## Resource

Is Silversea still ultra-luxury? After reading shocking new reviews calling it "shabby" and "not worth the premium," I boarded Silver Nova to find out the truth. When I started reading recent reviews of Silversea Cruises, I was shocked. Loyal guests now call it "shabby," "cut back," "no longer luxury," and "not worth the premium." Having cruised six times with Silversea and always rated it highly, I had to see if things really had changed. So, I booked myself (and paid full fare) onto Silver Nova, their newest class of ship, to find out what's really happening onboard.
