Thanks for all the answers.

My memory is failing me.  I liked the shampoo in the Concierge cabin on Beyond.  I thought it was Molton Brown peppermint.  I should have taken a picture.  Does anyone know.

I went to the link in your original posting.  I also did a google search for Diogi's Madeira Island Taxi with whom you toured.  They take me to different taxi services.  Please help me understand which you used.  Thanks.

I am also aggravated/upset/annoyed with Seabourn.  They are part of Carnival and other lines within Carnival have better policies.  Why is there not an umbrella policy for their lines?  We are scheduled to embark on April 20 and have 10 days to make up our minds what we are going to do.  If we had until April 18 to decide we would feel a lot better and we'd have a lot more information with which to make an informed decision.  We have also called Seabourn and get the same corporate speak.  It is our first time on them as well.  We are loyal Princess cruisers and were upping our game with this trip.

Thank you to all who responded.

I have heard of VIP status on Silversea.  What does it do for you?

We are Elite.  We tried 6 times and never made it.  Finally got picked the 7th time we asked.  We do call DINE the minute we get on the ship.

We wanted to upgrade as well. We were told no. It was because we had booked under a certain promotion and the upgrade price was under a different promotion. Their policy is that you cannot change promotions after final payment.

What is the website that has the information you have compiled, Renmar? Thanks.

Just packed and had to take a larger suitcase. Oh well!

I was hoping that the ship had the on demand movies now. We were on her last October and they did not. We were on the Royal and the Regal in January and those on demand movies are nice. They would be even nicer for the days at sea crossing the Atlantic.

Love, love, love your posts on here and John's on the Facebook page. Your descriptions are fantastic.

Cruisenfever, apparently the picture of 1598 is not there anymore. Would you be willing to re-post if you still have it?

We were on board last week. You would never know there were 700 kids on the ship.

I am enjoying following along with your travels - thanks. I also enjoy reading about your purchased "treasures". But how do you get them all home?

Diane and John, thanks for the great blog and now the great pics on facebook.

That worked. Thanks. It is actually "dianeandjohn stjohn". There is a space between first names and surname.

I tried to find them on Facebook and could not find them. I have been following their adventures on Cruise Critic for years and wanted to have a peek at their adventure. Any advice?

WJBWJB, Thanks for the blog. It is good to see pics.

Thanks for the insight and photos. I am especially happy because we leave on the Royal Princess on January 19. And we live in a town right next to Clemson, SC.
