving as many views as they could. Optimizing them for search engines can significantly improve their visibility and help attract a larger audience. This includes fine-tuning channel tags, volume, keywords, title descriptions, and more. If you're interested, I can take care of the optimization for you. I’ll prepare everything, so all you need to do is copy and paste it. Let me know if you’d like to proceed or make any adjustments. I can complete it in a day.
I'm never taking an inaugural voyage again since surviving Oceania. I taking the Ray through the Panama Canal on Deck 9. Be envious! Im better than Dr Odyssey! X-ennial.
Fantastic job!! Thank you❤
I am glad you liked it, make sure to let me know if you get a chance to sail!
Breathtakingly beautiful and modern ship but I hear there are 3 places people smoke on bord and the smoke leaks out. I would never set foot on the ass end of the ship- if it stinks! That's one nauseating way to kill luxury! There should be a Tropic of Cancer line that's exclusively smoking taking passengers on a tour of every pot and tobacco plantation to get them off of lines I want to take.
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.
Can't wait to try this. 3 questions: At what temperature do you bake the chicken/bread crumbs and for how long? Do you cover it with foil for all or part of the cooking time? Thanks!
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.
Nice presentation! Is your recipe included?
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!
Love the shout out and the save-the-date on the fridge!!!! Best chicken ever!
You are famous!
Would love some a’ras!
I suggest this for family holiday gathering!

Wounderful ship sailed on her in June Rome to Venice . And book on her for next June Barcelona to Lisbon😃❤️
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!
Do you know if the bed can be converted into 2 twins??
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! 😊
Great video of one of the most beautiful ships I've seen. It is so well done. I have a few private questions for you, but I can't find any way to DM you. How can I contact you? Or I can give you my email if that is better
Feel free to reach out at max.m.joseph@gmail.com
This is a really good rundown thanks. Staff to guest ratio here seems amazing. Been really curious about Explora Journeys as well it seems like a similar level of experience to this.
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!
Excellent!! I loved how you focused on the Restaurants first!
Food isn't the most important; but it's up there with oxygen as far as I am concerned :)
Amazing. Who wants to land. 😂
Sick! Very high quality video. You deserve more views
Thank you, I try to learn one new thing for my videos each time.
This is super underrated. I can't believe you only got 300 views for this killer review. Keep doing what you do!
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!
Class video!
Nauseating gushing commentary aimed at idiots. Why use one adjective when you can cobble together five🥱

I can only dream :-( but this was lovely to see, thank you
We got these tickets using points. We got one way tickets for 80,000 American Airlines points and about $15.00!
I’ve been waiting for this video! Terrific recipe!
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 travel on Silver sea for one month in 2018, We have wonderful experience and the food are very delicious from breakfast to dinner oooh. LOVE it especially dinner with Captain. ❤
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 traveled on the Silver Nova for 17 day’s last September 2023 as a fare paying passenger and two things I noticed the most , the ship was two big for what’s inside her , lacking in that personal club private yacht atmosphere. It’s monotonous decor which lacked in originality and far worse is how the food quality and menu choice has deteriorated as the selection and service which has become far worse than our previous trips on Silversea over the last 17 years . Royal Caribbean in its early days with few ships was a extremely good cruise line with good food and excellent entertainment .I haven’t traveled on RCCL for many years but from what I gather the influence of this now massive cruise company has creeped into Silversea which I expected. Disappointing.We have done over ninety cruise and traveled on all the luxury lines.We like modern clothes and decor so we are not old mentality fuddy duddies.
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.
So great to see Mr. Michael and you on this series together. ❤️
It was a real treat to be able to share this with the man who has given so much to me.
Wonderful video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic video of the Silver Ray. Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏
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!
