Silver Spectre

There were no daily temperature checks on the Moon recently unless you happen to quarantined in your suite with covid.

By its very definition Seedlip is not a spirit, it’s a distilled something, essence if you like. Calling it a spirit is just marketing nonsense. A spirit is by definition distilled alcohol.

That’s a wee bit brutal for a Monday afternoon.

On the Moon there is a smaller library in the Observation lounge on deck 11, I assume there is something similar on the Dawn.

Dr B can fill you full of Botox if you wish.

I must say I’m surprised that he hasn’t gone swimming 🦈

Nothing wrong with WC23 and the Shadow is in top top condition.

Becks and Heineken on the Moon last week. There are no non alcoholic spirits 🤣

Superb photos and videos @highplanesdrifters, thank you for sharing.

That’s so sad, what on earth did SS do to the ship when they had it expeditionised, surely these can’t be snagging issues?

Just to get back to the original reason for this thread. Things that were missing or had changed since our more recent voyage on this ship last year. There was no Prosecco and cold hand towel offered upon embarking, and this after a wait of almost 1.5 hours. The waiters carrying plates from the buffet in La Terrazza at breakfast and lunch has gone, I believe it was staffing related as it’s a new change and unlikely to be COVID related. The hot foie gras has been removed from the menu in La Dame, I couldn’t get an answer as to why and it’s still available in Atlantide. White Chocolate grappa is no longer available, and this is a choice not a supply issue. The crew to guest ratio on the longer segment was about .8 but for the fuller first segment it was .7. This is well down on pre pandemic. There were lots of pluses on what turned out to be a very enjoyable voyage, however prices have gone up, understandably so, but at the same time some of the things that helped to make it special are being chipped away.

Apparently a lady named Alicia, and I hear the smell is worse today.

Sorry to hear that. You are obviously being given the run around in the hope that you will eventually give up. BTW who is the HD.

Have you discussed this with the HD and requested that cigar man is detained in the connoisseurs corner.

Is he bearded and American?

Good for you. I emailed her last year about an ongoing issue and although I got a reply she was unwilling to do anything about it.

Looks like we will be eating and drinking more as our inbound flight just left and is 2 hours late.

We have tried but she only listens to multi WCers and guests with at least 1000 days.

Thanks Stumbles, in the Iberia Premium Lounge in Madrid and am overjoyed to find that they have something that the Moon ran out of a week ago, a Reuben sandwich that contains pastrami!

All done and on our way home.

Thirded, and I do not smoke.

I would echo what you said and add that the removal of the London office cruise consultants to offer incentives such as OBC is yet another backward step. I am struggling to understand what these people do anymore except buffer between an awful air department and the guests. They certainly don’t answer emails promptly anymore.

Perhaps the Cigar smoker is being tolerated as a way of reducing the sewage smell.

Lunch in Atlantide

Currently in Atlantide wearing flip flops 😉
