I forgot to post we will be on this cruise with the Valentino's. This worked out to be a pretty good deal. The cruise is 8 nights and overnights in Barcelona. We opted for a double upgrade offer that got us to a Balcony Room - we had booked a Vista. Also, as the time went on after we booked, Shore Excursions were added as inclusive as well as the 1 hour per person per day of Wifi. And Butlers for everyone!

All and all a pretty good deal at $3,750 pp for 8 nights in a Balcony Suite.

This will be our first time on the Spirit. We have been on Cloud, Wind, Shadow and Whisper.

Can't say enough about how great this cruise line is! Giddy!

Very Excited about this trip.. Great Ports!! and second everything Todd said.

So nice to get a true All inclusive experience for under $1000 per day...

Not long now...

That does sound good.

Tom & I are flying to Rome on May 3rd and renting an airbnb apartment for 7 nights, we'll just miss running into you at Fiumicino airport. We couldn't resist the AARP British Air sale flying RT Biz Class for under $1,200. they had several months ago.

$1200 RT Biz class is a great deal!

Great video about the Spirit and Silversea

Todd, I so enjoyed that video! Have wished a long time for Ngaire do a repeat of our Camel group cruise years ago! Seems now, group cruise with SS are on the more adventurous expedition ships, which work out for a lot of people.

You have a great price for a wonderful itinerary since excursions are included!

Ah the Silver Box has arrived! And my International Wifi Device!

I bought a SkyRoam a while ago. Used it in Thailand, and on our latest Regent cruise a few times when we were in port and couldn't get a connection thru the ships WiFi. Also used it recently in Mexico. I love it! Much cheaper for me than buying a data plan from ATT (only takes a few minutes to use up the measly data allowances ATT sells you). You have to have access to a 3G signal, but that hasn't been an issue for me (except when were on the Amazon in Brazil and a few places in Mexico where there is no cell service).

Ahh, the coveted Silver Box! I sure wish we were joining you, Todd. We miss Silversea! Hopefully we'll be back on one day soon.

Your countertops are gorgeous, BTW! In fact, I think we might have the same ones (or very similar) - we installed them last year, and if I remember right, they were called "African Tapestry".

Enjoy your cruise!!!

Todd

I think you need the Silver Spirit Martini in front of that box to make the Picture complete!!!!

Not long now Todd!!!!!!

Leaving in 9 days for Rome! The Eternal City!

Todd, hope you ALL will have a fabulous cruise!

Thank you Olivia!

This will be the most wonderful trip!!!!
