[joefromchicago]

Anyone taking this ten day cruise with us?

This trip will but us over 100 days, free laundry.

Hi Joe,

 

Just found your post. I actually started a rollcall today since I couldn't find one. Join us on the roll call and we'd love to discuss our cruise. This will be our first Silverseas cruise after nineteen others on different lines. So far, Oceania is our very favorite. Our email is jtfourcpa@yahoo.com

We will be coming from the Orlando area the day before and would love to do a precruise dinner in Ft Lauderdale to meet fellow passengers.

Rhona,

 

We are flying in the day before from Chicago. We are staying at Lago Mar that night.

 

We just got off the Spirit in November and had a great time. If you have any questions please let me know.

Hi Joe,

 

That sounds great about meeting before the cruise. We haven't made hotel arrangements yet but will be driving down from Kissimmee. Will give you more details as we make arrangements.

 

Do you want to switch to posting under the Roll Call section of the Board where I started a thread (it's under All Other Cruises). I am a little disappointed that no one besides you and us are posting. In the many years I have used CC, we have had good sized rollcalls and a great exchange of ideas, tours, etc. I have noticed that the "luxury" cruise line rollcalls do not seem to get a lot of people posting. On the Oceania, Princess and Celebrity rollcalls we always had many active cc people.

Rhona,

 

We can keep both going, hope we will hear from more cruisers.

Well, we're considering it. See the thread : Advice for SB Sailor Eyeing Spirit. With luck, we'll see you on board.

[highlandshores]

Hopefully we will be on that cruise. Just trying to resolve the final plans. Air is horrible. It will be our first on Silversea.

[cruzluvers]

Hi Writer 100 and Highlandshores,

 

Hope your plans work out and we'll see you aboard the Spirit. It will be our first time with Silverseas and we are really looking forward to it. We are planning with Joe, a precruise dinner in Ft Lauderdale on the 13th. Would love to have you join us.

[joefromchicago]

Glad to see some activity on this roll call. We were on the Spirit in November and had a great time. If you have any questions just ask away.

 

Look forward to meeting everyone.

For the 2 formal nights....is it really really formal...like tuxes and long dresses? Or is it more like suits and dresses pants, tops or dresses for women?

[CruisinPashmina]

We'll be aboard..with a 14 year old granddaughter. Any one else traveling with a teenager? Our " child" is a curious, well behaved teenager. We would love to have her meet new friends with whom to zip line and snorkel.

 

We're thrilled that she and her mother, our adorable daughter in law, want to cruise with us on what promises to be a fascinating Mayan intensive trip. This cruise hits just about all the highlights.

 

In a quick answer to the last formality question.... There will be both dinner jackets and dark suits on formal nights. Sparkle on the ladies, but not too many long evening dresses...mostly dressy separates or cocktail dresses. Always jackets and quite a few ties on the informal nights and many sport shirts with blazers on even the casuual nights...at least in the main restaurant. All of for which we say hurrah. It is no big deal to dress up a little, now really, is it???

[joefromchicago]

I wear a dark navy suite and the wife always looks good in anything she wears.

 

We have booked 5 shore excursions, will post the list later.

 

Hope everyone has a great week.

 

Joe

[highlandshores]

We are booked....countdown starts. Can't wait.

[joefromchicago]

Highlandshores,

 

Glad to hear your coming with. We will have to set up a meet some where onboard as the time gets closer.

 

Welcome Again......Joe

[joefromchicago]

Happy Friday,

 

Came home last night and found the silver box sitting at the door. Let the countdown begin.

 

Joe

[highlandshores]

I have not gotten mine as of yet. Maybe today. Happy Friday also. Working on my excursions.

Jo Ellen

[cruzluvers]

We haven't gotten ours either. Hopefully on Monday. Also starting to work on excursions. Does everyone do only ship tours or are you open to other, less expensive, tours which we might be able to find?

[joefromchicago]

We booked the shore excursions below. We always end up changing our minds once we are on board. This is a good start for us.

Rhona: Did you ever get my email, I sent it a while ago.

 

Joe

[highlandshores]

We are waitlisted for the Airboat in Belize. We are doing a private car to see the Island of Roatan and some zipline. Nothing in Santo Tomas. Maybe doing Salsa and Salsa in Cozumel (this is not a ship excursion). That is where I am at this point.

 

We are from Texas and my husband is 72 and I am 61. Our names is Joe and Jo Ellen. Hope to see you somewhere on the ship. Looking forward to it and I want my Silver box!

Jo Ellen

[cruzluvers]

No, Joe I didn't get it. Please send again to jtfourcpa@yahoo.com

 

Also, who might be interested in getting together the night before (3/13) for a precruise dinner. The last time we went out of Ft. Lauderdale, we all went to Seasons 52 for an excellent meal.

 

Rhona

[joefromchicago]

Last time we were in Ft. Lauderdale we went to Chuck's Steak House, across the street from Embassy Suites.

 

We are good with Seasons 52, never been there.

 

Joe and Pat

[highlandshores]

Still no Silver Box....:(

[cruzluvers]

Just got mine. Yea!!

 

Does anyone know why the "Dive with Sharks!" tour in Roatan is no longer listed with the tours on neither the booklet in the silver box nor online. Are any of you divers and, if so, do you know of any good dive shops in our ports?

 

Thanks

[cruzluvers]

Keep the faith Highlandshores, I'm sure your box is on its way. :)

[highlandshores]

You might want to check Cozumel. I went on Cruise Critic and went into each port to see what people liked to do. You might want to do that. Like in Roatan I did a private tour with Christopher for the island and Zipline that I found under ports. Good Luck
