shark b8 Posted March 24, 2023 Author #651 Share Posted March 24, 2023 As I said, it was brutally hot and humid in Broome today. The ship cancelled the on-deck sailaway stuff in the late afternoon. When we walked up the Deck 5 gangway, this guy was perhaps looking around for any leftover caviar. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be that beets are a vegetable that keeps for a long long time. Perhaps the ship has a large store of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very disappointed for those sailing with you who are so unhappy. Evidently, many small cutbacks have made the trip not the usual Seabourn experience. I'm sure you have heard some of the complaints. Is it possible that you are concerned with other aspects of the cruise and are not bothered by many small cutbacks? I'm just trying to assess what we might find when we sail in June (on a different SB ship). You'll likely find different issues on the different ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the ship has a large store of them. Now that is a scary thought... I have to say that it's been bothering me the last day or two that kale was accidentally being left off the Devil's List. But I looked into it and it turns out that kale is a very close relative of Brussels sprouts. So I think it is fair to consider that it is included by default. Now I can sleep better tonight. 🙂 D 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topkatz Posted March 25, 2023 #658 Share Posted March 25, 2023 This video covers the South Pacific part of the cruise. It took a bit of work to compile. Had to wait to find shore based Wi-Fi to upload. Next up will be Australia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belami Posted March 25, 2023 #660 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Do you have a copy of the cancellation notice please? More sea days I wonder? We're joining in Bali and nothing received from Seabourn or TA at this time. Thank you and also for your informative and amusing postings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goaliedad30 Posted March 25, 2023 #661 Share Posted March 25, 2023 It is changed to go directly from Seychelles to Tanzania, with a 3 day stay in Zanzibar, plus an added day in Dar es Salaam. The 2nd Seychelles day sails slightly earlier (3 pm vs 5 pm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belami Posted March 25, 2023 #662 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Thank you for this. Shame to leave SEZ earlier, had hoped they may have extended there. Ho hum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark b8 Posted March 25, 2023 Author #663 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Yep, goaliedad is correct. Remains to be seen what will happen to the extended overland excursions that would have started in Mombasa. Here’s the letter that circulated today, I would guess Belami and others joining in Bali ought to be getting something like this asap.

Flamin_June Posted March 25, 2023 #664 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Well now, here is a thing.Your Restaurant menu of 15 hours ago looks exactly the same as our Odyssey Restaurant menu for tonight. Bet you there was also Lemongrass Pottage etc etc sigh……another illusion shattered. I hope our Chef’s special is different from yours: Fresh pasta melanzane. The heavy hand of corporate conformity dulls spontaneity and invention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark b8 Posted March 25, 2023 Author #667 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Guessing (?) tonight’s Herald article is in reference to the bird pic I posted as we walked back up the gangway yesterday, from our day in Broome.

shark b8 Posted March 25, 2023 Author #668 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Hot and steamy again today. As I’ve said, we like to prop the veranda door open with the table, to enjoy the sailing-sounds and the sea air, but this is what happens to the big mirror in current conditions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to get your air con turned off if you want to keep the balcony door open. It's not good for the system to do this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
