I'm with you. Prior to the formal announcement I had it in mind that the size of the Sunset Bar would be reduced a little and the fixed wooden stools removed to create a bit more table seating. It looks like the opposite will happen and worse still the Sunset Veranda will now be a restricted area. I've had some of my most memorable cruise views from there.:(

I've had some of my most memorable views and moments of my life there. Which makes this upgrade not just annoying, but down right sad. Play is Again, Sam. Leave the Sunset bar open.

A link from yesterday. I'm due to sail Dubai to Istanbul via the Suez Canal in a little over a week, so am watching this closely.

Hello, I am really enjoying this travelogue of your back to back voyage on the Silver Cloud. Would it be possible to post a photo of the daily ship's activities newsletter (assuming such a publication comes to you daily) ?

I am thinking of taking this ship from Capetown to Mombasa, and your blog is really helping out with showing life on board. Wonderful photos of your port stops and on board! Thanks.
