I like nice cake. Especially when someone brings it to me on a ship!

It's transitory.

Just checked, I am now on a 7:45 flight, as opposed to the 11am flight previously. We'll see what it actually is when we get to Oslo.😃 Anyone have any boot information other than they will be on the ship?

Wow, that's great to hear. Our friends just spoke to a Seabourn agent who told them there was only one flight at 7am and everyone wouldbe on that flight. Hope the person you spoke to is correct! We're going to need some popcorn and patience. 😃

I hear the butlers have specially made formal Carhart onesies. Which I have actually seen on a Seabourn trip.

She is probably still in Valetta collecting staff. One of the expedition team was on our SS Cloud trip in June and he was scheduled to meet Venture in Valetta. I thought the date was July 23, but that sounds a bit late. And as others have mentioned more last minute details. We too are excited for the trip having had 2 years of delays. I fully expect that there will be issues that are associated with a new ship. Combined with Covid supply chain and staffing problems could make for some interesting problems. That being said it appears that Seabourn are pulling out all the stops to make a positive first impression. I'm more concerned about actually getting there, with my luggage, than any shipboard problems. 😁 It's going to be fun, interesting and truly spectacular. I don't care if I see a polar bear, but a Narwhal that would be a real bonus. I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Lois - WHEW! Looks like August is a go!

Yikes, that is early.

Hmmmm, does the flight leave at 7, or do you leave the hotel at 7? I'm sure it will get sorted out in Oslo.

About to book our first Ponant trip. We will be traveling with a friend who has Celiac and will need a Gluten Free diet. Can anyone comment on Ponants menus and approach to GF diets. Thanks!

Just saw this pic. I guess Iggy jumped ship. 😃 Silverseas gain. Anyone know who is leading Venture Expeditions this summer. Luqui?
