Never too old to learn, I guess.  Thanks.

Is she in good shape? Have only been on ships newer than 5 years.

Lovely ship.  I have noticed several cloudy windows, but they are due to be replaced in the dry dock coming up this fall.

Is Captain Matt still in command on Silhouette for this cruise?

Only for two more days. He leaves in Lisbon

[Foggy Cruiser]

Will be Capt Sympouras I would imagine 

[chemmo]

There is a reason we has a Captain Michael, Captain Leo etc…It is because none of us can spell or pronounce their names…

Thank you both for the footstool info.  Some in hump (slant) cabin posted a pix with the chairs and footstools.  Guess it wouldn’t hurt to purchase 2 of those foldable ones, just in case.

 

All revolutionized ships have had the footstools removed from non-suite balconys

Not sure if you can answer but we are looking at V3 balconies in the back so as not to have to look down at lifeboats.  Which would be quieter, ones over Blu or ones over Qsine?

I would imagine that they would be equal. Neither location features loud music.

10:06 PM and Captain Matt just came on the PA system to tell us that bad weather is forecast and we will be skipping Porto tomorrow and hustling straight to Lisbon.

 

That will make tomorrow a seaday with a 4 PM arrival at Lisbon

That is a bit disappointing , but not much you can do

Since it was supposed to be a port day tomorrow does that mean that the Skylounge will be accessible for all passengers? Wonder if they’ll plan new events for the PW people there instead.

It’s too soon to know.  We will get updated daily planners in a few hours.

Silly question…do the mini fridges actually chill things?  On Edge our mini fridge was great but I’ve seen here on CC that people have to get ice buckets to chill beverages.  Planning on carrying on two bottles of wine on Silhouette and am curious.

[cruisestitch]

They are more like coolers rather than refrigerators.  There is some chilling power, but they benefit from augmentation with ice buckets

Event like trivia have still been scheduled into ensemble so I don’t know yet what that means for the availability of sky lounge. Will investigate later today to see if the barrier is still up at the entry

Here we are on our unexpected day at sea and sky lounge is closed all day😥😥😥

Why is it closed all day if it is an unexpected day at sea?

It's an unexpected day at sea though, they were supposed to be in port(o) and park west weren't supposed to be hogging the sky lounge all of today. So plans have obviously changed and park West have managed to take over the sky lounge for yet another day. Guess the photocopiers and ink jet printers onboard are being kept busy churning out more 'art' to flog. 

[cruisestitch]

parkwest shifted the activities which had been scheduled for this evening to today during the day
