Incredible, imaginative and just what we have come to expect from the management of SS. It's a pity as they seemed to have broken out of their mediocre shackles and were showing some flair.

Not very creative or exciting, but I guess it could be worse.

Thanks for posting.

I wonder how long it took them to figure out that name.

No, not what I would call creative.

Although the name doesn't roll off the tongue, I'll be on board the Shadow in late November and will now looking forward to booking a cruise on the Silver G with my on-board discount.

Harrumph. I would have named it the Silver Adventurer, Silver Expedition, Silver Voyager.

Let's just hope that it doesn't become known more colloquially as the Silver Footed Boobie!
