MK - Thanks for that great report, very helpful. So pleased your trip went well, and you got to Kayak. Not always so easy. Excited for your Arctic cruise, I could go there every year. You had me at Indian chef. We usually ask to have a special meal prepared. Glad the Sushi is holding up. Such a nice break from the Restaurant. Are they still doing Earth and Ocean nights in the Collonade? And was Brent on your trip? He's such a hoot.
Just had dinner with friends last night who are on the reposition to Santiago. I've already warned them about the charter and included wines. Will give them a heads up about the white burgundy and the Austrian. Very helpful. I find the Chilean wines they serve give me a headache, too many sulfites? When we find something decent on the included list we take a picture to show staff the next time. Too bad the sommelier wasn't up to snuff.
We had that same Owners suite on our trip, and yes dark. Surprisingly we had fabulous weather in the Arctic and used the amazing balcony quite a bit. Even coming back from dinner and laying under the stars with a few blankets when we were in the ice pack, crazy. Our next trips are on Venture and Pursuit, Norway and Guam to Santiago. All the bigger suites were taken so we're trying a Panorama. But we finally scored a SS in the back for a Baffin Bay trip.
We leave in a few weeks on Silversea Cloud, our second trip to Antarctica followed by Cape to Cape. Cloud is a little long in the tooth, but great itinary. Please share a few more of your Antarctica highlights so I can get excited.
Fair winds!
