Remember Nico?

We are extremely sad to learn of Fernando’s retirement from Silversea, but we wish him well in his new affiliation with Crystal and his long time friend Manfredi. It will be impossible to replace him. Our hope is that the new Crystal will “grandfather” Passengers with Silversea perks although I can’t begin to imagine the cost of that.

Can you please tell me who the Hotel Director and Captain are. How long will you be on board? Would love to see you both again.

CP. so glad to hear you are all right. Unfortunately, we will be getting off the Moon right before you board. I hope you have a good cruise and can return to your home when you get back.

Dusababy. thank you for the update. I am glad to hear she is safe.

The ship is magnificent. We used our two free weeks and then upgraded to the Royal Suite. What an incredible treat. By far the nicest suite we have ever had. Great floor plan and the wrap around veranda was party central. The crew is very good. Although the menu was limited, we enjoyed the food very much. We really enjoyed Pablo at the piano. Of course the itinerary is great. Be aware, donations to the crew welfare fund must be done in cash and there is no acknowledgement of the donation.

Just got back from 2 weeks in the Galápagos and have discovered the joys of Ecuadorean chocolate and coffee. So glad I was able to bring some home. My thoughts are with all those who mourn the Queen. Has anyone heard from Cruising Pashmina who lives in Sanibel?

I am not intending to start a whole discussion about the terrible storm, but has anyone heard from Crusing Pashmina?

Could someone please find out if Gilbert and Grant will be on the Transatlantic. Many thanks. How was ping pong in Panorama?

I have used a Gaggia Factory (Tin Man) espresso maker for many years. I recently started using a Mazzer grinder and am happy with the results. We are on well water so I always filter it.

We were under the bridge one time on the Spirit, and there was a fair amount of heavy foot traffic.

Sounds like a wonderful cruise. Menton is a favorite of ours. Hope you have a great trip.

RIP Judie. I still smile when I think of Kashena and that whole group of performers. I remember Jovani singing “This nearly was mine” as a special request.

One of our highlights in Bergen was going to the fish market with David Bilisand nd sampling king crab!

Will you be on board for the Trans Atlantic?

JollyJones. Thank you so much for the detailed information and link.

All this talk of covid on board has made me very concerned. We have splurged on a Silver suite on the Moon later this year. If we were to test positive and had to move to deck 6, would our travel insurance (through Silversea) compensate us for the difference in fare and what appears to be the lesser dining options? If we had to disembark, who would pack our bags? Would we be compensated for the loss of part of the voyage if we disembarked early or were unable to take the b2b? Sorry to bring up the subject, but I hope someone on board has an answer.

We were surprised how much we enjoyed the herring museum tour.

We prefer 11 with easy access to the Observation Lounge. No noise from above.

Great report. Do the wines have to be sourced in Ecuador? Can you get a filet at hot rocks?

I was told the following: September 10 76 passengers, September 17 68 passengers. That will no doubt change between now and then.

I had heard that if you do P2P, you do not get your ”days”. My TA checked with SS and assured me that we would get credit for the days if we do P2P. It never occurred to me that our discount would not apply to the fare. Thank you for highlighting that issue. Now if SS would just get back to us about our reservation request after almost 2 weeks!
