Jim Avery Posted February 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Are there no recent SD sailors on Cruise Critic? We have heard nothing from recent cruisers in quite a while. No engine updates for SDI? Almost no one has reviewed the Asia cruises. I guess CC ers don't sail on SD anymore?:eek::D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeignetBoy Posted February 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2014 No Jim.. some of us are still here. We are looking forward to the San Juan to London trip in April and have been assured that engine fix will be done by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickandpat Posted February 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Well, we just got our e-documents today for our March 20th cruise out of Barbados. We're really excited! Any other divers or bicyclists out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted February 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2014 We are still around, but nothing booked right now. Next trip is Alaska on Silverseas. Don't know when we will go back to SD, too many issues and too much misinformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not sail SD in AK even if they chose to sail there. :eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatnot Posted February 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Great choice zqvol! Kenai was possibly my favorite place in Alaska. The fjords there were spectacular! Looking forward to what you think of Silver Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Danneskjold Posted February 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Its been quiet here because ol' Ragnar has been very busy doing non-vacation stuff since our SB Odyssey trip to Greece and Turkey way back in the spring of 2012. However, ol' Ragnar is now retired, at the ripe old age of 58, and he and the missus are ready to bother the world again :) Luckily for our fellow cruisers we are doing a land trip next, to Italy in Apr/May. Once the CC board's search function is working again we intend to mine the SD board resources for hotel suggestions. And perhaps asking for new recommendations. But beware, we've been hankering for a SD caribbean cruise..... Edited February 17, 2014 by Ragnar Danneskjold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatnot Posted February 18, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I just wrote down your suggestion. Going to Tuscany again (never tire of it) is on our to do list for 2015! Hope you are surviving the bad winter in the midwest. No SD in the Caribbean this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaskelly Posted February 21, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2014 La Suvera in Tuscany - divine 11th century palazzo... We have booked SDII in Sept 2015 for a back to back out of Rome.:D We have also booked L'Austral (Compagnie de Ponant) sailing from Cairns to Sydney leaving 27 Dec 2014. NYE again at sea....and close to home here as it ends up at home. That's all we can fit in over the next two years.... Shaskelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatnot Posted February 26, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Since things are so quiet on this board, just had to add something! Shaskelly are you doing the September 19, 2015 Rome to Rome? We are thinking about that one. Maybe do a land week in Tuscany before the cruise. But I will wait to book when we are on board in August. Maybe we will get to meet!

Rare knotheadusc Posted February 26, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I had a dream that I was on a SeaDream cruise this morning. It was so real that it took me a few minutes to determine if I had actually been on the ship. I was thinking I needed to write a review on Cruise Critic. Obviously, I came to my senses. Too bad.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaskelly Posted February 26, 2014 #17 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hey Whatnot - that would be cool if we met on board in the Mediterranean next year! We are planning some time in London before our cruise next year - we went to London for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and had a great time, so we are planning to be in London around 9 September 2015 when She becomes the longest reigning English monarch ever... we think there might be some celebrations and we want to be at the party! Maybe a few days in Paris on the way to Rome as well. We've been given a hotel recommendation by some Aussie SeaDreamers for a hotel to stay at near the cruise port and also near enough to Rome to sightsee. It's called Posta Vecchia and it looks great online, and our friends reckon its fabbo. Anyone on here ever stayed there? Shashkelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to remember to post some thoughts after we stay there but a gentle reminder around Oct. 1 would certainly be in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
