Where is everyone seeing the information?

Right on about the reliability part.  I have been in the maritime industry most of my adult life and I cannot find any evidence in any of the trade pubs of any ship being built for SD.  The data bases go out to 2027 or more and show all types of passenger vessels for Crystal, Seabourn, Ritz Carlton, Scenic, Viking Oceans 2 new expedition ships (2020 and 2021 delivery) but no site I am familiar says anything about SD either pending contract or executed contract.  Yard space is at a premium so even if a new ship is in the offing, I would not expect it anytime soon.  That is unless they have bought an existing ship and are refurbishing it.  I guess we shall see on the 20th.🍸

Can't believe you're not 100% "in the know" on this one!!!

Any CC buddies on board with us? Gantt and Ted from ATL. Looks like a good one.

I've talked my best buddy, her childhood friend and friend's mom into joining.

Should be fun!

Ted and Gantt from ATL boarding a week from Saturday in Dubrovnik. Any buddies joining? Looking forward to a great voyage!

I just read where the 17th was canceled. Poor folks. Ugh

It was a great trip!

Ted and Gantt from Atlanta on board. Rumor there is a group on board? That might prove interesting. Last that happened with us it certainly changed the on board dynamics. We will be ready for SD relaxin' after a few nights in Jordan (yep, we're going!)

Actually...corrected...that's with onboard open booking credit of 10%.....real price $13,574. I think their Med cruises are very closely priced.

Hum:

Just one other little thingy....since SD just nudged me to pay up for my May trip (brother, can you spare a dime?).

Remember - SD Europe is more than SD Caribbean. May trip $11,774.20 for Deck 3.

Suspect getting provisions to/from SEZ t'aint cheap.

That's all!

Hum, My love...

I do stand SLIGHTLY corrected.....If we were to book Deck 3 on SD on 1/21/17 sailing, it would be $400 less than our 1/2/16 trip..($8782 total)...so that does make the difference more that I originally laid out. You know, I actually like Deck 2 and the portholes on SD...The other Mr. C, not so much. If available, we always do Deck 3.

Again...for whatever it's worth!

My dearest Hum:

In USD, the difference isn't 50%...at least not if you upgrade. We always try to do Deck 3 on SD...that adds a cool $1000 USD per person (to me...too much, but we still do it, so the bean counters have it right!) . My tentative booking on CE the difference to be one deck up was minimal.

Here is my comparison:

SD 1/02/16 RT SJU (WITH YOU!!) - $9182.00 - Cabin 322

CE 1/20/17 RT SEZ - $12,386 - Cabin 310

I believe the CE includes 2 nights accommodation in Dubai as well (interesting - just looked at the invoice to get these price comparisons and there is no mention of that!)

I have NO IDEA what Dubai hotels cost...but let's just assume a rate of $350 a night (and that it really is included!) we have a difference of 27%......If no hotel included - or like you, you throw it away to stay somewhere nicer - You have a 35% differential.

For whatever it's worth.....

Much love...

One of my all time FAV movies!

I'm with you on the dining times Hum.....We've spend many an hour sitting adjacent to you on the back of SD where we love to linger as well......Surely CE will change that. it's so simple!

Hum....I'm so desperate, I'd even take your hair.

No

 

 

 

 

Haha ....

You're both hateful......

My question....are you on the Espirt?

I get in SD2 on Saturday. We absolutely love it. Hands down, best cruise experience out there. Just sit back and enjoy!

Hi Anne - Looking forward to meeting you and Tom on board. We are flying in from JFK the morning of the 16th, then staying in IST 2 nights on back end....so a real "quickie". Ted is our "planner". I only go where I'm told to go - HA! If yall still have space on your tour avail, we might just join! Should be a great little trip. Until then! Gantt

Tell your friends to look for Gantt and Ted from Atlanta.

Any of our buddies on board this short little jaunt? Ted and I ditched a Viking trip we were on and booked this last week. Looks like there must have been a group cancellation on it as it wasn't there several months ago when we booked the "other" trip. Hope to see some friends on board! Gantt

Charlie, I am, I really am!

Any of our SD buddies on this trip?

Gantt and Ted from Atlanta

Hi - if anyone has coupons avail, I'm booked along with 4 other couples on Sept 25th Spirit sailing. We'd love to have the shipboard credits!

Thanks and regards,

Gantt Cookson

Don't fret - there will be another SeaDream before that July 2011 trip!

I've never planned ANYTHING that far in advance!
