Emtbsam Posted July 15, 2015 #51 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Yes but I stick by my first choice of Silver Rinse, which I think many of the ladies would agree makes it feel much more homely and gets them back to their roots. :D Homely?? Don't you mean Comely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKCruiseJeff Posted July 15, 2015 #52 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Homely?? Don't you mean Comely? I am in favour of both. As long as women stop dyeing their hair purple or pink or green or whatever. And those funny highlights stuff that makes them look like a Monet haystack. Good Grief! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Echo Posted July 22, 2015 #56 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Referring back to the original thread, on the pros and cons of sailing on a maiden voyage, it was nice to hear from you Victoria and we would love to sail with you two again. Thinking outside the box, the ship is debuting in April 2017, presumably therefore sailing from Civitavecchia. It is roughly around the time for TA's, so it is feasible this could well be her itinerary. The potential risk of "snagging" however remains, which could be disruptive - think of the boutiques renewal whilst sailing! As you know, despite the amount of years spent cruising, like you, surprisingly we still have so many places to visit left on our bucket list, and would not consider booking "blind" as the itinerary is usually the main criteria for us when deciding on which cruise next. Don't know whether we told you or not, we are finally doing the Amazon -(any tips gratefully received), in November and I understand that the itineraries will be available by then. As the fare will now be totally all inclusive with shorexes and Wi-Fi, any savings will be gratefully received - assuming they will give 5% discount for onboard booking?! So we will sit on the fence for the time being!! Hope you both ok, and regards to Bob Master Echo (Jo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmfabian Posted July 23, 2015 #57 Share Posted July 23, 2015 OK, OK. I know you are all waiting for me to join. I am in! Just talked to my TA and I will be attempting to join the Maiden Cruise of the Silversea Muse. I had the pleasure of cruising with many of you on the Spirit's Atlantic Crossing in November of 2013. It was the best cruise of our lives. I don't want to bring anyone down, but my husband, Alan, passed away the following May of pancreatic cancer. I am holding my chin up and trying to carry on the cruising tradition. I would love to see you all again. I am doing my first (of hopefully many) solo cruise on the Spirit on August 19th out of Istanbul. Let me know what the group is doing between now and the Muse debut and I will be there with bells on. Probably other clothes too, but lots of bells..... Willa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted July 23, 2015 #58 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Willa, my condolences. Look forward to meeting you. Sail on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinPashmina Posted July 24, 2015 #59 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I so admire your bravery, and am very sorry for your loss. We'll look forward to meeting you. In my experience SS sailors seem to make special efforts to look out for eachother. The Muse Inaugural will be filled up with enthusiastic regulars, and I bet you'll recognize a lot of us. We were on the Spirit's Inaugural too, and on the pre inaugural from Barcelona to Lisbon..roughest segment we've ever been on. We found out, first hand how well the Spirit handles big seas and heavy winds. Let's hope we'll have a much smoother crossing, but, no matter what, it'll be great fun!

wmfabian Posted July 25, 2015 #60 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thank you Duct Tape and CruisinPashmina for your good wishes. I was impressed by how Silversea handled singles cruisers before, even though I didn't think I would need to avail myself of those services. I experienced everyone having a great time regardless of couple status and so as I look to try vacationing on my own, Silversea seemed a natural choice. I appreciate your support and look forward to meeting you soon! Willa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emtbsam Posted July 25, 2015 #61 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Willa -my condolences as well. I know what it is like to lose a spouse. I believe we met on the TA in 2013. In any event, we look forward to seeing you on the Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WesW Posted July 26, 2015 #62 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Double tapping here--posted this information on the Muse Maiden Roll call but wanted also to post in this Muse News thread. Thanks to Spinnaker2/Candy & Larry's sharp eye's (today, Candy mentioned to me that she thought they cut the steel for the Muse--indicating that the Muse build process is beginning). Searched the Muse Maiden news and found TravelPulse had the most complete news story on the Muse Steel Cutting.

Josette03 Posted July 26, 2015 #63 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Looks like the Muse is going to be the first of three new ships. http://www.seatrade-cruise.com/news/news-headlines/silver-muse-first-of-three-newbuilds-silversea-chairman-says.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duct tape Posted July 27, 2015 #65 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Yup! Scares me, but...evidently Manfredi wants to save the Cloud and Wind for charters. We can only hope. Delusions of grandeur do not sit well with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brimary Posted July 27, 2015 #66 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Enjoyed so many wonderful cruises on our favourite Cloud & Wind since they were born in mid 90's.Perhaps we should retire from SS when they are retired from the SS fleet as we really don't like the trend towards large ships although the economics of the decisions are understood in the competitive cruising world today.Anyone know the dates for the small ships demise?

Rare Silver Spectre Posted July 27, 2015 #68 Share Posted July 27, 2015 And...it FEELS like we are going to lose The Cloud and The Wind. Any one else feel uneasy? And sad? Not really, I appreciate that there are many out there with fond memories of the Cloud in her pomp, but she is becoming increasing costly to maintain. And lets be honest, she is not being maintained properly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellseasoned Posted July 27, 2015 #69 Share Posted July 27, 2015 One of those websites also mentioned that Slversea is moving its U.S. headquarters to Miami. Does this mean that the cruises will also dock there rather than FLL ? I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted July 27, 2015 #70 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I am worried about that too. I couldn't dislike Miami airport any more than I already do! I do not believe the Cloud will be sold. Reliable resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare WesW Posted July 27, 2015 #72 Share Posted July 27, 2015 We mostly loved (best itinerary) our 18 days on the Cloud two years ago (London to London). Speaking of the Silver Muse, have found in the past that sometimes the shipyard that builds the ship (in the Muse case, Fincantieri) often produces detailed press releases--fyi: https://www.fincantieri.it/cms/data/browse/news/000668.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that the cruises will also dock there rather than FLL ? I hope not. Not sure that any specific reason has been given for the change, but a number of the long serving FLL office staff will not be moving because of the bad commute.

Rare WesW Posted July 27, 2015 #75 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Mr. Silver, pls see link below for SS's press release announcing the Miami move last Thursday. Key words: "Miami is recognized in the cruise industry as being the 'cruise capital' of the world. So we're pleased to have found a building in the heart of the city that reflects the best of our brand and is able to meet our current and future expansion needs. Of course, as a LEED Gold-certified sustainable office building, our new location will provide a healthy, productive and beautiful work environment for our employees in what has become a truly vibrant, world-class city." http://www.silversea.com/media/press-releases/silversea-cruises-americas-office-is-relocating-to-miami/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
