  1. Not sure about tiki. 13 degrees available. Probably not for long.
  2. Thanks so much. I will pass along your regards. The letter on our bed tonight was to cancel Funchal due to weather. I will let you know if the controversial letter arrives. We are disappointed in the loss of the Silversea lustre.
  3. Earl: The gentleman who is our butler has never been aboard Celebrity. Not the same Anu, sorry. Another sea day today. A bit chilly, but not enough to deter the sun worshippers. Turns out the sun worshippers also revere Bacchus, as the “all-inclusive” ship has run out of many wine offerings. No rose, no Macon, no Italian white, no french white, no Cab, no California chard except Neilson, or Chilean Morande, no Pouilly Fume. And no restock until LIsbon, when we get off. Apparently the wine drinkers were also dipping strawberries in their wine, as those too are all gone. The sommelier we spoke with said this is a challenge. Of the pax aboard, only 100 plus are first timers with Silversea.
  4. The pool deck is empty. All must be polishing up and primping for formal night.
  5. I will ask however I do not think your Anu is the same person.
  6. Sea Day en route to Puerto Rosario, Spain. Sparkling seas and bright sun. The pool is crowded. Formal night tonight. Another hour will evaporate into the ether. I must mention our butler and suite attendant, who are splendid and caring. Anu and Mark are special. Kudos. We have noticed many changes in the Silversea product. But the crew, many of whom are new to the line, are efficient and attentive.
  7. Sea day 4 and 5. While the sun is out and pax go about their vacation activities, the Captain is rushing to get to Mindelo early, by tonight. We were due to arrive the following day. There is a medical emergency onboard which requires utmost speed to the nearest hospital.
  8. Sea day 3, en route to Mindelo, Sao Vicente Island, Cape Verde Another gorgeous day aboard the Dawn. The rhythm and sound of the sea as it hits the hull is intoxicating and hypnotic. We are relaxing. The pool area is again packed, nary a sun bed to be had. Lunch at the pool today consisted of 4 different buffet stations located around the perimeter of the pool deck, with choices of the cuisines of Asia, the Mediterranean, America and India. The regular menu was also available. Live music from the combo added to the ambiance. It was nicely done and the crew team were incredible at keeping pace with the crowd, many of whom are very, very demanding. Kudos to the crew! Last evening was formal night. We dined at SALT. What a terrific meal! I chose the flavors of Cuba side of the menu and enjoyed the garlicky pork which was tender and unctuous. Dr. Spins had black cod. For dessert, dulce de leche cake and churros with rich chocolate sauce. Yum. SALT is worthy of repeat visits!!! Most of the pax we saw were dressed according to the dress code.
  9. From the room cam, pool emptied as rain came. And now the sun is out and the squall gone.
  10. Table settings in Atlantide. No flowers.
