Also, Mr. Hum, be grateful we cannot sneak into the UK these days. If we were able to drive to Surrey we would be moving into your wine cellar for the duration...🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner is a great cook too. Hum believes SD has a “war chest” (developed over many years of full bookings and not spending a dime !) to see this period out and seem to be taken appropriate measures too. Naturally they will “keep matters close to their chest” and will be putting on a positive spin. What else can they do ? Keep calm, keep safe and carry on.

Be socially responsible in light of a pandemic and cancel the remaining Caribbean season on Seadream 1. THAT'S what they can do. Ports are closing by the day. States of emergency in my state and the surrounding states. We are being told to stay home and avoid gatherings more than 10 people. This is serious folks. It's not business as usual. Mom and I are scheduled to sail April 11 on SD1. I'll be damned if I'm officially cancelling but I won't be there. I'm waiting for them to cancel and offer us options. I'll be out money either way. I've been loyal to Seadream for 5 years, sometimes sailing twice in one year. But this situation is a real tipping point and is what determines who deserves my loyalty. So far Seadream is failing and I'm sad to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrapperZimmy Posted March 17, 2020 #881 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Thanks for the shout out, Ho-Hum. Zimmy and I were happy to see you and Blondie on board during our January cruise. And good to see you back here, too. Things were getting pretty dull. It is pretty sad when Jim and I were responsible for keeping up the chatter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrulyBlonde Posted March 17, 2020 #882 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Welcome back, Hum. I am sending love by social distancing from afar. 5 pm coming soon here in Aspen and the wine is chilled, the sun is out, and good thing I like to cook. xo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Jim are the true stalwarts of the SD section of CC and your kind advice has always been “spot on” and friendly (both of you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far Seadream is failing and I'm sad to see that. All great points Maria......as to be expected (only bettered by your champagne knowledge...if Hum may be so frivolous at these terrible times). Our expectations of standards by Sea Dream and ALL other companies is likely to have to be revised and maybe “loosened a little” as they struggle through these economically devastating times. We are booked on the same voyage and we were booked for next week on SD2 so Blondie and Hum are “out of pocket” too. And of course, your deep affection and concern for the crews is front and centre of your concern as is everyone elses. Hum expects to have news of bookings in two weeks time (Hum consults the crystal ball regularly). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the people in Rome singing from their balconies ? The human spirit will always endure. Hum was inspired to follow and sang a Puccini piece only to cause a mass stampede of sheep in the farmer’s field ! Chou xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
