If Miss Vicki was on board  you would know it  !!   

Thanks rojaan19!  It isn't obvious to me at this point so I think Miss Vicki may not be on board!  🙂  I will stand to be corrected if someone has more info to share!

Did Vickie replace Fernando on the Whisper or are they both on board?  I read on another thread that she joined the Whisper.

Vickie is on vacation. She left the Muse in Sydney same day Whisper was in port. She stopped by the Whisper to say hi and then began her vacation.

I have been trying not to ask too many questions and spoil our surprise when we get on board, but can you please tell me if Nicolas is the F & B manager?  Also, who is on the shore excursion desk?

 

Many thanks.  See you soon!

When we boarded the Muse In sydney one of the crew told us she had left but was seen boarding the Whisper-so thanks for explaining that.

Day 2 in Hong Kong.  Myster and I and 9 other hearty souls did a Central Foodie Adventure tour today.  We visited a traditional Noodle House and had Wonton and Noodle Soup.....

 

 

 

We also sampled an egg tart and a sugar cane drink.....

 

 

A scene from our walk about.....

Did your walkabout include a stroll through the market street?  We were so impressed with the freshness of all the fruits, vegetables, fish (still swimming) and meats there.  The flowers were also gorgeous.

[mysty]

We did a dry market tour with this excursion...no live fish and lots of dried ones.  The best market trip on this cruise was in Shanghai before the dumpling cooking class.

 

Last night was China night in the MDR.  Chinese dishes on offer, staff decked out in Chinese garb (as were the passengers), decorations galore (also in the Bar).  Well done SS!

[Bluebelle14]

Any staff photos in Chinese garb?

[mysty]

Maybe others took pics.  No camera with me at dinner.  🙂

 

Goodbye Hong Kong.....

Loving the pics M 😀

[turtlemichael]

These pics were taken with a phone in semi-darkness and some movement so they are not the best quality. It was a fun night. We ate with Norman (and Flavio, who is currently on board) and enjoyed it.

Forgot to say that the panda is "son of Fernando", the photographer Tracy and international hostesses Maria and Christina.

Wonderful photos...missing the Lady Whisper.

Bon Voyage Mr. & Mrs. Wellseasoned!  Hope time passes quickly on the flights to Singapore.

Easiest dock in the world for accessibility to town.  Can walk virtually everywhere from there.

Enjoy the manic buzz of HCMC! 

 

If you can, mysty and turtle, make sure to watch sail-away. It is a fascinating process to turn the ship around in that river.
