Yes, dear.

Whereas I would have come over and said "If I ever divorce my husband (again), will you marry me????

It's $1950. Starting the whole process over again today.

How fun!

And I would find that "vibe" offputing. Still have the formal attire but it takes up more room. We'll see about that particular ship and that particular itinerary. Thanks.

We Left Coast people generally have a "been there, done that" attitude about Hawaii. Kinda like y'all going to Florida 🙂

And HNL is a hop/skip/jump it seems from SEA/PDX so I'd rather break it up that way. And the JAL/HA equipment is very appealing. Thanks AGAIN.

Thanks, mom (ha!) for that tip.

Please excuse this big error. I had surgery a while back and am still on some minor doses of pain meds that sometimes make me loopy. That $3349 is actually one way. So I will be looking long and hard at this. And thank for that HA/HNL tip. I'm also going to look at JAL and other Japanese airlines to see what their economy seats are like. I'm not adding $13K to the trip for business flights. Thanks to everyone for this. I saw it last night but decided to wait for morning coffee 🙂

So $1800 one way. So our $3349 round trip Seattle to Tokyo is a good deal?

Is that round way?

That's way better. I'll look into that also. Thanks.

I've only started this process but I'm pretty sure I saw that JAL has nonstops SEA to Tokyo. Would that be better for you. Oh, wait, if that's one flight then no. I should look at other things 🙂 Thanks.

Great info and thoughts. I'm having our TA look into it.

Thanks for THAT perspective!

Had to look that up. Gotcha!

Thanks for this. All the perks are very enticing.

We always go ashore I've been under the impression that a number of things are closed. No?

I've long said if there's a problem and all you do is complain here or to your table mates, then you've accomplished. And if I got food that was cold when it shouldn't have been I would send it back.

Here's what I will wear to dinner:

Rock climbing? If so, are you familiar with Dirt Bag Diaries?

I don't know if this is allowed. I'm very casually looking at a SS cruise to Japan and China. 14 days for $6k pp. Upgrade to business class flights for $3349, economy included. Shore excursions include (with some exceptions). Anyway you get the point. And then I found this CC review which honestly blew my mind. Is there something I'm missing here. I ask sincerely. Big fan of O but it seems they've slipped a bit. "I agree with all . I was on the Silver Shadow in Recife Brazil March 2020. We were stranded there due to COVID . Silversea was nothing less than awesome . The captain sent us champagne at least twice . Silversea chartered a plane and flew us to Dallas Texas . Governor Abbott gave us permission to come there . We arrived in Dallas at around 11:00pm and Silversea had a wonderful buffet set up in a big room they leased ..they had it all ..and we then boarded buses to the Hyatt to shower and rest in our rooms for about 5 or 6 hours . We left early morning back to the airport and they had a big buffet breakfast for us . We were then flown home by different lear jets and driven right to our front doors . AND before I left Brazil they moved me to a a Silver Suite and I was very stunned. I told Mark Conroy in Dallas that I had a motto ..." If it ain't Silversea it ain't for me " I got a note from him and also Barbara Muckermann ...Go for it and never look back !! They go above and beyond for their passengers ! 🙂"

Excellent points. And at least where we are "grass fed" animals are generally done by local farmers and cost WAY more than commercial. I've had steak that didn't taste like much of anything. And I've had lamb that could have just as easily been been. But that's what some want.

Yeah. I think they usually bring their boots and rent the rest.

She's going to Norway in March for a ski trip so might be good info. No need for a tent though on this trip.
