Many thanks for the recommendation, Mauzac. Helpful.

As I understand it, we are required to have evidence of a negative Covid test ( PCR or antigen (which I think is what we in the UK know as lateral flow or rapid antigen test)) taken in the three days before embarkation ( in Italy), and that the test has to have been medically observed. I am concerned to know what the test result evidence needs to show (apart from my name, perhaps passport number and that it was negative) in order to comply with Seabourn’s requirements. Has anyone from the UK experience of using a UK based test provider whose documentation or certificate Seabourn has accepted. I have in mind testing companies such as XPress, Boots, et al

It is several years since we sailed with Silversea, in the days before the Silver Muse class ships and inclusive shore excursions were introduced. We shall be sailing on Silver Moon later this year and are impressed by the number of dining options available. I am sure this question has been asked many times before, so apologies for asking again, but is it necessary to book ahead to eat in any of the restaurants and dining venues other than La Dame and, in the evening, for the Japanese restaurant and, I think, Silver Note? Are the rest open seating on a turn up basis? If any booking is required for any restaurant is it advisable or necessary to book ahead of boarding, or will there be scope to do so on board? As to included shore excursions is it necessary or advisable to book before boarding? If so, how far in advance, and do thy typically fill up quickly with finite limits?
