CLOU-

It is very strange that only the sleeves would shrink.  Was this a brand new shirt?  Maybe it was a problem with the brand, the label, the material used, the way it was sewn, etc, etc. 

As others here, we have never had any problems with the SB laundry. 

Strange indeed. I have never experienced shrinking sleeves. However, I do find my shirts, shorts and cotton slacks all come back from a cruise somewhat tighter around the waist after they have been laundered by Seabourn so I guess that must explain it.

Did you get a reply? Was it positive?

Agree on all the above Markham. Think the David referred to may be “Portuguese David” now one of the Asst M’d in MDR who just rejoined in Lisbon having recently married we understand.

We have sailed a couple of times before with Robert as ACD. He moved up to CD earlier in the year on Sojourn in Alaska. English, with a fine tenor voice, he got through his first session of Team Trivia today without any challenges or blood letting, however it is only Day One of the crossing!  His ACD is also English, a young woman called Beth.

Hi gofish - yup - thats the one!

11 days to go and still waiting......

I did get a birthday card from Seabourn today, however.

Belated Happy Birthday in that case, M.  Best from me'and'er.

 Roxburgh my understanding is that Sophie will be on our December cruise so you will have a chance to say adios before she and. Claudio leave next spring. 

But I think you are sailing on Sojourn?

OP asked about Odyssey where the CD will be Robert Brendan, who was CD on Sojourn in Alaska earlier this year.

 I have been known to pose with the other two on at least one occasion each cruise 🙂

Nowt so strange as folk from t’North😂

 

...his coverage of the Kennedy assignation....

Really nice story Airtana. Does your spell checker know something the rest of us have only heard whispered??:evilsmile::evilsmile:

Prior to boarding, I didn't quite understand the concept of Sanbourn Square.

Think your spell checker may have had a slight wobble here!;p;p;p

Like a patch or a crest?

 

I think of a badge as a piece of insignia denoting membership or affiliation with an organization.

It can, equally , be that - usually made of metal or plastic and fixed to a garment with a pin. However, in the context used in the original post referring to a blazer, it would usually be as described by pedro3gb.

...We had a 92yo New York lady who told the bluest jokes ...

Wondered where my mother in law had disappeared to..:evilsmile::evilsmile:;p

As opposed to what? Steerage? Every room is a suite so this tells the OP nothing. smdh

How unnecessarily sarcastic. Every cabin IS a suite - so the OP knows that from the brochure. Suite Guar tells OP s/he has a guarantee, i.e. suite number not specified at this point as s/he has paid a cheaper fare to have whatever suite is allocated at/nearer boarding time. Therefore that is all s/he CAN be told at this point.

If you don't have anything helpful to say, I suggest you don't get involved:cool:

a guaranty suite

Then Suite Guar is correct

What did you actually book?

That's exactly my issue. We have the 300 minutes for a transatlantic. Hubby and I will both use at least that just doing office check-ins. If we were on a port intensive cruise, we'd be fine as we can turn our phones into hotspots. But at sea, our hands are tied.

Hi Jeni we are on same T/A as you. When were you told of the 300 mins wifi deal as we have asked about it thro' TA who cannot get information from SB. Also, when did you book? Thanks.

Must be a neat trick to make the 7:45 show with the Restaurant opening at 7. Perhaps they offer the main course and dessert to go? :confused:

Some people just never give up:loudcry::loudcry:

That's something I want to know too :)

Answer - yes you can. Some days it is in one of the chafing dishes along the buffet area. If not, jusk ask the waiter at your table.:D:D

One of the only issues is the anchor noise deck five forward on the Odyssey class ships. If you don’t like being awakened by loud metal cranking while the anchor is lowered at 7 am , ok. but I found it annoying.

If you speak nicely to the Captain he will arrange for a couple of the tenders to be sent out with stern warps connected to the ship's bow and they will hold the ship steady on station until everybody's in breakfast and they can then lower the anchor without disturbing anyone;p;p.

...with my somewhat younger Latina looking wife.

Say hi!

And what do you look like - other than 60?

Is the 7-layer Chocolate cake at TK allowed?

 

Not sure I could live without that.

Not if you are diabetic - which is what this thread is about.

I have to ask, what did you eat at TK which didn't add mass? I want that menu.

OP did not refer to mass, rather to blood glucose which is measured by A1C. Much of the TK offering is fine Caesar salad with dressing, cheese and anchovies, Nigerian shrimps, consommé, steaks, Dover sole, etc.

Need to avoid totally the bread and desserts which spike blood sugars and any sauces and creams where you cannot be certain there is no sugar incorporated.

Forget the rubbish talked about butter and full fat cream - they are absolutely fine; as is alcohol!

Just boarded the Quest and met with the maitre d and he advised they are very prepared as to low salt and fat meals. He said we will meet with the night before to plan my meals. I asked where he wanted to meet and he said he would find me and not to worry. He also said he will be happy to take care of my food needs. Ahhhh Seabourn ... like no other cruise line. If there is any interest I would be happy to share my first time “diabetic” experience onboard Seabourn.

As someone who has dealt with diabetes for nearly 20 years, and has undertaken considerable research I can assure you that “low salt and fat” meals will have zero impact on your A1C readings. Salt and/or fat intake does not affect blood glucose.

its, not it's

Well spotted;p

I see you are now in Tangier having sailed overnight from Portimao. The Med can often throw up unexpected weather systems that seem to come out of nowhere. That’s where we as a family learned to sail. Just hope it calms down for you before you sail back to Spain tonight! If not, two or three large malt whiskies after dinner should take care of it!:whiskey-glass::whiskey-glass::whiskey-glass::evilsmile:
