I have been snooping at your Viking board and your posts. You and your wife can be called Lewis and Clark if you make it. Last weekend I had to go out of town. United was not going to let us on return flight to Aspen because apparently I had not received or completed some virus info that our county required. The nice agent downloaded it for me and we had to complete it at the check in counter. Nice agent vs a mean one. I can only imagine what you may experience getting to Bermuda or getting home 😉 Safe travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Grumpy seriously needs a stress free break……….…he has really lost his “joie de vivre” (so judgemental these days and what a “kill joy”: as you Americans say “lighten up dude”). Hum hopes all goes “swimmingly” for him (and his wonderful lady) and he returns rejuvenated. Fingers crossed though (just in case). Great to hear from you TrulyBlonde. Hum’s sure your interpersonal skills “saved the day”……..Raggy less so (zero in fact). Hope you’re well. Edited June 5, 2021 by ho-hum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Avery Posted June 5, 2021 #1103 Share Posted June 5, 2021 We all hope Raggy and Carol have a grand trip. If anyone can figure out arcane bureaucracy our Ragnar can. Engineers just think differently... I just hope the onboard experience is up to speed. The ship is beautiful and comfortable and rumor has it that they are reduced capacity by about half so all should be good. 🍸 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COCOYOTE Posted June 5, 2021 #1106 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Interesting all SeaDream 1 voyages have been pulled off of the SeaDream website until September 4th. Could SeaDream be doing another summer season of cruising in Norway? The yacht is stilled moored in Alesund as it has been since last December. Inquiring minds want to know. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do say Mr. Hum … friend and ally on the crossing. Makes sense. Why then the cancellation of SD1 until September - or perhaps the itineraries are being revamped to be reposted as soon as revised? What else could explain it if more revenue in the Med? Perhaps put SD1 in dry dock following the lengthy time for SD2 soon coming to an end in Lisbon? Seemed like lots of bookings for both ships so the demand is likely there to justify operating both of them. Crew issues with vaccines, etc.?

Jim Avery Posted June 6, 2021 #1115 Share Posted June 6, 2021 New engines??? Ok, just kidding. Probably new art work and curtains....🍸 I would love a real SD cruise and being anchored off Jost van Dyke this Fall/Winter. 😎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Hum hopes so. Was supposed to be sailing mid-June out of Venice (following three nights at the Cipriani) but this was cancelled, so we switched to a month later. Meanwhile Hum agrees with your Med assessment (vaccinations shouldn’t be an issue). Can’t wait to see the refurbished SDII………hope the smell of fresh paint and varnish has abated: really interferes with “nosing” a fine wine.

Had not thought about 2 months of totally revised itineraries for SeaDream 1 in the Med. The logistics of cancelled/new/replacement voyages seems daunting especially due to the timeframe involved. We are so looking forward to being back on board and catching up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum can’t recall which yacht he is on………which is a good thing…..for Sea Dream. For if passengers knew which yacht Hum was on, there would be an immediate spate of re-booking by passengers for the other yacht !!!! But, as Hum hopes you can testify, Hum onboard is almost un-recognisable. A veritable recluse and shy. Unfortunately his great Aussie chum is less so. In his defence, Hum would say, by the end of a voyage, he is also the most popular. Sea Dream passenger regulars are very special people who recognise very special environments (small ports) and very special people (crew). We are so close to the elements too (sea…obviously, sky, wind, rain, sun……..AIR, Hum loves the air, quiet cabins…..Hum refuses to call them Staterooms…too pretentious…….though Humis booked in the Owners Suite !…….yes Hum is a Phillistine). We are at home away from home. (Hum would like to thank Mons.Leoube, a Provençal rose, for this brilliant line). Hum raises a glass to the crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
