We're looking for 2-3 guests/couples who are recent empty nesters (in the last 5 years), and who’ve sailed on Seabourn more than once. If you fit this bill & are interested in speaking with the magazine, please send us your contact info to community@seabourn.com. We’re looking for guests by the end of this week. Thank you!"

merryecho Posted July 6, 2011 #602 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Nancy- I just ordered this suitcase- a friend has it and says she is tired of people stopping her and asking where to get it. http://www.zuca.com/zuca_pro/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alita Posted July 18, 2011 #603 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I swear by eBags 'Mother Lode' line... they come in 21", 25" & 29'' and are virtually indestructible. They hold an amazing amount of 'stuff' yet are light enough to be maneuvered around tight spaces. I haven't tried the 29" as it looks so big but I'm on my second set of 21 and 25 inch bags. Lola... wanted to respond to your message but the thread was locked by the time I got back to it. The monsoons are patchy this year but when they do hit they're fiercer than I can ever remember them being! lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got back from Urgent Care..several stitches and much scrubbing. He swears that it all happened in a bar fight..yup..at 81 young years. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joysav Posted July 19, 2011 #605 Share Posted July 19, 2011 . Hi You could have a look at Antler. Antler BagWorld Australia I did a fair bit of research mainly through the Flight / Aviation Forums before purchasing Antler as our other set of luggage had been around the World 20 times and was time to retire them. Ended up with Antler Aeon Air Cabin Wheel Duffle Antler Aeon Air Flight Bag with sleeve to fit over duffle handle Antler Aeon Air Luggage 53cm x 2 Antler Aeon Air Luggage 66cm x 1 The 53 cm will fit inside the 66 cm The Antler Aeon Air Luggage 73cm is a bit big and could be problematic on some flights if you are not Business Class or above In what I would regard an extreme case ( like a long boat trip ) the above combination can still be towed around by 2 persons. :o .

alita Posted July 20, 2011 #606 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Lola... I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's 'monsoon misadventure' and hope he is recuperating nicely. We got slammed too but thank heavens I had all the doors bolted and computers disconnected! Have you been on the Pride recently? I'm on the September 3 Baltic cruise and as I haven't been on the ship for 7 years am wondering if she has been kept tidy and ship-shape... don't mind at all that she's no longer young, neither am I!;) lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL4ME Posted July 26, 2011 #619 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Jane, do you or any other traveler have a recommendation on luggage...one that is very lightweight. We have had our Hartmans so long and we need to replace the large one that is wonderful but is too big and weighs too much. Does anyone have a recommendation? I have some of Rick Steves that I have had for 10 years and still using but my husband needs a lighter weight and not so bigIIII I just love my TUMI....love it!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that prices should be higher so that the standards do not slip,but over capacity is going to be the real test and not just for Seabourn,Silversea are also giving their cruises away at present. Oceania is in a good position now as they are just below the luxury level but with good new ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
