In our cabin and what a treat it is. We are in a mini suite above the bridge with a ginormous balcony. I just hope that today isn’t the only time we can enjoy it. A lot of rain is forecast. Happy we have the drink package!  

 

 

 

 

Gorgeous day for a cruise.

We are in the cabin right next door - please share as much info as you can about being in one of the forward facing balconies. I'd like to know if there are any times you cannot use it during the cruise. We want to do the ultimate balcony dinner and we're looking at Wednesday around an hour before sailing? Enjoy every minute of that HUGE balcony!!!

The little gold bag is no more. This is what we received. Good thing I have a large supply of chapstick.

Wow what a balcony! I’m praying the weather won’t be as rainy as they’re predicting so you get to use it a lot! I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m thinking this live thread might be the most fun to follow yet! Loving all the pics 

Can’t wait to be there Sept 5 😃

No need - just check the deck plan and it's obvious which cabin it is.

 

Got it! I was looking at suites and not mini so I confused myself 

[PescadoAmarillo]

Embarkation day salmon was as good as ever. I’m now in the laundry room so I thought I’d check out tonight’s menu and order a drink while I wait for my clothes to dry. No luck on either count, and it appears the White Screen of Death is on board also.

Thanks so much for doing this! One tiny thing if you would check for me - Sur La Mer breakfast/brunch menu. I see it is open for those meals but have seen nothing about the menus for those times. I hope you have a wonderful cruise and please do check in and let us know how it is going! 

I just asked and they are not open for breakfast/ brunch.

Have a fantastic and safe cruise!

If anyone has The Enclave at Lotus Spa 7-Day Pass, I would be interested how many people they allow in the Thermal Suite/Enclave during one reservation period, mask wearing policy while using it and whether the two hours per day can be broken into smaller segments for a given day. Thanks in advance.

 

We aren’t doing the enclave but I did ask. 
 

The cost for a week is $179 PP. 

 

10 are allowed at a time and masks are required. 
 

You can go multiple times a day.

I visited the Captain's Circle Hostess to drop off invitations for the officers to our Meet & Greet (tomorrow at 10 am -11am at the Hollywood Conservatory).

 

While I was chatting with her I asked if she had the cutoff yet for the MTP event and she said it was 455 days.  We are nowhere near that mark but I am fairly certain some among us will be able to share more details about it.

I did a quick video too and will add that when we return home.  There are 2 rooms so it’s more like a suite than a mini suite. L

Sitting on ginormous balcony awaiting sailaway. And DH’s suitcase. Mine arrived two hours ago and his has yet to make an appearance. 
 

I know folks on the last cruise mentioned issues with the mini bar but ours was here when we first got in the room. Except it was different. They have no scotch or whiskey in the small bottles so they gave us 4 Courvosiers. Instead of 2 small water bottles we got one big one. And instead of 2 Perrier we got a large Pellegrino. Rest was the same.  Trying to figure what are swap will be but will deal with that tomorrow.

Did you already drink the diet cokes?

[PescadoAmarillo]

Most Traveled Guest luncheon will be the last sea day in Harmony with no officers at the tables. We are #4 with 1230 days; the top 3 are about 3000, 2000 and 1400 days.  Captains Circle parties are Glacier Bay evening. PES Lounge is daily from 4:30pm to 6:30pm in the Hollywood Conservatory, which, thankfully, has not been made into a Sanctuary.

Thank you all so much for allowing us to "cruise" with you! 

azbirdmom, did you already have the names of all the officers?  We are planning a M&G for the 9/26 cruise.

Oops…made a typo & mixed up my seas ☺️…it’s not Silversea but Regent Seven Seas that is part of the NCL Group.
 

Silversea is part of the Royal Caribbean Group.

 

No problem.  It's all good

No Officers at the tables? Can we invite the Singers and Dancers? 

Enjoy your cruise, we'll be there on the 12th of September.

Did you see anyone bring on their own canned drinks.  What’s happening about that??  Can you still give it to the porter to bring up with your luggage ??

I’m happy to see that the embarkation luncheon menu looks the same. Some of my favorite things to order are on that menu.

There weren’t any. What you see is what we got.

Yes someone on the first cruise was kind enough to post a picture of the wall with faces and names.

I am so jealous but please keep the updates coming.... to us back here in Phoenix where it's 107 degrees!!

[PescadoAmarillo]

The PES Lounge in the Hollywood Conservatory was fantastic. One of our favorite bar waiters, Eugene from Ukraine is working up there. HGM Jasper stopped by and explained that the officers will be at the MTG for meet and greet only, but can’t DINE with guests right now. 
 

First night dinner menu…I’m choosing the prawns and the cod, with a glass of Sauvignon blanc. It’s all good.
