Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Hope that was a typo πŸ˜‚ MV Seabourn Quest is a luxury cruise ship in Seabourn Cruise Line. It was constructed by Italian shipbuilder T. Mariotti. The vessel entered service in June 2011.
  2. When we boarded Ovation we asked Destination Services for more details, we were told, half and hour drive, the pictures of the horse carriage did not look comfortable and held too many people, there would be 30 minutes in the woods looking for truffles and then back to the farmhouse for lunch and shopping. It did not sound at all as good as the description on the website. We gave it some thought and decided to cancel. If we go again we will look into a private tour, we too thought it would be a much smaller sized group.
  3. Taken from our balcony on Seabourn Ovation just now. The Ritz Carlton ship looks very nice, it will be interesting to hear more about her.
  4. I love the sound of that team!! Hope they will still be on in October!!!!
  5. It departs at 9.30am so it will be an early lunch but not too bad. I would not have booked it if it was any earlier than that, I hate early morning starts!
  6. We should be ok, we go in October πŸ‘ The marzuolo (spring truffle) can be found between January and April; the summer black truffle (or scorzone) between June and November; and the prized white truffle from late September to December.
  7. The above is a shore excursion on our upcoming Ovation cruise, we don't do shore excursions but this one sounds fabulous! Has anyone done this with Seabourn?? if so can you recommend? The truffle is one of the finest, tastiest and most expensive culinary condiments. It adds a wonderful flavor to any savory dish -- an automatic upgrade from delicious to outrageous. Take part in hunting for truffles today with some very enthusiastic canine assistance, learning how and why Tuscany stakes its claim as Italy's foremost region for truffle production. A panoramic drive brings you to a truffle farm. Ride by horse and carriage into the woods of Tuscany; then, begin your search for truffles in the company of a truffle-hunting dog. The dog hurries through the forest, sniffing about and digging for this edible treasure. With newly-found truffles in hand, you will head back to the farmhouse for a delightful organic lunch. Farmers Davide and Francesca have lovingly crafted tagliolini pasta, with eggs from the farmyard chickens and lavished with shavings of truffle. Your simple gourmet meal is paired with three different Tuscan wines, including the sweet Vin Santo wine for dessert with tasty Cantuccini (biscotti).
  8. We have had in suite dining many times, we love to eat on our balcony. We ask for course by course and request our wine of choice we have never been disappointed. Go for it, it is special!
