  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Explorer arriving in Juneau this morning. (Taken from Seabourn Odyssey)
  5. Beautiful weather today for Brilliance OTS in Haines Alaska.
  6. Millennium leaving Ketchikan on Mother’s Day.
  7. 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.
  8. Are the zodiac excursions in Alaska staffed by Seabourn personnel or would these be local operators?
  9. Your TA is correct. There is nothing to worry about. Happens to me all the time. Never had an issue.
  10. Excellent recommendation on the packing cubes. They are great, for all the reasons you cited.
  11. We are new to Seabourn. Generally, what time are the suites available for occupancy? Is it a tiered approach, similar to Regent?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Can answer my own question... air desk is open M-F, 9am-6pm ET (according to the recording)
  15. Is the Regent Air Department open on weekends, or is it only Monday-Friday?
  16. 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.
  17. I did not realize that the air credit can change over time.
  18. I'm also glad to see the in-person muster drills back in place.
  19. 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.
  20. The cleaning appears to be complete. Explorer is currently sailing at a fast 19.6 knots toward Auckland.
  21. 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).
  22. King Crab season was cancelled due to population decline. Not just a Regent issue. https://www.nationalfisherman.com/alaska-s-crab-fishery-canceled-for-the-first-time-since-1994#:~:text=Low stocks have prompted the,the winter 2021-2022 season.
  23. I am told the head sommelier is Jolisa (Joelisa?).
  24. 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.
