Sounds like a Mr. Bean episode!

Why risk the wasted time? Write your comments in your favorite word processor and save them. Then, when you get around to the survey, copy and paste. It's what we all did back in the day when we were ultra concerned about shipboard satellite minutes. Why waste time composing online?

Our first and only SS cruise, perfect one way air itinerary - the exact one I would have chosen had I booked it myself: DEN direct to LHR via United 787 (Polaris), Tap Air A320? to LIS.(Business). Others haven't been so lucky, but as I say, I couldn't have done better.

Who dat? Is Vanderlaat not still the CFO? Or are you talking about RC moving Weir in from Celebrity as Hotel VP?

Suspect AKA Magic Carpet.

The explanation has been provided several times, but evidently forgotten.

We took the SS bus from the Tivoli and we boarded in time for buffet lunch, Nov '23.

Yes. On Dawn, we had Bulgari products.

Alas - Attempt greatly appreciated. We'll keep looking for him.

I think I may have mentioned this a long time ago, but Kaiseki seems a very ill chosen name for these restaurants. Kaiseki implies a very special style of Japanese cuisine, and these restaurants don't even begin to measure up to that. If were to take one of these restaurants off a SS ship and drop it anywhere in Japan with the Kaiseki name, I'm not sure whether you'd be met with more anger or more laughing.

Thanks for trying, whichever way it comes out.

Please, oh please, can you ask Anu if he was also a butler on Celebrity, most particularly on Constellation for the restart cruise out of Tampa? We have been trying to get contact information for him to ask about him and his family. Like idiots, we neglected to ask him before we disembarked. If we're talking about the same Anu, he was unquestionably the best butler we have ever had the pleasure of working with on any cruise ship, kind and intuitive. He may remember my wife. Hard to see Anu, since staff was masking during this cruise.

You'll find a core group of cruisers that really enjoy the shipboard experience who cross annually. About 1/3 of our ocean cruises are repo cruises, and we would see a lot of familiar faces each time. These were once (many years ago) offered at a steep discount vs. other cruises, but over time, their popularity has brought prices way up.

My wife had it a couple of times on Dawn in La Terraza last November, though I can't recall if it was called congee or juk or ??? The protein was pork.

It has been explained, but evidently forgotten.
