netpj Posted December 5, 2021 #26 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Hi Lois: If you happen across any Canadians on this cruise, we would like to know what they are doing about PCR testing to return to Canada. Have drawn a blank with Silversea. Probably unlikely that there are any Canadians on the ship, but just thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I agree. Very glad to see him earn his promotion. Hope that we’ll get to sail with him again someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question about the closet space 0 does the walk in still have a double hanging rod next to the door or have they removed it like they did on the Shadow? Thanks!

Rare Lois R Posted December 6, 2021 Author #29 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Hi, the closest question? One bar goes across. Plenty of room for me😀 And I don't know that I have met any Canadians. Sorry, can't answer that one.. Today we are in St Thomas. Haven't been here in many years. Booked a tour for 1:00. Highlights and a rum tasting😀 Tonight I am eating in LaDame with a nice English couple I met. Should be fun. Last night they had music and dancing at the pool with lots of chocolates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate these great details and excellent efforts to keep us posted. Sounds like great fun!! If you have not already shared, how full is this sailing? Great to hear that Jimmy K from Conn. has been promoted up to being the HD. Remember Jimmy from sailing with him on the Silver Cloud in July 2010 while doing the Norway Coast up to the Top of Europe. From the picture below, it does not look as if Jimmy has aged much. Right? Is he still charming and fully of energy? THANKS! Enjoy!

Rare Lois R Posted December 6, 2021 Author #31 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Hi Terry, I was told this leg has 299 guests on board. When we dock in Barbados later in the week I don't know how many are disembarking or how many new folks are coming on board. But many of us are here for the full 15 days.

Rare Silver Spectre Posted December 6, 2021 #32 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Hi Terry, I have some lovely photos of Jimmy, including the forfeit ones. Unfortunately they are not fit for CC consumption now he is management.🤐 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CruiserFromMaine Posted December 7, 2021 #34 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Also glad to see Jimmy promoted. This is our third cruise with him, first as HD. Jimmy told us there are about 70 getting off in Barbados. I didn’t think to ask how many are getting on there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted December 8, 2021 Author #42 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Hi, my lamb was totally undercooked. Medium is not raw. And the menu says Rack of Lamb and this was 1 lamb chop and that is not a rack. By the time the waiter brought it back cooked nearly correct, my table mates had finished their entrees. I am glad Spins had a lovely dinner. That is how all the meals should be as well. I can't pretend this was for me but I am still having an overall lovely cruise! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours actually has the double hanging bar on the half near the door (i.e., one bar all the way across the top and a lower bar across one half). I guess some have it and some don't. We've had a wonderful time meeting and chatting with you, @Lois R (as well as @spinnaker2 and her DH, @CruiserFromMaine and his DW, and many others on board)! This has been a very nice cruise! My only complaint is that the wifi can be glacially slow despite their bragging about how wonderful it is (not to mention the $300 for premium). That's hardly raining on our parade, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am giving my honest opinion of my meal. I wasn't doubting you. Certainly one lamb chop is not a 'rack' and vastly undercooked should never have left the kitchen. Let's hope it was a one-off – but even so it was a very expensive disappointment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
