Live from Silhouette

[Sheffben79]

We are currently onboard Silhouette, 4 night mini cruise. Anybody have questions?

I read on Social Media that 68 Wait staff left the ship earlier this week and have not been replaced.

This means that there are few Assistant Waiters.

Hopefully, more staff were taken on in Southampton, as I’ve also read that both the present cruise and the next one are 100% full.

 

Is the staff situation effecting dining room service.

Who is the CD, is he/she staying until TA?

Hi

Do they currently have Guinness or John Smiths/Boddingtons on board.

They didn’t on my April 21st cruise or the one after.

Would be interested to know how full the next cruise (on 29th Sept) is going to be!

 

hope you are having a great time.

There are still a fair number of cabins available to book in most classes even a couple of suites.

Aha! You are right! It hadn't occurred to me that the sailing would still be open for booking. By my count, 26 Inside, small number oceanview, 46 Veranda/Sunset veranda empty, 2 aqua class, 43 concierge. And a small number of suites.

 

So, not full at all!

So over 90% full then.

I am looking at verandas and they all say King Bed. In the past I never paid attention just always requested beds be separated. Can the king convert to twins? I feel like an idiot asking after all the cruises I have taken!!  Thank you!

Do you know who'll be Captain for the TA , October 20th?

[39august]

Yes, beds can separate.

Twins are pushed together to make a King bed.

Yes. Just ask the cabin steward.
