Greetings expattraveler and 2aussiegolfers.
I shall be on board also for the Singapore/Hong Kong leaving on 21st December.
I posted a roll call for the cruise (unfortunately I made a mistake in the date of the first roll call so I re-posted).

Feel free to contribute.
It would be great to meet up.

Yes Robisan... If I dare say so the topic has been "covered" already :D

Leaving in a few days.

I carefully read all 21 lines of Seabourn's dress code (for ladies and gentlemen) that came with my cruise confirmation... fairly simple to understand... and I will abide by it.

I am on holidays and will not have time to check on other people's dress and wonder if it conforms to the dress code - the Maître d' and the staff can deal with that.

For the shock effect, I may just wear my Speedos at the pool :D but that is the subject of another thread !

Happy sailing to all.

Brian

Thank you all for your insight.

Brian

I am a repeat SB guest but I cannot recall the latest disembarkation time.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks

Brian

Hey everybody.

I have just found this thread and wanted to comment.

Azamara openly welcomes the LGBT community with informal elegance.

Kudos.

Brian

HI everyone

Booked on this cruise and looking forward to it immensely.

Anyone else on board?

Brian

In the meantime, I'll get out the popcorn :)

Looking forward to high class service later this month on Riviera.

Hmmm James

In that case, I'd have just a slim slice of cucumber.

This thread is great for Gin (and tonic) experts ;)

P.S. Do try "The Botanist" - a rare gin from the Island of Islay. On a recent trip to Ireland I discovered "Dingle" gin and "Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin" (oriental botanicals with gunpowder tea)... both excellent products.

French law obliges me to say "consume in moderation"

Thanks for your input. Glad to know that Fever Tree is available on board.

Thanks for that JMBobB !

Now add Tanqueray 10 or Hendricks.... nirvana :D

B

Thank you all for your very helpful replies.

Are there any supplies available for sale ... watercolours, paper, brushes etc... or does one have to bring one's own ?

Brian

Hi everyone

On an upcoming Riviera cruise (port intensive, one sea day) we would like to take advantage of the Artist's Loft. Is it open on port days ? We have been several times to some ports and will spend time on board at these.

Many thanks

Brian

Thank you Lyn and Mura

Hi everyone

Can anyone tell me which tonic water is served on board?

I like a nice G & T and prefer Fever Tree or Fentimans.

Many thanks

B

Thank you all for your feedback.

HI everyone.

I am on a "anchor - intensive" cruise (5 ports of call).

Can the butler arrange the tender tickets and the timing ?

Many thanks

Brian

Many thanks for your quick reply paulhants !

Cruise Critic is just the best.

Hello

Does anyone know why Queen Elizabeth had to go to Kobe instead of Yokohama for the 18 March sailing?

Thanks

Brian

No one can see how the friend thing works........ it doesn't...... or at least you cannot use it to communicate.

It seems to be just a statement of whom you have 'befriended'.

B.

Thanks, Clarky, for taking the time to keep us up to date.

Must say that I would prefer poor internet to poor food :)

Hello Clarky

Are you still there?

There seems to be a free-for-all going on about the merits or otherwise of Hotel Managers which is polluting your very interesting thread.

Thanks for your insight on the BCN CPT segment.

Brian

Thank you for that galeforce .

In the brochure, it states "enjoy your favourite newspapers and magazines from your smarthphone or tablet".

I was hoping to enjoy reading the paper with my breakfast in my suite. (I'm not a morning person !!!) :)

Brian

Hello Clarky

Many thanks for sharing your cruise with us.

I shall be embarking in Cape Town so it is great to have up to date news.

On reading the latest Seabourn brochure, I see a 'new' feature - PressReader mobile. Is this available on board?

If so, is there a good selection of international press and magazines (I would be interested in French & UK particularly)?

Is the service deducted from a wifi package, or how does it work?

Many thanks

Brian

Or choose again an excellent dish you enjoyed .....
