We had a wonderful Bridge tour onboard Silversea Silver Ray with the absolutely brilliant Captain Giovanni Schiaffino!

One thing that caught our eye was this colouring in by Hokulani Feeney on the wall in the crew area! We’re sure Hokulani and their parents will never know, but to think that this colouring in and the words on the sheet made such an impression that the Captain made sure to have it on the wall and to see it every day! It speaks volumes for the man himself! (Wouldn’t it be lovely for the Feeney family to know …?)

Captain Schiaffino was there himself to greet us, he was generous with his time, he was incredibly open with his answers to everyone’s questions as we talked about his time with Virgin Voyages, with Silversea, how they differ, his life at sea, his crew, his story, his family and cruising in general.

Of course we learned all about the Bridge, about captaining Silver Ray and more!

He is a joy and you could see the family that existed and everyone had created onboard Silver Ray … you would often see Captain Schiaffino in the Arts Cafe talking to guests or around the ship sitting and chatting with crew. You could see the relationships and genuine friendship on stage when all the crew were presented!

He certainly made a huge impression on us in just a few days and we’d love to cruise with him again! Thank you Captain!

Have you had a Captain that’s made an impression on you? Let us know in the comments…

Did you know that today is National Travel Agent Day? It is a day designed to celebrate travel agents up and down the country. It was an idea that came during the pandemic with the first Travel Agent Day in 2020, right at the heart of the pandemic with the aim of lifting morale amongst agents working around the clock to protect, rebook and refund bookings ...

For us? We don't need a day that tells us to appreciate or thank our crew, we know how lucky we are to have them at The Cruise Room both in our Wirral Store & our Belfast Office. In a world of AI and online booking warehouses, we are proud that we have a high street presence (or in Belfast we have an appointment service) where you can meet real people and real people take care of you. Even our social media posts are 100% original, always written by Robbie & The Crew... never AI, never copied and pasted.

AI can never care for you like we can. Online booking warehouses cannot offer the same hand holding support as we do. We're proud of these things and will only continue to grow and improve to support you.

It's always a good day to thank all our guests for trusting us to take care of you. If it wasn't for you then high street specialists and agents would not exist and we are incredibly grateful to you all; we know we speak on behalf of all high street agencies when we say THANK YOU!

Here's to the crew, here's to you and here's to an incredibly exciting 12 months ahead at The Cruise Room!

Ps, want to know more about our crew? You can meet them all on our website here: https://www.thecruiseroom.co.uk/meet-the-crew

The decision to name the next Chief Dog Officer was with the public and Dolly was the overwhelming choice with Dolly Parton a Hero to many....

Michael Bayley has confirmed the news in the last few mins! A good choice everyone, a good choice!

One of the things we talked about in our training onboard Silver Ray was the ease and benefits of Status Match!

Silversea, Celebrity Cruises and Royal Caribbean are all part of the wider Royal Caribbean Group, all part of the same family.

So it’s great to know you can now Status Match between the 3 brands which is fantastic and if you have the Royal or Celebrity apps on your phone you can status match to Silversea in about 60 seconds, instantly finding out what level you would match at!!

If you’re at the higher levels of Celebrity or Royal and want to try smaller ship ultra luxury cruising or maybe it’s just to do some of the more immersive itineraries Silversea offer then this is just brilliant!

Matching at the higher levels starts getting you onboard credit and large savings on your Silversea cruise or one of the best perks? Free laundry so that you go home with a suitcase full of clean clothes! πŸ˜ƒ

Head into your Royal & Celebrity app now (make sure to use the one you have the highest status for) and see what level you’d match at…

Then let us know if we can get you on your first Silversea Cruise!

Meet The Crew of Silversea Silver Ray…

We love the crew parade! Watch here how the Cruise Director knows all the crews names, the Captian has brought a little girl on stage to help, how butlers wave to their guests…

There were gifts to those finishing their contracts, guests were getting emotional! This is a family and it was a lovely sight & opportunity to say thank you to them all!

Do any of you recognise crew from your time onboard?

Imagine starting your day here with a light breakfast, or having lunch looking out to sea or enjoying the finest steak and lobster as the sun set or under the stars…

This is the stunning β€˜The Marquee’ on Silversea Silver Ray and was immediately one of our favourite restaurants at sea…

Welcome to the stunning β€˜The Marquee’ onboard Silversea Silver Ray!

This was possibly our favourite dining venue… and opens throughout the day from a sit down breakfast, Grill specialities for lunch, pizzas at almost any hour (including Gluten Free) and dinner underneath the stars … they even have hot rocks to cook your own steaks!

This space crosses the deck so you’re never far from a beautiful view … this is the perfect place to dine as the sun sets while you sail away from another day in port…

It is open to the elements but when you’re in the middle of the Mediterranean or floating around the Caribbean it’s just perfect!

However due to Charmione being onboard last week we were able to secure some more of these vouchers for our guests so it’s the same as before, once these are gone, these are gone!
