Were you presented a complimentary wine list when you were on the Moon? In the past, such a list was never shown as it was more secret than top secret.

Hope we see further reporting on the Nova from @Tarwood3, @DrFleur, and @Rmps who should have boarded today.

Yes. We had it in The Restaurant. Don’t know if it’s available in a lounge, but imagine it would be if you were to ask once on board.

Thx Dr. Ron. It’s good to see a mountain kid, who only started riding a few years ago in college, achieve some early success. He certainly has a bright future in front of him.

Gotcha. Thx for the explanation.

Thx for the menu! I had no idea eggplant had enough fat in it to be cooked in it.

How much were you prepared to pay? I thought $60 was the going rate. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Agree! Or, a really tasty Harvey Wallbanger, of course. 😁

Have never seen a cloud formation like it. Scary!

Pretty terrific start! Look forward to updates.

I hear what you are saying, and certainly had never been to Vietnam before, but in our case it was as either two sea days or two nights in Angkor Wat. No brainer as we didn’t miss any stops in Vietnam.

Hang on, Jolly!

Holy cow! Didn’t even need your RV to see a bear. Amazing!

It was awesome! Especially since I like to explore on my own and wasn’t forced to stay with the SS group. Our mid-voyage land experience was one night in Hanoi (wild) and two nights in Siem Reap (fascinating). Angkor Wat is huge, spread out over 150+ square miles. So, it’s nice that you’ll have three nights there to hopefully explore more than just the highlights. We rejoined the ship in Bangkok where we also spent one night, just like the song said. 😉

Brilliant ZQT!

Les has flown drones on SS for years. He’s shared some spectacular footage in this forum over the years. Try and find them with the search function. I think you’ll like them.

@mchell810 and @sea bright, thank you for taking the time to share your experiences and get this topic underway.

Exactly.

Has anyone here participated in one of these paid excursions and if so, would you mind sharing your perspective on the quality of the excursion, what you received, and whether you found the excursion valuable / worth the price paid? The last time I went on one of these tours it was with SS’s corporate executive chef and the cost was $0. Hard to imagine a similar culinary excursion now costs $499, let alone $899 next summer, so I’m trying to figure out what’s different that’s driving the cost.

You and I both know it was a farce from the beginning. Makes for a good MBA case study though showing how to implement a major step change in pricing for the long-term vs. incremental increases year-after-year.

Never be sorry when speaking the truth. I wanted to write the same thing late yesterday evening, but after a 14-hour day hiking in the Grand Tetons, I found myself needing to clean the camper from spitting my beer out when I read Jazzy’s shushing comment. 😆

I know what you mean. I loved hiking through the totem poles at Sitka National Historical Park to reach the Raptor Center. Another great Alaskan destination is Wrangell and the Anan Wildlife Observatory. Bald eagles as thick as sparrows and bears galore. That’s the destination required for me if we ever return to Alaska.

That’s putting it nicely IMO. 😉

And perhaps galoshes?

No. But you’ll find dozens and dozens of slots available once you board the ship.
