Me too! Headed into Vancouver on the 15th. Staying onboard for 14 days...2 shots at Glacier Bay. Have bear flight booked for Ketchikan, fingers crossed. Missy in Maryland

I order from Lands End. Have been very pleased. Catch them on a sale day!

With all the flights issues these days, I let my TA and Ss battle with the changes. My TA will give me the record locator number and I go to the airline's website and choose my seat. Usually I'm assigned United out of Dulles and I make sure to add the flight to my UAL frequent flyer profile. I also "garden" my flights which means I check them. Yes, obsessive but...it has saved me numerous headaches when aircraft changes, etc. For Med/ME cruise on Spirit in October 2023, I'm letting Ss and TA deal with that haul and I purchased the business upgrade. Dubai is a longggggg way. Missy in Maryland (who got a call 2 weeks ago switching from AA to UAL on return from Alaska) PS Once, when checking into Air France the day before a flight to Med cruise, I find flight canceled. Call to TA office, she deals with Ss, and we are re-routed via Delta. A good TA is a wonder!

Hi Lois, Silver Dawn Jan 29! Going with a friend who has never been on Ss...excited to introduce Ss to her. Headed out Sept 16 on Seabourn to Alaska. M

Mine don't have slits, they have long sheer panels that hang from the waist. Very similar to Palazzo pants and may be sold under that term too. Alex Evenings is one brand.

I use a sling bag. The bag part can go in front or in back. Vera Bradley makes several or you can look on Amazon. Ran all over Italy in one, all over Disney too.

I wear palazzo pants (what I call car wash pants because the panels flap around like in a car wash) with various tunics or jackets and a sparkly necklace for formal nights. Plain black pants with tops, tunics, sweaters for informal nights...the Travelers brand by Chico's is my go-to. And ballet flats...no more heels for me on ships! Enjoy! Missy in Maryland (waiting impatiently for her Dawn cruise in January)

Ever since I almost fell down the stairs on the QM2 when she pitched, I have gone to ballet flats. I brought so many heels and dresses on that cruise as we drove to the port in NY. Now flying to ports so trying to pack light. I also wear "carwash pants" for formal nights: stand with legs together and looks like long dress! So knee highs or no hose, depending on warmth needed.

Following along! Very interested as I board Sept 16 for the last 14 days of the Alaska season. Would love to know more about the zodiac tours...did you sign up online ahead of time like a regular excursion or are these separate? Thanks. Missy

Seabourn Odyssey has a decent solo special to Alaska in mid-September, 14 days (2 B2B 7 days really) with 2 days (I hope) in Glacier Bay. I was on the Shadow in Alaska in 2010 so looking forward to going back. If Ss had Glacier Bay permits, I would have done that but they don't. Any must do (or don't do) on Sb for those who have sailed Sb and Ss? Hints? I have 1 night at Thomas Keller Grill booked. Veranda guaranty room. Back on Ss Dawn in January 23 and Ss Spirit in October 23. My Ss Cloud experience in May was not great so hoping for better service next year. Missy in Maryland, recovering from mild Covid case because I stupidly went to a convention with no mask

Had my 2nd booster in April, caught Covid in early July. Moderate case but still a lingering cough. Perhaps all the vaccines helped me not be hospitalized but no proof.
