Isn't this week the last RSSC cruise on the Diamond? Do we have any LCTers aboard? When the Song "retired," there was so much nostalgia on board and off, but it seems as if the Diamond is moving out of the fleet much more quietly. Maybe we'll hear from someone who is aboard ...

Priscilla, I don't recall anyone posting that they would be aboard. But we do have Peggy and Al who just got off, and perhaps they will post the plans they heard of for the final week.

I will try and stalk her as well, see if we can catch some fleeting glimpses.

Good idea, Karen. I never got to sail the Diamond -- we were booked on her for October -- but so many people have such fondness for her that I'm sure your stalking would be a big hit. As Olivia said, maybe Peggy and Al will fill us in on what special things RSSC is doing during these last cruises.

Priscilla, the Diamond was second only to the Song of Flower! Two unique ships that I miss already.

We were very fortunate to have sailed on the Diamond last year. Very cozy ship, with an outstanding dining room and terrific crew. This ship will be missed by many.

Retired and loving it!

Just back from the Diamond... we were a little disappointed, but there really weren't any special farewell activities while we were onboard. I did get pretty choked up as we were leaving Rome, however. The Voyager was docked just ahead of the Diamond. As we passed the Voyager going out of the port, what looked like most of the Voyager staff came out on deck to wave a huge banner that said "Farewell Little Sister". There was a great deal of waving and cheering (and horn blasting) between the two ships. Also, at the Silver Seas Society cocktail party, we received a special Diamond commerative pin. That was a nice touch. The captain and cruise director mentioned several times that the Diamond would be leaving RSSC. Apparently nearly all the staff (with the exception of the Captain) will be able to stay with Radisson. We loved this Captain--it's too bad there isn't any room for him with RSSC. My solution to that problem is for Radisson to build another ship and let Neil be the Captain. That would make us all happy, including him.

I have been trying to stalk the Diamond this week but I am not having much luck. Today she is in Gythion, Greece all by herself :(
