Not now. 😉 to illustrate Stumbles ' point perhaps, after each enjoying drinks DW & I found ourselves unintentionally among the boutiques. I found a nightgown that I really thought she should have, fortunately (I think), she declined. Admittedly I had no idea of the price 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would they wish to do that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayflower1 Posted December 6, 2019 #106 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Thank you so much Beaujolais and Others for providing us with a clear sense of how the Shadow now looks following the Refurbishment - in my opinion it looks great and now largely conforms to the Musified Palette . Certainly the Ship seems to have been modernised well and the results should give her a new Spring in her Step. I am somewhat surprised that she is not being used for the forthcoming World Cruise as The Whisper in comparison is now showing her age in the Style Stakes. The Picture that was posted elsewhere showing the Codged Up Pool Steps merely indicates that she is outdated and needs attention. I know The Ship has a substantial following and has received some Museification but The Shadow must now be regarded as a more attractive option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ross Posted December 6, 2019 #108 Share Posted December 6, 2019 We are thinking of returning to Silverseas after a break of a couple of years (apart from a short trip on Wind we we enjoyed). I note Sliver Shadow has been refurbished. Can anyone explain what the dinning option are now and which have to be reserved? Grateful thanks for any help and apologies if people have already covered this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swindy Posted December 6, 2019 #110 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Thanks for onboard guests posting photos to allow us to see the changes. Have the meals been ‘musified’ in terms of plating and content? Also can I ask who the Cruise Consultant and Executive Chef are onboard.

Unibok Posted December 6, 2019 #112 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Thank you all for these terrific Shadow pix! They make me eager to sail her again. I had mistakenly thought they would be adding an Arts Cafe, but it looks like the Coffee Connection is different. In addition to coffee and bar drinks, does it also provide little nibblies throughout the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCCruiser57 Posted December 6, 2019 #113 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) It does - if you look at the one pic it shows nibbles in a glass case. Edited December 6, 2019 by DCCruiser57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpets, soft goods, drapes, lots of furniture were updated a couple of years ago. What's more, Whisper has Zodiacs and the necessary infrastructure for them. Shadow does not. Though I as a lap swimmer regret the Whisper pool stairs, I am certain that many guests will greatly appreciate them. Of course, Shadow has the much renovated Deck 5 midship space. It looks nice, but time will tell how well it works out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueSeraSera Posted December 6, 2019 #119 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Treats currently in the cabinet at The Arts Cafe The temporary signage does not include "Arts Cafe" which has confused me a bit (surely it hasn't been due to rediscovering rum drinks here in the tropics) So I asked the crewmembers the name of this place & was told Arts Cafe. I also asked if they would have the cake we had enjoyed there yesterday, response was they would have them there shortly. trying to hold to one dessert a day... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there still chocolate truffles every night about 830? Along with some other confections worthy of taking back to your suite in a to go cup just in case one needs chocolate during the night? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueSeraSera Posted December 6, 2019 #123 Share Posted December 6, 2019 @swindy IMO dinners have been elegantly presented and of first quality, just as we found them to be on Muse. The executive chef is De La Marcelino (I did not get a first name); the cruise consultant Natasjha was busy with customers when I went to ask her last name moments ago. Couldn't help but overhear they were closing the deal. I think cruisers satisfaction quite high on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure you have the first name, Marcelino, and are missing the last name. From what I understand, his full name is Marcelino De la Cruz. I believe he comes from the Expedition fleet where he has spent time aboard both the Discoverer and Explorer. Maybe some of the long time expedition passengers here like Dr. Ron, Rojann, RachelG, or JPAlbany, can confirm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueSeraSera Posted December 6, 2019 #125 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Seems likely you are right Stumbles, thanks for the correction.
