We are long time SS cruisers also from Australia, and we always do our own air fares/flights and arrive at the port a day or 2 before boarding. We NEVER arrive in a port the day of or the day before boarding !! With the way flights are cancelled/rescheduled these days - we always allow a day or two before boarding a cruise to get over the flights to get there !

Mysty, Lombok is famous for their pottery ! Every village makes it ! We went in 1992 and I bought some huge platters and bowls but then had to get them home, so bought a big batik bag to put them in and Ron had to carry it as though it was light - nearly gave him a hernia - but he got them on the plane and I still have them today ! Get Myster to start building up those arm muscles 😉

Great photos Mysty ! I have been an avid snapper in the past and hopefully will be back in full swing for our next cruise when we hit the komodo drangons, and the one after that - my favorite JAPAN in cherry blossom time !

Has Silverseas really gotten worse since RCL acquired them NO ! we have just spent 54 days on the Moon. On boarding our butler from our last cruise ( Dawn August '22) saw me in corridor on on way to our room, She called me by name, we had a hug, and she said - give me you phone and had hooked me to to the internet before we got into our room, - she knew me well, I am hopeless at this stuff ! 🤩 This is why we love SS, so many staff that know you well from previous cruises. In the MDR, Kaiseki, Panorama Lounge, all remembered us from previous cruises. Some going back to our Explorer days !! I had a back injury before this cruise - so I had limited my excursions, so spent a lot of time on the ship, 54 days is a long time - but I was not disapointed that I could not get out and about, I am so glad SS have such high repeat of staff, they are happy, we are happy = great cruise.

After 54 days on the Moon, I am used to having lovely men bring me wine at any time of the day I like - so this getting home and it is DIY is pretty damn poor ! Roll on October and the Muse 😉

It was actually a double post of a previous post, but I hit post instead of cancel, my only excuse it was 7am not 10pm when I could blame 🥂🥂🥂🤦‍♀️😁😁🤭

double post

Sorry double post !

Good move RachelG !! 😃

As you get older the harder it is to remember bloody pass words even writing them down is no good - as you for get where you put that DAMN list !!!

The meeting time / and where is in the daily Chronicles - along with what else is happening during the day.

Obviously a " staff drill" 🙄🙄🙄

IS the chef Pia ? She is fantastic !

That is exactly how I am feeling at the moment Mysty !!! 🙄

The worst part of cruising = flying home !!

Isn't that the port the "LOVE BOAT" sailed from ?

Miss Vicki is from New York and was a Rockette on 6th Ave in NY ! She is FANTASTIC , knows how to run a show, she can sing and dance, but can also be one tough woman, so dont mess with her ! A GREAT addition to the SS family and a great CD to boot, hope we get to travel with her again soon ❤

HA we beat you by 5!! We just hit 51 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

As I have said on another thread here, it was our first time with Roy Perez as CD, they all have a different styles, but Roys humour and the way he ran trivia was great, we really enjoyed our 54 days on the Moon !

We just got off the Silver Moon, and had Roy Perez as CD. His trivia was hill ariou us ( and that is not a mis- spelling - it is how Roy says it !! ) we had a great 54 days on the moon with him as CD

Also a drill today for the staff
