Master Echo Posted September 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Sitting at the airport awaiting our flight to Montreal, I am reflecting on my forthcoming cruise on Silver Muse that starts there on September 28th. I sailed on her in April on her inaugural cruise and it will be interesting to see what changes if any have been made. During the intervening months there has been great dialogue on these boards about passengers' thoughts on the ship. I know that on the cruise which sails from FLL after we disembark, that they are returning to the SS format of dress code shipwide, rather than dependent on which dining venue you choose. They are also enlarging the Atlantide restaurant which quite naturally has proved extremely popular. I am very aware that there are a great number of CCers who are sailing on this voyage and I would be delighted if they feel able to contribute their thoughts on the Muse. On a very sad note, Duct Tape was booked on this cruise and Sir and Madame discussed this when we met at the Muse's Christening in Monte Carlo in April, but she passed away shortly after. Several pre-embarkation trips around Canada await, before embarkation on Thursday, but it is the cruise to which I am looking forward the most. Hopefully I will have the pleasure of meeting you all at the M&Ms and putting faces to noms de plume. Kindest regards Master Echo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare WesW Posted September 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Fair Winds and Following seas for your Muse voyage Master Echo. Look very forward to reading your second Muse voyage impressions vis-a-vis the your wonderfully descriptive postings from the Muse inaugural cruise. Also, look forward to reading the first Muse voyage impressions/thoughts of many of your fellow Silversea cruise critics too. And hopefully, all of you (or just a few) will also post some snaps on your voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare spinnaker2 Posted September 26, 2017 #14 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Bon voyage to all! I am certain you will have an amazing time aboard the Muse. One question, knowing there are changes afoot for the restaurant venue driven dress/attire requirements, how are you handling or did you handle the dress code in terms of packing?

Master Echo Posted September 27, 2017 Author #15 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Dear Spinnaker 2 and anyone else who may wish to know. Sir and Madame opted for a range of attire that would fulfil all current requirements, as we are pretty certain that the "new regime" on both dress code for specific restaurants, and reservation necessity, will not come into effect until we leave on October 12, God bless free laundry!! I will borrow one of Sir's bowties should the need arise. Kindest regards Master Echo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emtbsam Posted September 27, 2017 #17 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Greetings from Montreal, a lovely city, where we are anxiously awaiting tomorrow's departure on the Muse. In the "small world" category, we ran into one other cc.com contributor and another SS couple at the airport prior to our flight here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare spinnaker2 Posted September 27, 2017 #18 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Thanks for the wardrobe update, and may you always be tied with a bow! Good wishes and Bon voyage once again to all.

Rare WesW Posted September 28, 2017 #19 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Echo strongly what spinnaker2/Candy says above--we look very forward to the Montreal to Ft. Lauderdale Muse cruise critic posts. Have a smooth transition day boarding tomorrow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Echo Posted September 28, 2017 Author #20 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Our whistle stop tour of South Eastern Canada came to an end today with a day trip to Quebec City by train. The Muse was dwarfed by Crystal Serenity, both docked, an easy walk from the old town. Our paths crossed with two Filipino crew ashore for a few hours. We recognised them and they said hello having recognised us: ah - that Silversea family again. After a long unseasonally hot spell, the heavens opened around 5 pm which might have dampened the enthusiasm for those planning to eat at the grill this evening during the transit up the St Lawrence to Montreal. We have heard from an officer onboard that the cruise now drawing to a close has had a friendly warm atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Echo Posted September 28, 2017 Author #21 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Oh dear the vagaries of Cruise Critic!! As I was saying the atmosphere onboard was obviously very good and I look forward to this continuing for us all from tomorrow. Yesterday during our exploration of Montreal we passed by Embtsam's hotel which we trust she has enjoyed. Can't wait for the gathering of the clans tomorrow!

Rare Silver Spectre Posted September 28, 2017 #22 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Looks like we are docked on the edge of town, with the main cruise terminal occupied by the Aida Diva. Not quite the mid morning stroll that was anticipated. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinPashmina Posted September 28, 2017 #23 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Thanks for that helpful heads up! I had hoped to walk to The Muse which could have been a lovely walk thru the Vieux Port neighborhood....ah well, it's a beautiful day and I am looking forward this Muse adventure.
