A life on the ocean wave!

What can I say about the Silversea cruise? The service is wonderful, the staff attentive, the food world class. GC left his glasses on the desk in our room, on his return there was a cleaning cloth left folded beside them! 24 hour room service, French champagne, a great selection of wine and spirits....whatever you want....just ask. More food than you could ever eat, entertainment, a health spa and gym. Only complaint is that the internet is either slow or non-existent.....but we are cruising after all and apparently they are going to make improvements when the ship goes into dry-dock in October.


On the first full day at sea, Sunday, I start the morning with a pedicure at the Spa - superb! We have now met a couple from Baltimore and together we do a brief French lesson in the lounge, followed by a cooking demonstration with Executive Chef Douglas Hope.....there is a daily program and you can choose to do as much or as little as you like. Tonight is formal night and the Captain's welcome reception so it's out with the dinner suit, long black dress and bling. We also join our new American friends in 'Le Champagne' which is a smaller restaurant on board which you must book and pay a surcharge. A great time had by all.......they even present you with your own menu as a momento!
