You absolutely canā¦Iāve requested veggies that were on a different dish, extra veg instead of the potato, a different side than whatās in the description, extra dressing on my Caesar salad etc. If itās not something they can do theyāll let you know but Iāve never had them say that, they really do want you to be happy!

I love the exceptional entertainment that Eddy Jenkins lines up but Iād have had a hard time deciding what to do at 10pm last nightā¦both the comedian in the Theatre and the Headline the Band in Sky sounded great. Hopefully one of them repeats later in the voyage. What did you do? Nice to have so many great choices.

Jim, first off Iām glad youāre enjoying your holiday and I hope that the weather and sea conditions and onboard experience continue to add to your travel enjoyment. Now to the Luke storyā¦like others, it just about brought me to tears. DH and I are also dog lovers and I canāt imagine how that officer got accepted to the canine program with an attitude like that, just unthinkable. My DH was a K9 officer for most of his career, although German Shepherds are the most commonly used breeds around here. Although our dogs had outdoor houses and runs they had plenty of playtime when not working and enjoyed their āhomeā to catch some much needed rest after a shift. Their coats were so thick in the winter that indoor time just made them hot and theyād stand at the door to be let back out lol. The dogs (he trained and worked three separate dogs through his career) loved going to work and were similar to pets when at home. Never chained up, fortunately we had a large fenced backyard. As each got closer to retirement they became pets and lived in the house, relaxing on the couch and enjoying their chew toys. They were all well loved and well cared for. Iām disgusted with the original owner of Luke and am very grateful that you were able to give him the life that he so deserved. Fortunately Lukeās treatment by the callous officer is not typical and most police K9s are treated by their handlers as partners with respect, admiration and love. Thank you for taking Luke in and loving him!

Although they are sister ships and share many similarities, Reflection has quite a few more cabins for the same capacity of the amenities including pool space and restaurants so there may tend to be more issues with lines for dining in Reflection and lounger availability as opposed to Silhouette. Suppose if the Reflection isnāt at capacity these issues wonāt be noticeable tho. We personally love the Silhouette and just wish it had an M class T-pool š¤

Iāve encountered that situation before and there was a choice to ābook anywayāā¦that way you can readjust your dining time later.

Pool looks empty with netting overtop? -
We had Eddy Jenkins on our Eclipse to Alaska cruise in September, totally agree heās one of the best! We had the basic wifi on that cruise and it was totally useless, could barely get our email and certainly couldnāt browse the web or even see anything on CC. We assumed thatās just the way it was to encourage passengers to upgrade. However, on Silhouette in Feb we had the basic again and it was great. So much better and were able to do everything we needed to, not trying to stream anything tho so that mightāve been an issue. Hope that the upgraded package works well for you and that itās not a location or ship specific thing.

Check that the amount you want taken out of your obc includes the additional gratuities/service charge. Could be why they want the cc so the total amount due is covered. You should see on the right hand side of the page the amount of the dinner plus the gratsā¦thatās the amount you need to enter in the box beside the available obc. Bit confusing but if thatās not the reason then š¤·āāļø

Another live review! Canāt wait to follow along, glad the ālivesā are all on different itineraries, weāll be traveling to so many places in the next few weeks š -
Weāve booked Silhouette next May for a Baltics and we depart from Amsterdam but return to Rotterdam. Will be nice to gain an extra port lol. Fortunately the train and transit system in the Netherlands is good so itās an easy ride to Schipol. Thereās a British Isles cruise prior to oursā¦Iām tempted to add it to ours as weāve never been so Iāll be paying close attention to your experiences. Cathy

Wow, can you tell how popular you are? I check the boards and youāve got five pages of posts in just a few hours from your original post lol. You def do an amazing job when you post and the info is so helpful to so many. Iām looking forward to following along on your adventure too! Donāt forget your passports! š

We have family in NZ and while the flights arenāt too bad the huge time difference really gets to me, so Iām very interested in this cruise and the incremental time changes that hopefully help the body to adjust more easily? Your itinerary also looks really goodā¦do you do any snorkeling on your excursions or are they more land based? Hope you have a great time and thanks for doing this report.

I just upgraded myself on the Millennium

On our Alaska cruise in September our ship, Eclipse, got as close to Hubbard as the expensive tour boatsā¦may not happen every time but could be a much better use of your dollars to upgrade your cabin! The Captain spun the ship around slowly so everyone got a great view. Your veranda will keep winds to a minimum so youāll be able to enjoy the view in private comfort! Nicely done, enjoy!
