Rare Tothesunset Posted August 27, 2018 #28 Share Posted August 27, 2018 In Karolina you have one of SS's most knowledgeable and helpful sommeliers. She really seems to care that the customers are looked after and, if you have an unfinished bottle set away, will hunt you down wherever you happen to be dining to make sure you get your wine. One of our favourite SS employees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilio Posted August 27, 2018 Author #29 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Quickie question for you.....was that lovely Chianti an "included" wine? Also drooling over the LP Rose champers....mmmmmm! Loving your photos! Only in Denmark can you find little hearts carved into the guard huts! Yes, Chianti Clasico was included. The wine tasting featured 4 wines from Italy. All were a surcharge in the dining rooms. Prices were between $45-$65. Kerolina the sommelier is super nice and walks around all the restaurants greeting the guests. Will post more.

Neilio Posted August 27, 2018 Author #34 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Exploring Tallinn today. We walked 7.5 miles. Beautiful city with great character and cobblestone streets. Sailing to St. Petersburg right now and enjoying dinner at La Terrazza and watching beautiful sunset. A few pictures from our day with MDW upon return to ship later today.

Bluebelle14 Posted August 27, 2018 #37 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Does the LP Rose come as part of the American Express Platinum perks? I remember it used to be Dom Perignon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjnvoyager Posted August 27, 2018 #38 Share Posted August 27, 2018 No. We get it but don’t use AE. Think it’s more to do with the number of days that you have. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer Posted August 27, 2018 #41 Share Posted August 27, 2018 A brief question: Is there a public computer on Spirit? I recall a previous poster saying there is none after the stretch/refit. If so, I am disappointed. I use my iPhone and iPad extensively. However, there is occasionally need for a desktop. Will that need be answered? Many thanks.

Neilio Posted August 28, 2018 Author #46 Share Posted August 28, 2018 We sailed into St. Petersburg at 8am local time today. It was really exciting watching the tug pull us into the port. It was sunny and beautiful to watch from the top deck. We had scheduled 2 tours for the day through SilverSea; Hermitage and Faberge. Everything was very organized and happy with our decision to go through SilverSea. We left the ship at 9am and returned at 630 pm. Dinner at The Grill/Hot Rocks tonight. A few pictures from the day. The first two were taken as we were sailing into the port. We are continuing to thoroughly enjoy the cruise and the excellent service from SilverSea (in addition to the exciting and fun ports).

JBSHYQ Posted August 29, 2018 #48 Share Posted August 29, 2018 So pleased to see that there is an A la carte option for breakfast in Atlantide too!! I don't think they were doing this in the maiden Muse season, so this is a very welcome change. Is this for port and sea days?? Thanks for your reply in advance and great postings.

Neilio Posted August 29, 2018 Author #49 Share Posted August 29, 2018 2nd day in St. Petersburg. We had an early start for our tour and ordered breakfast room service and it arrived promptly at 6am. Delight to eat breakfast gazing at St. Petersburg. SilverSea Tour was excellent. Tour included Russian lunch that was delicious with some vodka! Also included was caviar with pancake and sour cream, borscht soup (served hot), beef stroganoff and apple cake for dessert. Delicious lunch in a very pretty restaurant near Catherine’s Palace. Dinner tonight at Silver Note. The concept has changed slightly. Now offering appetizer and main course and not small plates. The space is sophisticated and the singer and piano player were excellent. A few photos from the day. Our cruise is coming to an end in just a few days. We are hanging on to the remaining time as the trip has been fantastic and Silver Sea continues to exceed our expectations.
