Just back from the SHADOW

[shipsmail]

We are just back from the Grand Transatlantic Cruise (NY-Southampton). It was our fifth SS cruise and maybe the best one. Service, friendliness, meals and everything just outstanding. Fully booked, but never crowded.

Excellent! Glad you enjoyed the voyage. Care to share anymore details?

Yes, would love to hear more about this voyage!! Our TA, westbound, in '05 was our SS and sailing debut...and we loved it! Glad to hear everything was up to snuff.

Great to hear that ! We are sailiing in the Shadow in a few days, I'm curious how is dining in the casual cafe, did u try it? I'm thinking in skipping formal nights, going to the other more casual restaurant.

eleang,

no, we did not try the casual restaurant, always used the main restaurant and only once the room service for dinner. Always good service. Have a great cruise on the SHADOW!

Shipsmail, was Marilyn the bar tender in the bar on your cruise? She was an absolute delight and made us so happy before going to dinner. She is a gem.

Marilyn? A gem? There was a Marilyn on our Lisbon-NYC "Shadow" voyage last month and she was no gem...she was a tiara! A jewel encrusted bracelet! An entire jewelry store! :D

 

This was the 2nd time we had the pleasure of sailing with Marilyn. It was a delight to see her smiling face on the Shadow...but of course it was nice to see so many smiling faces on the ship.

We have been sailing with Marilyn for over 10 years...there is none finer!

Thank you shipsmail, It seems everyone highly recommends The Restaurant vs LT. I think I will try it a couple of nights, probably the 2 formal nights.

Marilyn was the "winner" of the bartenders' contest onboard the Grand Transatlantic Crossing that we just disembarked. She received a "day off" as the prize. She is a very nice person; tries very hard to remember your name and is very professional.

Was that eastbound or westbound? If eastbound...how did you like the Dead Sea MudSlide duo? Be kind.

Hi duct tape...

Out of the five libations I voted for the Mudslide for best taste. That was a fun afternoon in the Panorama.

Thank you! I just wish someone would burn the pix!

:) I seem to recall there was an interesting story 'bout how the drink, (or the name of the drink?) came into being? (Was either Ken or Susan the "bartender"? The memories are fading!!)

Yes, Marilyn was there and we completely agree, that she is great. Unfortunately after dinner she was in the Casino and not in the main bar on our cruise.

CASHIPman, that would be Susan...Ken has no shame!
