@Redking Hoping you'll come back and give us your final thoughts on Scenic.

Looking forward to reading all about your trip. You've certainly earned it with that huge reno project!

I read it the same way. Also, my understanding is status with one line doesn't advance you on the others. So SS is calling it "status match" but I don't see any benefit.

I'm glad you got your back chocolates 😋 I have to say a Panama Canal cruise has always been on my list -- but pretty low priority; this thread is letting me know I need to move it up a bit! Thanks to all who have shared photos and videos; they are all greatly appreciated.

I am always impressed by those who can do a live thread. When I'm onboard I am busy taking in the ports, the ship (or a good afternoon nap), I don't know how people make the time to live post. Your posts are appreciated and, of course, it should be secondary to enjoying yourself. 😀

Love your positive attitude -- on all things! 😀

I am always very impressed by the effort you put into making name tags. I'm sorry you didn't get a bigger turn out from your roll call. Wishing you better luck on the next Blackjack Tournament 🤞🤞

What a sad story (and pretty much my worst nightmare.) Maybe they will find the wayward passport tucked into a random slot in a bag. I sure hope so.

See the thread below.

Thanks for this lovely trip blog. I hope you'll bring us along for your September cruise. 😀

@jollyjones You've certainly given us a great teaser! Looking forward to your adventure onboard.

Looking forward to learning all about your trip. I hope you have a good flight.

For the distilled water I email: specialservices@silversea.com You may not get a response but the water should be in your room when you arrive; if not, just ask your butler and it will be provided quickly. As for baggage tags: I believe final info is emailed about 15 days before the cruise but I've never checked if baggage tags are included. I get them at the pier or from from the SS rep for the transfer.

I did a simple google search and found this....

LOL I've rationed books too: Delayed starts or forcing myself not to sit up all night to finish a good thing. I'll have to explore that Gideon Oliver series. Thanks.

I've read all the Harry Bosch stuff. If you like that you may enjoy books by Tana French -- all her books are set in Ireland. I've most enjoyed her first three: In the Woods, The Likeness and Faithful Place. While the books are listed as a series each stands on it's own; generally, a secondary character from one book become the focus of the next book.

Phew! I've found this while you're still on page one! 😜 Looking forward to following your adventure. Enjoy!

Stunning photos! A safari has always been on my list; looks like I'll need to take a break from cruising to make this happen sooner.

Food looks wonderful; and such a great variety. 😋

Bon Voyage ! You had a long journey getting there, so glad you're finally sailing 😃

I can't say for Muse; however, I was on the Dawn just a couple weeks ago and the menus were also very limited. It was disappointing.

It depends on the cruise. If there are not many "in transit" SS won't bother offering a tour. This happened to me in Athens last year. I had a private tour arranged (which I could have cancelled) so went with that once SS confirmed they weren't offering anything -- which didn't happen until mid-point of the first cruise.

@BBGrace273 Rereading your post it occurs to me, you may have been trying to find Lois's live from thread not just Catlover54's review; therefore, I have am posting that link below. I hope this helps.

@Lois R was simply trying to tell you where to find the link -- it's the first post, on the first page of this thread. I've posted it below for you. https://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=708560

Silversea stopped offering that 10% discount two years ago.
