Why is it so hard to question and comply with a long established, reasonable dress code that elevates ladies and gentlemen for an evening or two of an adult dining experience ??

I very much like the report about these small details and annoyances -- which, if not corrected, may become a PIA - totally unacceptable on SS. Keep the faith !

We did that on the Muse - got caught in a terrible hurricane in the N. Atlantic -- I was musing (pun intended) about what to take when we abandoned ship and was told "we wouldn't stand a chance." Not to alarm anyone but......it was part of the book of memories....🥰

And with my Walter, whose motto was "If not now - when?"

Glad kitty is making it. Vet Techs are angels in disguise. One saved my elderly kitty when I couldn't - she took him home with her and within days he was good as new. So much for my best nursing skills.

I just heard from her daughter who said her house is uninhabitable and she is staying with a friend but she's OK. I've tried to contact her directly but of course no luck. Will keep you informed Victoria if I hear more.

Gee - wish I could afford a box of chocolates in California. See's -- favorite -- has priced itself out of my budget. Aldi carries some fabulous German chocolates -- at ridiculously low prices. (Saving money for cruising....)

Years and years ago-- early 70s - DH and I were in Scotland near the railroad station. We saw a beautiful black train on the tracks -- THE ROYAL TRAIN. We asked the guard what gives? About that time a Bentley drove up right past us, could have reached out to touch her. She was with a lady in waiting on the other side. I do remember her complexion was radiant. My DH said "She looks just like the stamps."

I LOVE CROSSINGS. After a very few days, enter into another world. No pressure -- do or don't participate in many and varied opportunities for entertainment - or not. Nothing like having a lazy, wonderful lunch and then retiring for a little nap before getting dressed for cocktails and dinner. Life at its best !!

I am so effing tired of men (little boys) rebelling against the "rules" just because they can ! They are destroying a big part of what makes Silversea special, and are doing a great deal to reduce it to just another mass market mosh. Please please grow up. Respect rules. Management - please please ENFORCE the codes, Guests - protest nicely when violations occur. Everyone - let's act like ladies and gentlemen and we'll all enjoy it more.

Love to quote Judie's famous line: "I'm so glad I saw the world before we ruined it." RIP Judie -- sorely missed in this crazy world.😞

Is it too much to ask that a "gentleman" wear a jacket to dinner? We've had enough relaxation of social standards and common courtesy and decency -- please let's just hang on to what little semblance of adult respect for others we can muster. Would you rather have dinner with a full dining room on Silversea or Carnival?

Back in the day on Silversea, I shopped from St. Petersburg all across the Baltic searching for a fine necklace of amber. Found the perfect one I was looking for in a jewelry shop in Gdansk.

Me too. Ask for some cevapcici -- the national Croatian sausage that is prevalent all over the area. Chris should put together a menu for you......
