You need to put in real money (in our case via credit card). I think that there must be some sort of list in the crew quarters as we have always been thanked by crew members. We have the same experience; we donate at the reception and after that the crew members thank us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often wonder if people query their hotels in advance regarding specific brands in stock 😅. Now, I must confess that during my years of frequent business travel, my briefcase contained a few tea bags in my preferred blends primarily for use on flights. A coworker of mine observed my use of my own Earl Grey tea bag on a flight and said "You know, that seems really high maintenance - but at least you're self-maintained!." 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JSR Posted April 21, 2023 #36 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Thank you to all those that made me laugh today! Also, for bringing the crew fund to my attention, our second Silversea cruise is coming up and it is nice to know about that option. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogey Posted April 21, 2023 Author #37 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I apologize, I didn’t think this through. If I had, I would have realized that my post would lead to an excited debate about tipping. — the “third rail” of Silversea discussion groups. I do appreciate the two or three folks who, while not really answering my question, at least addressed it. But I do have one more question — is a Tuxedo really expected to be worn on formal nights, or will a nice pair of jeans suffice? JUST KIDDING. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hope I’m not banned from these boards. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Work for Tiramisu Posted April 22, 2023 #44 Share Posted April 22, 2023 If I showed up at the Grill in my classic bell-bottomed skinny jeans with paisley bell inserts at side seams, with a white linen Indian dhoti on top, with large peace symbol on gold chain, and Birkenstocks - would that pass muster? Or would I be subject to the obligatory keel-hauling?? 🤩 Need to know whether need to pack Scuba gear or no.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Silversea only came into being in 1994, you might consider a ship more early-70's for that attire for your next cruise. Wow ... just realized that RCCL launched their first ship, Song of Norway, in 1970. Has it really been so long? Then again, we still have a few spots here in Colorado where you would go completely unnoticed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Work for Tiramisu Posted April 22, 2023 #47 Share Posted April 22, 2023 We live in Eugene, Oregon, which is truly where old hippies go to die. In fact, a local cemetery has a tricked out VW bus that you can have your urn of ashes placed in. Ken Kesey is from just out of town, some of the Merry Pranksters can still be seen at the grocery stores, the Grateful Dead were regulars here at local events and playing at the U of O football stadium for years, and the Country Fair is now in its 52nd year, originally a sort of Scarborough Fair in a country setting, that morphed into a giant amoeba like hippy drug sodden 3 day event. You still see people wearing the outfit I described, and lots of tie dye, and dreadlocks down to their (unshod feet). Many of the former Yurt-in-a-Commune dwellers now have thriving businesses, live in McMansions and drive Tesla's hither and yon, although a few still have the olde VW Microbus in the third garage bay. A bit like a living history museum here. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted April 23, 2023 #49 Share Posted April 23, 2023 That rings a bell - my first cruise was on Song of America, and our dinner table companions were from a group on board of American morticians! They were great fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
