There are some great photos being posted by the AvidCruiser at this time of the Silver Spirit.

Makes it more exciting, looking forward to experiencing it firsthand.

Just got a private email from Anita Dunham-Potter..both the Avid Cruiser and Anita are super troopers. Anita is coming through for all of us Spirit fans--like she offered on her Blog earlier in the week, she is answering Spirit questions (each suite will have IPOD docking stations, SS plans for online specialty restaurant rsvns..have also asked her about the length of the jogging track & size of the pool) encourage any Spirit fan who has a question

to send it to Anita (expertcruiser.com/blog)

 

Wonderful BTW news:

 

 

Anita, was among many major cruise media on board the new Seabourn Odyssey in June...here is what Anita just sent me in a private email:

 

From what I've seen -- when finished -- Spirit is a lot prettier and better planned than Seabourn Odyssey.

Best

Anita

Colonel,

 

Was Anita able to advise you as to when the Online Restaurant bookings system would start?

AvidCruiser is posting some great photos.....

[WesW]

Swindy, like your attention to detail..and that is the million dollar question...you

can also ask her that ? in her blog, and I will send her an email..she is up on her blackberry too...Ralph's pics are super too (am following both their tweets) already set as background on my laptop's browser, Ralphs first gorgeous pic of the Spirit.

Colonel,

 

I've filled in the online form asking when.

 

I, too, am following both posts which is thanks to you as I was not familiar with either until you posted about them. So thanks very much.

Colonel,

 

p.s. We have never sailed Regent and have no experience of their online restaurant reservations. Would you expect that we can book for ALL restaurants when the system is up and running. (I only mean one nights reservation in each of the restaurants)

 

Thanks

[WesW]

Swindy, yes, that is the system used by Regent (we were on the Voyager last

November and had booked one night in Signatures and one night in the former

asian restaurant, Latitudes (now Prime 7) before boarding...Regent's system is

open 30 days prior to boarding. Would expect as a principle of timing &equality, that SS

will follow a similar online system (e.g. 30 days out will open for reservations using

the My Vogage link) and giving all SS cruisers the opportunity to make one

reservation per speciality restaurant per cruise.

 

However, there are cancellations when you are on board, we have found if you

check with Maitre D on a recurring basis, you can get another reservation in

Regent's Specialty restaurant (s).

[swindy]

Colonel,

 

Thanks, I appreciate the information.

She also addressed the issue from a question I asked months back as to whether or not the suites had two TVs and if one was behind glass. One of her tweets said that is the case.

Here is more detail on the Spirit's build progress from the Avid Cruiser:

Absolutely hope the Shipyard & SS can complete the last 35% of Spirit's needed build

in the next 3 1/2 months.

 

However, kudos to the Silversea leadership team for inviting two major

cruise media on board during the sea trials.

Looks like she'll be a beautiful ship.
