Glad the weather has changed in your favor. Lovely photos!

Glad you got your poached egg 😀 The pictures of your day out are lovely; thanks for sharing.

Truly beautiful pictures !

I was in Istanbul last year. Thanks for bringing back great memories.

Where was the ship coming from when before docking in Brooklyn? I can't find any information on that. Thanks.

@Redking So sorry you've been ill; glad you are on the mend now. I don't have any specific questions about Scenic. I am just interested in your experiences and impressions, and look forward to them whenever you're ready. Thanks.

@Sabbycat I used PK Travel last year and they did a great job; I've posted their website below. They have many offerings and will customize as well. I also suggest asking for recommendations on the Ports of Call page for Greece. https://www.pktravelgreece.com/

@Redking Hoping you'll come back and give us your final thoughts on Scenic.

Looking forward to reading all about your trip. You've certainly earned it with that huge reno project!

I read it the same way. Also, my understanding is status with one line doesn't advance you on the others. So SS is calling it "status match" but I don't see any benefit.

I'm glad you got your back chocolates 😋 I have to say a Panama Canal cruise has always been on my list -- but pretty low priority; this thread is letting me know I need to move it up a bit! Thanks to all who have shared photos and videos; they are all greatly appreciated.

I am always impressed by those who can do a live thread. When I'm onboard I am busy taking in the ports, the ship (or a good afternoon nap), I don't know how people make the time to live post. Your posts are appreciated and, of course, it should be secondary to enjoying yourself. 😀

Love your positive attitude -- on all things! 😀

I am always very impressed by the effort you put into making name tags. I'm sorry you didn't get a bigger turn out from your roll call. Wishing you better luck on the next Blackjack Tournament 🤞🤞

What a sad story (and pretty much my worst nightmare.) Maybe they will find the wayward passport tucked into a random slot in a bag. I sure hope so.

See the thread below.

Thanks for this lovely trip blog. I hope you'll bring us along for your September cruise. 😀

@jollyjones You've certainly given us a great teaser! Looking forward to your adventure onboard.

Looking forward to learning all about your trip. I hope you have a good flight.

For the distilled water I email: specialservices@silversea.com You may not get a response but the water should be in your room when you arrive; if not, just ask your butler and it will be provided quickly. As for baggage tags: I believe final info is emailed about 15 days before the cruise but I've never checked if baggage tags are included. I get them at the pier or from from the SS rep for the transfer.

I did a simple google search and found this....

LOL I've rationed books too: Delayed starts or forcing myself not to sit up all night to finish a good thing. I'll have to explore that Gideon Oliver series. Thanks.

I've read all the Harry Bosch stuff. If you like that you may enjoy books by Tana French -- all her books are set in Ireland. I've most enjoyed her first three: In the Woods, The Likeness and Faithful Place. While the books are listed as a series each stands on it's own; generally, a secondary character from one book become the focus of the next book.

Phew! I've found this while you're still on page one! 😜 Looking forward to following your adventure. Enjoy!

Stunning photos! A safari has always been on my list; looks like I'll need to take a break from cruising to make this happen sooner.
