Suite Travels & Techno123, I'm with both of you. I'm not sure what Seabourn is currently offering, but unless there is a change, I'll be bringing my own toiletries with me on my next Silversea cruise, as neither Bvgari, Ferragamo, nor Neutrogena are cruelty-free. It is heartening to see that the world is finally becoming aware of these needless atrocities. The sooner the better!

What FANTASTIC stories!

There will certainly be bubbles imbibed with brunch at my table! I used to feel so utterly sordid and decadent when I'd break down and have a kir royale before sundown, but I got over that damn fast! And ever since reading about it on the Hebridean website, I can't shake the image of morning steel cut oats with cream and a wee dram. I just may be making that a reality on the Wind before the year is done.

Overspill seating makes sense. I had assumed it was an out and out error, but was amusing myself greatly imagining all of the decadent offerings that would be offered at breakfast...<g> Who knows, this could be the newest trend in luxury cruising!

I just happened to be looking at the blurb on Silversea's website for Le Champagne on the Silver Wind and saw what I take to be a typo - "Open-seating for breakfast and lunch, reservations required for dinner". It's been some time since I've been on the Wind, but if it's true, I'd be curious to hear what's on offer for breakfast in lunch in Le Champagne. <g>

I'm up for lightly scrambled eggs with chives and caviar along with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot, anyone with me?

Thanks duct tape. Goes to show how long it's been since I've taken a cruise!

I'm in the process of booking us on the Silver Wind and was wondering if a wine pairing option is still offered in Le Champagne. Has anyone sailed recently with any knowledge?

I'm wondering what the current charge is for the pairing and if it includes the $40 dining fee or is in addition to it. Also, what wines are being poured? Are they worth the additional fee? How generous are the pours?

I'd love the opportunity to taste multiple excellent wines paired to a wonderful menu, but haven't been able to find much information on what Silversea is currently offering. Please share any information you might have!

Thanks,

Bechi
