chicagogal Posted May 12, 2010 #279 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Nice to look out my office window and see the Spirit docked at 44th street in the Hudson. It's looking spectacular! Looking nice and ready for the TA crossing. Those boarding tomorrow--enjoy! :) Thanks dag39. It was a great voyage! I have lots of photos but have been too busy working since I got home to post anything. I hate how that works! Patty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilio Posted June 2, 2010 #280 Share Posted June 2, 2010 We leave tomorrow for Venice and June 5th sailing on the Spirit. Our first cruise for 5 year anniversary.

dougburns Posted June 2, 2010 #282 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Rumor has it that smoking will no longer be permitted in the Panorama Lounge(inside) on Silver Spirit. Up to now it has been permitted after 1830, since, due to its location, there is no smoking in the Bar. I have our T/A checking this with SS, since it's not reflected on their website. This rumor comes from what has been a reliable source. They are full world cruisers and have cancelled their 2011 WC on Spirit because of it.

Goldens4 Posted June 2, 2010 #283 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I wonder if this is going to be fleet wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougburns Posted June 2, 2010 #284 Share Posted June 2, 2010 The info in my last post is correct per SS in FLL. Change went into effect 28 May. Don't think it will affect the other ships though, since you can smoke in the Bar on the others and you never could smoke in the Panorama Lounge on the others.

Goldens4 Posted June 2, 2010 #285 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Thanks so much, Doug. I wonder if this will cause cancellations IF SS informs passengers of this change that are booked? For SS's sake, I hope they do make this policy change known. There will be quite a few passengers in a snit when they discover this when onboard.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare WesW Posted June 10, 2010 #290 Share Posted June 10, 2010 For upcoming Med Spirit cruisers, pls check out this excellent blog about Andrea's current Spirit cruise in the Med: http://luxurycruisebible.blogspot.com/2010/06/silversea-silver-spirit-visits-trieste.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LuxuryCruiseBible+%28Luxury+Cruise+Bible%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted June 10, 2010 #291 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Wes, Thanks for posting. I have been following Andrea's blog on her site but I find she is not saying too much about the ship. Other than the hot rock dinner it has all been about the ports. Maybe that's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WesW Posted June 10, 2010 #292 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Henry, u'r welcome..agree, lots of "Med" port info; am also looking fwd to andrea's assessment of the Spirit (as u know she has been on the Odyssey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougburns Posted June 10, 2010 #293 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I know you like to hear other people's opinion, Wes; but why do you need one from Andrea about the Silver Spirit when you've already been there and done that? I guess it must be an Army thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjo Posted June 11, 2010 #294 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Sure hope the news is correct. The more non smoking areas the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted June 11, 2010 #295 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yes, I do know she has been on the Odyssey, Wes. Maybe she'll do a comparison when she's finished with this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wripro Posted June 20, 2010 #298 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Wes, Andrea still has not really said anything about the Spirit on the blog of her cruise (other than the hot rock experience.) I wonder if we should read anything into that. Or perhaps it is still coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WesW Posted June 20, 2010 #299 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Henry, have sent Andrea an email for any updates. Dieter, thanks for Silversea blog mention..Ralph Grizzle, aka Avid Cruiser/Avid Media produces almost all of the videos posted on the Silversea blog.

Rare WesW Posted June 20, 2010 #300 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Henry, just heard from Andrea..she will post her Spirit review w/pics (her husband is best photographer I have seen post on any internet chat forum) on Luxury Cruise Bible later this week. In short, they loved the Spirit and crew..her husband thought the SS wine that was poured was best they have had at sea (she sails all lux lines). They were not crazy about the gym/spa area.
