Silver Spectre

La Dame is much smaller on the Muse than the Moon and Dawn, and IMHO has a much better atmosphere.

I think you will find that he just got off the Wind!

Is the Captain giving a daily update?

Too right it does, the discredited UK measure that really reflects things for the OAP’s just hit 14.2% here.

We did a T/A from Lisbon to Ft Lauderdale on the Moon in Nov last year, arriving early Dec, there is a ‘live’ report on here.

You may be but there are others onboard who are outraged.

Glad to hear that things have improved on the ex Silver Sewage @highplanesdriftersand that you are having a good time in Peru. Excellent photos too!

The replacement barman in the S.A.L.T. Bar was nowhere near as good and definitely had an attitude problem.

If they have any sense at all it will be done before the WC

@highplanesdrifterswhen we were in Ecuador on the Cloud 3 years ago we had a special wine and chocolate party onshore for all the quests and we’re each gifted a Panama hat.

It has been consigned to history.

Oh please don’t go. Is it something we said?

I hope so.

Really, they are not particularly well run at present and all RCG has done so far is degrade the product.

There were no daily temperature checks on the Moon recently unless you happen to quarantined in your suite with covid.

By its very definition Seedlip is not a spirit, it’s a distilled something, essence if you like. Calling it a spirit is just marketing nonsense. A spirit is by definition distilled alcohol.

That’s a wee bit brutal for a Monday afternoon.

On the Moon there is a smaller library in the Observation lounge on deck 11, I assume there is something similar on the Dawn.

Dr B can fill you full of Botox if you wish.

I must say I’m surprised that he hasn’t gone swimming 🦈

Nothing wrong with WC23 and the Shadow is in top top condition.

Becks and Heineken on the Moon last week. There are no non alcoholic spirits 🤣

Superb photos and videos @highplanesdrifters, thank you for sharing.

That’s so sad, what on earth did SS do to the ship when they had it expeditionised, surely these can’t be snagging issues?

Just to get back to the original reason for this thread. Things that were missing or had changed since our more recent voyage on this ship last year. There was no Prosecco and cold hand towel offered upon embarking, and this after a wait of almost 1.5 hours. The waiters carrying plates from the buffet in La Terrazza at breakfast and lunch has gone, I believe it was staffing related as it’s a new change and unlikely to be COVID related. The hot foie gras has been removed from the menu in La Dame, I couldn’t get an answer as to why and it’s still available in Atlantide. White Chocolate grappa is no longer available, and this is a choice not a supply issue. The crew to guest ratio on the longer segment was about .8 but for the fuller first segment it was .7. This is well down on pre pandemic. There were lots of pluses on what turned out to be a very enjoyable voyage, however prices have gone up, understandably so, but at the same time some of the things that helped to make it special are being chipped away.
