  1. Please keep posting Davey (hope you don’t mind me calling you that, feel I know you 😜), really enjoying your updates and appreciate you taking the time. Karin
  2. May I also add my best wishes to the Mystys! Have an amazing journey. Be safe, take care, Karin
  3. Lola - Wow, I could have written your words too, thanks for the encouragement. I leave the corked bottles for when I know someone is visiting too. Also understand what you’re saying about waking. Thanks again. Daveywavey - my husband loved T M Lewin and Harvie and Hudson. Hope you find what you want. Is there a special occasion coming up? Best wishes, Karin
  4. Thanks JP - I do visit daily and enjoy all the Cooler musings (and the amazing food pictures). Stumblefoot - interesting device, thanks. Karin
  5. Hi zqtchas Thanks, yes, that’s my beautiful V8 convertible. Karin
  6. Hi all My turn to twitter on now, hope you don’t mind Lola 😀 I lost my husband in April this year and he did ALL the cooking, so I too am having to learn a few things: 1. How to cook. 2. How much (or little) food you need for one - not the whole pack of pasta or meat. 3. How to use our fancy steam oven. 4. How to put the lid on the bottle of wine so I don’t drink the lot in one night. I don’t post often but drop by everyday to catch up on the gossip. Thanks everyone for providing a great place to visit. I have booked a cruise next May, so very excited about that. Taking my daughter on her first SS cruise for her 30th. Take care, Karin
  7. Thanks to everyone who's replied - I do keep checking back to read your messages. Best wishes, Karin
  8. Have used a TA in America before (when the exchange rate was good) and they were cheaper, offered OBC and sent us a cheque when we returned home. Was very good service but with the economy as it is at the moment, it’s no longer an option.
  9. Thanks for the advice Les. I called Silversea Sydney today (waiting for a call back), hoping that actually talking to someone rather than an online quote, might be a bit better.
  10. Hi Stickman, I was referring my daughter - I’ve sailed with Silversea many times but she hasn’t. Makes sense that we share a twin room but unless she has her own room we don’t get the ‘referral’. So annoying. Jennifer, nice to hear from you, been a long time. Hoping we Aussies might get a bit of advice.
  11. Hope someone can assist (I realise we’re not allowed to mention names but any assistance would be appreciated). Would like to book a cruise but when I request a ‘quote’ online, from Silversea, I get the price that is advertised - no incentive, OBC, nothing, just the price online. I’ve had a quote from a company in the US, good cash back after travel but with the exchange rate (no-one’s fault), not worth doing. I’ve read so many people say their TA gives all kinds of OBC and perks. Any ideas how we can get a better deal. Travelling with my daughter who hasn’t sailed before but told because she is in my room the ‘referral’ bonus doesn’t apply. Hope all this makes sense, thanks, Karin
