As I recall there were drinks available below the stands, can't recall food as we went to a restaurant for lunch. At the end of the day activities there were bars open on the track and you could walk around. The vendors have to charge similar prices as they would outside race day, we had Pizza and Grand Cru very reasonably post race at a little pizzeria waiting for the crowds to clear.

Grandstand K are good seats. The food a drink prices on the track are pretty reasonable considering.

It is with a little reluctance I write this …… had dinner at Kaiseki this evening …. It was really great ….. need to get some more booking before the rush. The presentation was beautiful, food very tasty and more than ample, tuna was so good I had it for desert as well 🙂 highly recommended, even with the extra $40 pp. -

It would seem from the website that after arriving in Singapore on March 3rd the next cruise is 10 May Venice to Rome …. So likely to be heading round Africa with no passengers …… that is going to hurt -

Not sure what Nyepi Day in Bali has to do with the Whisper transiting Red Sea in March when Bali is some 8,950kls away ? Maybe a separate post as good info for those not in the know. -

Based on the recent/current travels of the Silver Moon from Athens to Mumbai through the Med and around Africa.... that redeployment is scheduled to take 29 days. With dry-dock scheduled for around April 7 to May 9th...... .. something has to change -

Looks like the Silver Moon is likely ahead of the 6am 2nd Feb arrival schedule for Cape Town .... if my calcs are correct Based on current position at 18 kts with 1,202 nm to go needs approx. 2 days 19 hours, this should see the Moon in Cape Town around 6pm on the 1st Feb .... even reducing the speed to 17kts would only add 3 hours to this

Yes, status still the same .... had a few I really wanted to do .... espec in Sri Lanka

Considering the circumstances I think SS have done a sensational job in adjusting the schedule where we only miss out on Trincomalee.

Unfortunately fully booked for the 13th, was considering changing our booking to go up to Udaipur first -
Thankyou for finding this, looking like arriving at 7am and departing at 2pm ... Now can start planning around this ..... thanks again

Not sure I agree with these thoughts. The Moon is currently off Rabat with around 5129nm to go to Cape Town, that still likely gets them to Cape Town on the 2nd Feb. Then Cape Town to Mumbai is around 4,724nm, which at 17kt is around 11.5 days, likely to get the Moon in Mumbai on 13th/14th. They could make up 12 hours on the first day at sea (cruise day 3/4) All is not yet lost in my opinion, just could be a day + late out of Mumbai Forever the optimist
-
Interesting thought ....of course all the ocean currents seem to be flowing against the Moon's travels, but as far as I can work out it is probably only about 0.5KT .... but would still have been better flowing the other way !

Wouldn't like to be a SS logistics planner at the moment .... they would be stressed to the max
