Thanks, JP, for sharing your experience! My husband and I have had a stressful year thus far, so we haven't been able to spend any time thinking about our upcoming trip. Your posts have really inspired us and now we are super excited to sail this week on Explorer. Thank you so much!

Hi All - thank you for the info on the dress code on Explorer! The links posted by JP were so helpful! I off to find some sparkly tops :-)

Hi fellow travelers - we are beginning to pack for our May 16th sailing on Silver Explorer. It is nice for once to not be dragging the formal dresses and shoes. We do love dressing up, but we are looking forward to this way of cruising.

What should we expect as dress code in the dining room in the evenings?

Thanks!

Hi fellow travelers - we have decided to leave London early and spend an evening in Portsmouth UK prior to sailing on Silver Explorer. Does anyone have a recommendation for a boutique hotel and things to do in Portsmouth?

Thanks!

Jettman

Wow! Thanks for the information. We are indeed docking in Greenock. Thanks, JP for correcting me because that is an important detail when planning train travel!

Hi fellow world travelers - Our ship disembarks in Glasgow and we want to take a train to Edinburgh. Has anyone taken a train to Edinburgh and want to share your experience? We would really appreciate learning from your experience.

Hello Silversea Travellers - we are booked on Explorer for the May 16th sailing out of Portsmouth. We are looking into our transportation options from London to Portsmouth. Does anyone have a prior experience to share? Is the train a viable option?

Thanks!

Can anyone confirm that Silver Explorer is going through a refurb in April 2014? Do you know what is being done? We are reading that Explorer really looks tired and needs new carpets and paint.

Any comments on the condition of Explorer is appreciated. We will sail on Explorer for the first time on May 16th out of Portsmouth.

Thanks,

Jettman

It has been a while since we sailed Celebrity, although we have always enjoyed it.

Can anyone tell us when the latest updates were made to infinity, and what they were? We are particularly curious about:

1) balconies added to Celebrity suites. Are they nice? Seemed like a good move that was overdue, but wondering how they turned out.

2) refurbishment of royal suites. They were very tired and worn out our last few trips. Lots of space but pretty dingy and furniture and fixtures were worn down. Have they been refurbished?

3) adoption of solstice class changes. Anything to share? We are elites, but have not sailed since these changes so curious as to what to expect.

Big fans of Celebrity and loved the Millenium class ships. But lots of changes have been made and we are curious about them.

Thanks in advance!

We heard the Silver Explorer is going into dry dock in April 2014, which explains the gap in the cruise schedule. Anyone know what is being done?

I have some coupons available and I sent you an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi HunEBear

Just checking back with you to see if you have a referral coupon available for my husband and I. We are first time cruisers and would VERY much appreciate your offer of a referral coupon! Our email: pattibrowncpa@yahoo.com

Thanks!

If anybody is interested, I have a referral coupon for a $400.00 ship's credit. The only limitions are that this must be your first cruise with Seabourn and that you have not made your final payment.

Hi Schnauzerdad

My husband and I are first time Seabourn cruisers and would love to receive a referral coupon for the shipboardd credit. Do you one left for us? My email is

mendomail-home@yahoo.com

Please let us know if you have one available. We really appreciate it!

Thanks!
