Neville, have a great trip and Happy Birthday!!! Keep us posted. We leave a week Friday for Chicago and then on to Rome on Sunday, but will check try to check in on Saturday. That is too funny that you and LeeAnne might be run into each other. We embark the day that she disembarks in Rome. We were even thinking about staying at the castle that she was going to before we got that deal at the Intercontinental.

For those that were wondering about the silver box. It is a silver clad box (about the size of a shoe box and not real silver. Darn!) with the embossed Silversea logo on the outside that the cruise documents come in. When opened you find on top that there are two leather luggage tags with the titanium finished logo on them. Under those you find your personalized print out of your itinerary along with emergency phone numbers, personalized email addresses, etc that you leave with family or friends so that you can be contacted in case of emergencies, along with your leather folder containing your cruise documents, and a detailed brochure on your available ship excursions. Really classy. We had a party with our friends when ours came and did the doc dance together. This is their first Silversea cruise and she and her sister were so excited that they even took pictures of the box and the contents.
