I prefer Hawaiian over any other American flagged carrier. I think the 737 was a good choice for interisland trips when Aloha Airlines used them 25 years ago. I dont believe it is customer friendly on 6 hour flights, By the 4th hour the restrooms are to be avoided. . i try to avoid all flights using 737s and believe Hawaiian Airbus planes are more comfortable then the competition Boeings. Alaska air has no choice but 737. I am disappointed that Hawaiian ordered a bunch of 787s but they will probably be delivered late . I have flown Alaska a couple times and on our last Alaska cruise we were booked on them but they dropped the service and we ended up on United. This merger is sad news for me but it did double by hawaiian stock investment.

La Dame $60 pp 2 weeks ago on Muse.

i agree great service only ok food.

Just off Muse last week. A pork chop and a veal scallopini were uneatable. i think the menu said pork was from U K and the veal was Denmark. Both were junk but I think they already know that.

Our only Silversea cruise started and ended in Laem Chabang. Silversea Spirit was cut in half and made longer. We were starting in Laem Chabang and supposed to end up in Hong Kong but covid hit during the cruise. We made it to Saigon but on our way to Manilla they closed the Philippines and Taiwan. so the cruise ended early and we were going to disembark in Viet Nam then Saigon decided no cruise ships. We sailed in circles for a couple days till the captain could find us a port. It was back to Laem Chabang but we were happy to go anywhere. The bus ride from the port to the Bangkok airport at 4am was very long but not much traffic. Silversea did a great job in a really lousy situation, and we are now on Muse out of Yokohama in October also going to Taiwan and Hong Kong with luck. We did make it up the river on a prior cruise to dock in Bangkok on Azamara and it was better than Laem Chabang. We did like the old Crystal but not been on the new Crystal but everyone agreed the rooms were small but the food and service were very good.

Yes my email to Silversea got answered by a scammer. when i went back to look at the emails there is a message at the very top of the response that says "RE: [EXTERNAL] arrival" . I had never seen that before and i just ignored it. Also near the bottom there is a colored message i also ignored. EXTERNAL EMAIL CAUTION: Use caution opening attachments or clicking links. My original email to Silversea triggered an automatic response that they would get back to me within 2 weeks. A half hour later I get the scammer response and I am happy for such a quick answer.

Got response from email I sent to Silversea. It looked legit so i called the phone number. i had embarkation question and the Indian voice requested my information. When he requested credit card information i said no and he said we cannot go farther without info. He hung up. Their scam number 800 772 9955 the real number 800 722 9955. I am very surprised it was a reply to an email I sent to Silversea.

I am getting some guys norway cruise

I am on the US site and get someone else as well.

We are just back from Seabourn Encore Singapore-Philippines round trip. Our 5th cruise in last 14 months on 4 different cruise lines. All are having staffing problems. Most obvious in the dining rooms where you have the most interaction. Some days you get the experienced staff and your wine glass is full and you are done around an hour. next night you get the trainees, and you beg for wine and water and it takes over 2 hours. Tours have glitches also. Encore was the first cruise ship in 3 years at some of these ports but most went well. all of the staff is well selected for their jobs. The experienced ones anticipate your needs and soon address you by name. the new ones need improvement but are trying to learn. experience over time is needed'

just did it there last month. we went day before our cruise. no appointment just walked in. $60 added to our ship bill and results while you wait. 30 minutes total time . they are open days when CCL and RCL ships are there. don't like price but service was excellent.
