We just disembarked. There was generally one show in the grand salon, at 9:30pm. Entertainment was either the ship's resident 4 singers and 2 dancers, or entertainers brought onboard. We had a vocalist, magician, comedian and pianist.
I think one or two evenings they showed a movie.
We’ve been onboard since Vancouver. During our jacket distribution for the Vancouver-Juneau segment, only the blue versions were offered. They are nice, and appreciated.
Welcome aboard. I was told this morning in Colonnade that there are about 200 disembarking, and about the same number embarking. Odyssey is in fine shape, IMO. Glad you are joining us.
Would these Seabourn jackets provide sufficient warmth and protection for the Zodiac excursions? I know that layering for warmth is an option, and of course, that the weather conditions can vary.
I'm mainly interested if we need to bring an additional heavy jacket on the ship in additional to the Seabourn jacket we will presumably receive.
We are new to Seabourn and some friends submitted a referral for us. However, a Seabourn rep told us the referral program was not combinable with the current “Sail Away Event” promotion.
As many others have mentioned, just leaving a note seems to always work when we have specific requests. We do this when we have a butler as well, primarily for selection of the afternoon canapes.
This was a common occurrence on our Japan circumnavigation cruise several years ago, both for arrivals and departures in Japanese ports. Not to be missed. Sometimes it was a small group, other times a full high school band. Very much appreciated, and entertaining.
Enjoying your posts @RachelG . Thanks again for sharing your cruise experience with everyone.
New to Silversea.
I’m looking at an exterior shot of the Spirit. It looks like the Deck 5 suites might have a slightly disadvantaged view from the veranda due to the ship’s structure. Is that correct?
If so, we might consider a suite on a higher deck.
Thanks for any comments.
Hopefully no. However, the sea conditions are rough at the moment, which might delay the start of the hull cleaning operation by the divers. If the cleaning doesn't progress on schedule, Explorer might be delayed arriving into Auckland on 12 January. Will just have to wait and see how things go there today (Friday, 6 January).
King Crab season was cancelled due to population decline. Not just a Regent issue.

Andy Heath just boarded in Singapore. His wife Tammy is the social hostess.
Marsha Lawson is the assistant CD.
Not sure about the head sommelier. Will ask.
