Thank you for the heads up.

How fun! Looks like you like to go South in the winter. We really liked Australia. Are you on a cruise?

We are still considering taking it prior to our tour that begins 1/12/25.

We are planning on arriving in Tahiti from the US at 6:30 a.m. We will then take a taxi to the Papeete Ferry dock and take the ferry to Moorea. We are trying to arrange for transfer from the dock to the Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort. The transport company is asking for our boat schedule 1 day before we arrive. What would be a reasonable time to tell them?

@jessandarnie How did you know that over 60 rooms were available?

It is good to know about all of these events. Thank you for your help.

Is their any way to find out if the cruise will have a wine tasting event before embarkation? If so, is there a way to sign up for it early?

We went on our first cruise on Silver Sea Silver Moon in May and loved it. So we were very excited about our trip on Regent Splendor we had scheduled for August. It was okay, but a disappointment compared to our previous trip. We are trying Regent again on the Mariner in December and hope for a more attentive crew experience then.

Thank you all for your contributions! You have provided me with information that will help our Caribbean experience to be a great one.

We are considering the following excursions on our Caribbean cruise: *Damajagua waterfalls & Cultural Experience *El Yunque rainforest *Private Sailing & Snorkeling, St. Barts *Champagne snorkel by land, Dominica *Virgin Gorda & the baths, British Virgin Islands We like to be active and avoid coach intensive excursions. Based on this, what has been your experience with these particular excursions.

Yes, I know. But I believe that COVID started to flare up near the end of the voyage. Another couple also reported positive tests a few days after disembarking.

My husband and I contracted COVID from our trip on the Splendor that disembarked on 9/12. I am wondering If we got it from one of the guests that was coughing like crazy on an excursion bus we rode on 9/11.

No, I never saw a complimentary wine list for Silverseas. I saw one for Regent, so I assumed one could be found for SS.

I was pleased with the complimentary wines offered on my recent Silver Moon voyage. I would like to try and find some locally. May someone on Silver Moon send me a picture of the complimentary wine list??

I didn't like most of the complimentary wines that were offered at mealtime. When I asked for a wine list, I was given one with pricy premium wines, which I ordered from a few times. Does Regent not provide a list of complimentary wines offered?

We are considering the Delfin II Amazon river cruise in January. They also offer a pre-cruise extension to Lima for 1 day. Has anyone done this extension and if so did you enjoy it?

Thank you everyone for your comments. They help to relieve my concerns. I'll give Viking a try.

I've read comments about needing to go to the dining room early because there is a line at 5:45. I didn't experience line when I cruised on SS. So I am concerned about booking a Viking cruise. Is it true that we would have to "line-up" for dinner? If so, why is that done?

On Splendor, what time are the venues open for breakfast? Is the breakfast buffet or ala carte? Same questions for lunch and dinner... Thank you in advance. I wasn't able to find this information in any of my searches.

We just had an SS cruise this month and the 2nd Wi-Fi cost us $30 per day.

Well, I requested diet caffeine free coke through my TA over a month ago. I am on Silver Moon now, and no luck. 🥺

We've got an invite to call someone in another room. Do you know if we have phones in each room to call another room or if we would need to use a cell phone?

In reading the Silver Sea's materials, they recommend wearing masks when inside or in a vehicle. Do you know if Silver Seas provides masks on the ship, or if we should pack masks?

On the seaborn Odyssey deck plan, what is the blank space between rooms 636 and 638?

We've been assigned room 644 on the Silver Moon. We noticed that it's right above the Dolce Vita lounge. We tend to go to bed fairly early. Will noise from the Dolce Vita be noticeable in our suite?
