SS/RCCL Finances: Improving, Options, Questions??!!
highplanesdrifters replied to TLCOhio's topic in Silversea
Cans in the backyard, brilliant. I've been putting my spare change into those Crypto machines at the Grocery store. Blue vs. Red = Cocktails on the Veranda.๐ Interesting note - CC would not let me post the above post until I made an edit. I figured it was Blue vs. Red. Alas no, I mentioned a Crypto coin by name. -
Good to know, thanks for your opinion.

I think you hit the nail on the head and explained the current situation perfectly. Add in: Along with new cruisers there are also the upgraders. Will folks find the upgrade from Oceania, Viking, etc. worth it? Lots of folks trying expedition, will all the new ships get supported? Will the excessive marketing to a younger demographic work? Enough with all the influencers on board! Although we currently have 4 expeditions booked I'm actively looking for alternatives.

Anchorage To Seward Train - Seating Arrangements?
highplanesdrifters replied to Robroy's topic in Silversea
I'm a non-efficent antique. -
Quite accurate. The cruise lines play with inventory all the time. Holdbacks are common. A ship shows waitlisted, and then poof plenty of cabins available. Or the opposite.

What a fascinating report. Thanks! Sounds like Greg got the tide charts in the wrong language. That ghostly Romanesque building, wow. @Fletcher. Off topic, did you ever take that trip on Aranui 5? Asking for a friend. -
It's a Blood Sport because the prizes are so big.

Thanks for the shot out. I'm now using your excellent blog to help plan our return to the area in September. ๐ We had some small problems on SS Explorer in regards to communication and excursion planning. Nothing like you have experienced. Except for Heli rides all third party excursions were included, even a flight over the Bungle Bungles. Shame on Seabourn! They are already having trouble filling the ships. We are branching out and exploring other luxury expedition lines. Indonesia - we're looking at 2026, 2025 is already booked for us. ๐ I like the Seabourn Itinary that does north PNG and Raja Ampat. FYI, Ponant has some pretty nice itineraries. And then there is Paspaley by Ponant. Waiting for everyone to drop 2026 plans. Back to your regularly scheduled excellent programming. Good luck in Honaria.

Some people have second and third homes. Others dont want the hassle and choose the sea. ๐ Thanks for the report! -
SS/RCCL Finances: Improving, Options, Questions??!!
highplanesdrifters replied to TLCOhio's topic in Silversea
Hmmmm, still a little frothy out there. Speaking of shoes, I keep expecting one to drop. Inflation, a plethora of geopolitical risks, etc., etc, etc, and yet here we are. A parabolic market and all we get is a 5% correction. I would have though the Stimmie money should have worked it's way through the system. Perhaps not. Can the Boomer spending and kid gifting be adding more than I thought? Range trade through the summer and cocktails on the veranda! -
I also said no to the rediculous options.

Very interesting, thanks. Although I dont think I'd worry about ironing my clothes if I didn't have power. Or even if I did have power.๐ -

highplanesdrifters replied to Silver Spectre's topic in Silversea
I'm with you. Not just Fevertree but all the Artisanal Tonics that are finally showing up in the U.S. We just had Marula Tonic in South Africa, oh yum. What a G&T that made. Don't think its on anyone's import list. ๐ช -

We will be there next year. Was the skywalk a bust because of the weather, or did that even matter? ๐Thanks. Temple looks awesome. -

Was it knowing that "salties" now referred to both crocks and hippos? ๐ -
Seabourn Quest - Onboard Credit Complaint

I believe the poster said "temporary hold". Not a charge. Very common in the hotel industry. -

highplanesdrifters replied to TLCOhio's topic in Silversea
I wholeheartedly agree! On a recent stop in Namibia we saw dozens of camels saddled and lined up for rides in the desert. Not nearly as majestic as elephants, but same concept. No thanks. -
