Sail Date: Feb 2012

We embarked Silver Shadow on 23rd February 2012, in Fremantle Perth Australia. Embarkation was smooth, and an extra nice little touch, the mandatory form passengers must sign regarding Norovirus, had already been printed by Silversea, therefore you merely had to sign your name, thereby saving time. As has been commented by others previously, the welcome glass of champagne has now shrunk even further and there is virtually only a mouthful in the glass!

We checked the forward programme for evening events to enable us to then make dinner reservations in the restaurants that require pre-booking, so that we did not clash with special evening events. What proved interesting was the variability in patronage of Le Champagne and La Terrazza on different nights.

There was no welcome bottle of champagne in our cabin, another shrinkage from last November. Our butler said that in line with their Italian heritage, they were now offering Prosecco, but only on request! However newcomers to Silversea would be unaware that this welcome gesture was no longer being provided except on request. We asked for and received a bottle of champagne.
