    Hi Les, the Emirates issue was rain in the UAE and flights cancelled. We have had rain but yesterday afternoon was nice and today is sunny, off the South Korea tomorrow. shocked yesterday to find that SS no longer stocks Drambuie or Polish vodka. ***** is going on here?

    Today we are in Kagoshima. Visited the Sakurajima volcano and this afternoon we were treated to a view of it without clouds.

    An interesting day in Shimizu yesterday, with our tour completely rescheduled. We visited a Buddhist temple, followed by a shrine. We lastly went to a volcanic beach for an iconic photo stop to see the elusive Mt Fuji, which was covered with clouds and invisible. At Team Trivia we came joint first.

    Finally onboard at 1:30. A quick lunch at La Terrazza and a big hello from Gilbert, Jason and the crew. Bumped into Norman who has just joined. Stopped by Reception to say hello to Begonia and Flavio. It’s great to be back home!

    About to start a long journey to Tokyo to meet the Shadow WC, thankfully not flying Emirates this time.

    We are staying in a D2D SS hotel in Tokyo next weekend, originally scheduled and priced as the Conrad Hilton, it’s now the somewhat cheaper Yokohama Westin. As usual with SS these days, the hotel bookers decided to move everyone there and left the poor London consultants with no option than to apologise.

    Well RCL only parachuted someone with bean cutting experience into SS some 3 or 4 weeks ago. Since she has left with immediate effect it sounds like she either got the push or fell out with him or the board pretty fast. IMHO this is just another nail in the coffin for the Silversea that many of us have loved for years and which is dying slowly from a thousand cuts.

    At the moment SS is charging for a 6* product and struggling to provide much over 4.5*s. Understaffed by new, undertrained or uninterested crew, huge supply issues and a complete lack of interest or understanding from shoreside. And a tin ear from senior management.

    Clueless

    If the cruise line aborts the cruise then they should be responsible for getting people home. SS have failed their guests who didn’t book D2D.

    Maybe it’s going to be sold. After our recent experience onboard it might be sensible.
  20. Silver Spectre
    Quite frankly this along with the new fare structure accelerates the race down to the mass market lines.
  21. Silver Spectre
    Not on the Spirit recently!

    That only works if you booked air with them. If you only booked the cruise then they apparently don’t care or feel they are under any obligations other than to pay for a small rowing boat or maybe an economy flight that doesn’t exist.

    I just saw this and was truly appalled. Apparently the HD is new on the ship and doesn’t appear to have had any training. If this was done off her own back, then hopefully she will be gone soon. If it was authorised by corporate then SS needs to change all their marking asap and ‘own’ this.
  24. Silver Spectre
    Should just be a back pack

    It would seem there is still a deafening silence from senior management at SS. All this does is mirrors the appalling handling of the early Spirit GV ending. It looks like a pattern is appearing.
