I found this advice somewhere else on CC and it had never occurred to me. Interesting suggestion:
>"My suggestion for anyone taking a taxi ANYWHERE in the world... as you step into the taxi, take your phone and take a picture of the taxi driver's licence. It's a lot more intimidating for them to do anything when you have a picture of their licence to hand in as proof of who it was when you need to make a complaint."
Super idea Jane! We then probably would still have our brand new video camera with the irreplaceable film of our 30st anniversary voyage together with our children on the Seabourn Sun.....:rolleyes:

Here in the Netherlands we will eat "oliebollen" today and "appelflappen"..... very traditional sweet goodies! (like hot cake balls...)
Happy New Year!

Flygod - tried to send you an email but your address is incorrect- it should have an @ somewhere, and when I put one in it still did not work. Please send it again - I will be happy to post you a coupon.
Just in case "Flygod" misses your post: "at" = @ ......

hi sn,
i am new to cruise critic and have only come here as we are about to leave for a christmas cruise on seaboard. having seen your words about your husband's gout i thought i might say how terrible it is that he is in this state. having osteoarthritis and a number of years of rather chronic gout, i started seeing a specialist and now am nearly free of symptoms. i assume that you are aware of the purine chart for foods and what can be helpful and what is not. when you mention the rich life of being aboard ship, i can assure you that this has almost nothing to do with the onset of gouty arthritic episodes. the major factor is genetics and once episodes begin, the best defense is an anti-imflamitory followed with a drug to lower uric acid(allopurinol). and lots of water to flush the system. each onset of gout can further damage joints so getting on the right medication asap is best. find a very good and patient rheumatologist quickly before he ends up with kidney stones. neither of you will want to deal with that.
i know this is off topic from the thread but it can be very serious, as you already know.
good luck.
Thank you so very much for being so kind to be off topic to give your good advice for my husband and even more so in your first ever post on Cruise Critic - I'm very honoured!
First of all : Welcome to Cruise Critic and especially the Seabourn Board!
Secondly I would like to wish you the best Christmas holiday ever...
And last but not least: Thank you for you advice (of which we are aware mostly). It yurned out that this time my husband had developed Erysipelas and after antibiotics and hospital for nearly a week, antibiotics in oral form again, he is still not better yet. Doctor in half an hour....
Thanks,
Marja

While my patient is asleep, I wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving! Though we don't celebrate this in Nederland, I think it would be a great idea to celebrate it all over the world!:)

Thanks Seabourn friends on Cruise Critic! René still has to stay in hospital and the foot/leg are not better yet! Fever went down though.... However his leg is very hot.
He must have had a tiny little wound of any kind on his foot in which a bacteria "settled down" while on the ship.
Hope to see improvement tomorrow...
Have a nice Sunday!

Would you like to join me in the group "Seabourn Friends" on Facebook.... Please do so!
It is a group of both guests and crew members, an open group just for fun, photos and some news.
No competition to Cruise Critic's Seabourn Board whatsoever. A group where you can stay in touch with your Seabourn friends, or maybe even find "lost ones"!

If you have a lot of time and want to read about this story, try the thread LauraS started on Cruise Critic:
http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1286962
Have you ever been in a situation like this? Or a similar one, when you thought: This behaviour is just going too far, this person is out of line and should actually be removed from the ship? Trust me.... I have (but decided to avoid all the hassle that comes with it, like the other party denying, an investigation and other people taking sides, which is all very stressful not only for me (us) but also for the entire crew and captain. That's why we decided not to make a case out of the "event"...:(
And no, I'm not going to explain more about it. We will try to forget it, as if it never happened. I just hope the person involved will stay away from Seabourn in the future:mad:!

Surely plural?
"The police are coming" sounds better than " the police is coming" :confused:
(and will they ever get here?)
For me this is not natural..... "Politie" in Dutch is singular (meaning the police force). There are more of those words in the English language....

Is 'Seabourn' singular or plural? I think because it is 'Seabourn Cruise Line' it is singular. This issue seems to be divided in the Forum usage.
Where is William Safire (RIP) when we need him?
The "Police" is always confusing and difficult for me as well...

Henry - Regarding your quick update: I totally agree with Linda. Find a good travel agent in the UK.
By the way, I've contacted the UK office a couple of times by email and received answers the same day. To them I would like to say: Keep up the good work!

Took Writer100's advice yesterday & sent an e-mail to the Florida office via the Seabourn website. I used the drop down box department choice 'Guest Services' Lo & behold received a reply overnight that my coupon was received, sent to them & applicable credits applied. UK should have relayed this information(!)
E mail back was from a lovely lady named Adriana - seabournclub@seaborn.com - may I suggest that you send a pdf scanned copy of the missing voucher to this address with an explanation of your problem & I feel sure after the quick reply I received, they should be able to sort it out.
If the standard of the US service I received is reflective of the service on board ship, then I'm even more excited about my trip! It's just a shame the UK office lets the side down for us this side of the pond.
Writer100 - don't take your 'bashing' to heart, we can be a bit competitive with our 'wordsmithing' over here!
Very good advice! Just want to let you know that you miss typed the Seabourn Club email address: seabournclub@seabourn.com
Have a nice weekend all!

Let's try this:
Today is the "Gay Parade" through the Amsterdam Canals. In boats of course, all dressed up, mostly in pink. This morning a cruise ship arrived in the PTA (cruise terminal) having 2.100 gays on board! I wish we could offer better weather!
