  1. Trying to decide what to do in the following ports, any suggestions CC intelligentsia? We like to avoid the busses and enjoy off the beaten path. CORFU SAMI PYLOS CRETE SANTORINI
  2. More questions! Also trying to decide what to do in the following ports, any suggestions CC intelligentsia? CORFU SAMI PYLOS CRETE SANTORINI
  3. Terry - you are always so generous with time and advice. Thank you. Posted on your original thread. Will pop back over there for this topic. In the meantime, Fed day. Quarter point? And...... Although I dont read all the threads on SS and Seabourn it seems like there are a lot more newbies than in the past. And said newbies seem to be upgrading from other lines. Do you think this might be correct? If so I wonder if this is an across the board upgrade happening.
  4. Thanks for all the great intel. Will be contacting them shortly. Will also see if they can do shorter tours at places like Nafplio. Not a fan of the ships bus tours. 😉
  5. We will be booking something for this area. Contacting George's taxi. 😉 Care to comment on your experience. Thanks much!
  6. Might I hijack? Terry, I believe you recommended a great driver/company for tours, airport transfers, etc. In Athens/Greece. Would you be so kind as to pass that along again? Many thanks.
  7. Well said! It begs the question: If the rules are not being followed, what can the other guests do about it, other than complain to management which does nothing?
  8. @taxatty. Thank you so very much for the report. Montgomery Reef does look impressive. I'm glad you were able to experience it. Sorry we missed the show. I wonder if SS has stopped using the Horizontal Falls guide permanently given the major accident they had last year. If so, I hope they stop advertising this excursion.
  9. Just had to share this one for all the birdlovers out there. 20230719_185013.mp4 Hummingbird party on Agave bloom. Well maybe not a party, more like a territorial dispute. 😁
  10. Inverted yield curve from investopedia, easy peasy: In finance, an inverted yield curve is a yield curve in which short-term debt instruments (typically bonds) have a greater yield than longer term bonds. An inverted yield curve is an unusual phenomenon; bonds with shorter maturities generally provide lower yields than longer term bonds.
  11. Those are not fair winds. Hope they dissipate. In the meantime grab your bathrobe and head to the Arts Cafe. 😁
  12. Have you ever thought of hosting a late night show? You are really cracking me up today.😂
  13. Where are you, and where are you headed?😃
  14. Come for the information and tips, stay for the entertainment. OR, dont come and complain at all. 😂
  15. Tough re-entry. Glad you're home safe. Love the trip report.
  16. Broome - There is always the camel rides on the beach. Not sure if this has been covered in this thread. For me it was firmly in the "who knew" camp. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20180410-the-strange-story-of-australias-wild-camel
  17. @calm down dear. Excellent analysis, I concur. I especially dislike the Atlantide venue due to the low ceilings, dark and cramped feel. The packed bus tours also turn me off. For traditional Ocean voyages I have found that the pricing between SS & SB is dramatically different, in some cases 30-50%. Expedition voyages are a completely different story for another time.
  18. Well kids, what next? Nice Short covering rally today into tomorrow's CPI. Set up for a blast up??
  19. There was a gentleman who had a Penguin onesie on our trip.
  20. The Azipods are crazy cool. I thought our Captian was going to try a wheelie. 😀
