duct tape Posted February 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2014 We received our new, much slimmer package today for a trip next month. It is still a silver box but too small for much use. The luggage tags are now paper without the faux leather tags. I have a box full if anyone needs them! The ticket is included in the Travel Journal which has been nicely, IMHO, reorganized. It includes all the pieces of info that used to be separated: itinerary, excursions, dress code, etc. I imagine there can still be a doc dance!

friedgard Posted February 24, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi Susan: We just got our silver box also, and no bag tags. Many of our old ones are falling apart. When and where are you going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beckaboo Posted February 24, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Just received ours... I had already looked at the PDF version of the travel journal on the new "My Silversea" ... I really like the new presentation. Lot less waste (those vinyl doc wallets!) and the port writeups are actually useful.

duct tape Posted February 27, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I need some sun and medical recovery time. I do not want to fly very far just now. Default...Spirit in the Caribbean! Everyone gets a 2nd chance when I am desperate. Will let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusababy Posted February 27, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I need some sun and medical recovery time. I do not want to fly very far just now. Default...Spirit in the Caribbean! Everyone gets a 2nd chance when I am desperate. Will let you know how it goes. Duct Tape I understand your need and know Spirit will accomplish that, since you have no other expectation. I too gave Spirit a second chance (after vowing never again) -- and sorry to say it confirmed my original decision. Thankful I have 4 other choices, and grateful there are others who love Spirit. Gotta keep on sailin'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted February 27, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Of course you and I prefer the FFs (first four), ESP the sweet little Cloud. We are not alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinPashmina Posted February 28, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 28, 2014 We have sailed on the Spirit 6 or 7 times, mostly with another couple. On one of these trips my friend turned to me and said: " if we hate the Spirit, why are we on her so much?" Well, great itineraries, good timing for a getaway, and SS acquaintances urging us. By now we have pretty much changed our minds and have stopped concentrating on what we don't like, and enjoying what we do. That said, we definitely prefer the Whisper and Shadow...perfect size for us. And the Wind and Cloud, mostly because we met them first! Duct Tape, Hope the warm weather and the beautiful seas will be restorative...always works for me! Bon voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WesW Posted March 1, 2014 #16 Share Posted March 1, 2014 CruisinPashmina, very well said--we have been on the Spirit 4 times but still prefer the Shadow/Whipser but when we're on the Spirit--we enjoy. We have been on the Cloud (but won't be back until they refurb the Gym and fix the seal (connoisseur corner adjacent Panorama lounge due to poor seal--second hand smoke permeates the first third of PL) what a lousy location--should of refurbed the cloud like the wind is now.

friedgard Posted March 7, 2014 #17 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Great! Did you sign up for the CC M&M? Hi: We have not yet. I am bringing her water gear to do my aerobics in the pool. If it would not be too much trouble, could you pack a few bag tags for me? I found my last one in my drawer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted March 7, 2014 Author #18 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I wouldbe happy to do so. Find the lady in the pool with the hat and gloves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest superradiationboy Posted March 7, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Wish I was there, to make you a cappuccino that says "get well soon!" on it! Well, it probably is too complicated for me at my level... :) Enjoy your sprit cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyG Posted March 11, 2014 #21 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hello....... I just received my very first silver box yesterday (sailing in 31 days!) :D I am not sure what the old one looks like so I don't know what I am missing but I am super excited about my first SS box! Quick question (I asked on my roll call) but just in case: It states you always have to wear a jacket around the ship. Is this true at night after dinner when you're just relaxing in a lounge or bar? The BF likes to dress for dinner, but I can't imagine him wearing a jacket all night every night (but he will if I say so!) LOL Just curious! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted March 11, 2014 Author #22 Share Posted March 11, 2014 If the dress code is formal or informal, men wear their tux/suit/jacket all evening after 6 PM. Jackets are not required on casual evenings. Enjoy your trip! Welcome to SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagerTravelerBC Posted March 15, 2014 #24 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Sad to hear of the downgraded package. Fresh Luggage tags were a great touch with the beginning of every trip. I think the ast cruise was 40% more then the previous cruise so they must have to slash budets somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
