Marinergal, indeed I was on the very first shakedown of the Voyager very early in March! I, too, had just done the Med on the Mariner the September before, but I was so excited for this opportunity to be onboard and report to everyone as well as enjoy it myself, it was worth spending the ff miles instead of dollars to get myself to Nice with only 3-5 days notice! So I had no real costs for this cruise. My personal experience on the ship was nearly flawless, for people, service, food, cabin,....everything. We definitely did not have computers, and they WERE stacked in boxes, so no obscene internet charges. My problem was having this obsession with reporting about my trip on cc and not having anyone from reception helping me to find interntet cafes locally. It worked out, I found them, and had a great time communicating with everyone at the time. Now I am doing a "shakedown" review of the Silver Shadow since our lct members from Silversea are not very active! I hope that will change!
