During this exhibition I also dislike the folks that insist on waving their napkins in the air flinging whatever morsels of food from dinner are on them to all the neighboring tables.
Please don't.

The luggage drop off was pretty evident every time I've sailed there but the key to sailing out of Seattle is getting an early check in time. If you don't secure an early check in time then go late. Midday is mad house for check in.

Did you find you preferred one direction over the other?
Not really. Both are memorable.
I'd more likely consider the departure and arrival ports as it relates to flights and hotel stays versus doing the canal in a specific direction.

A quick word about the complimentary parka.
This worked quite well for me. It is a two part design with an inner bubble style jacket that zips into the red waterproof outer shell. I didn't keep mine zippered into the shell, I simply put on the shell over the jacket.
Sizing for me was perfect. I am typically a large ski jacket and this large fit well. I generally wore a long sleeve t-shirt and the Silversea parka on all excursions and I was never cold.
The shell did a great job. Despite being splashed often on zodiac rides I was never wet inside.

This morning while waiting to debark I stopped at the photo studio to inquire if I could post the video from the ship's videographer Justin Duncan.
They indicated it was okay to post the video but suggested I remove any segments that show a guest's face that would be easily recognizable. I have done that and also removed the sound track which would likely cause a copyright issue on Youtube.
This video contains content that was all captured during this voyage. There was no stock footage used or content from another ship or sailing.
No sound:

We've made it to Punta Arenas to refuel so while we wait I'll continue to post.
The short ride to the airport.
They held us on the bus while the aircraft before us taxied out to the runway. Then it was time to walk up to the tarmac to our awaiting plane.
Row 11 has an excellent view... of the engines.
Our plane.
I have the row on my side to myself again.
With flaps extended my view was somewhat obstructed.

Shortly after 6am the first group was called.
Busses waiting for the short ride to the airport.
A final farewell from the crew.
It occurs to me the airport can't handle all four aircraft at the same time. My plane hasn't landed yet.
A final look back at the Silver Wind.
An earlier group prepares to take off.

The video contained content all captured during this cruise. It was amazing and one of items I love about expedition cruising on Silversea.
A USB drive with the video will be left in the cabin during dinner service.

It's nearly 5pm on board and we are gathered in the Show Lounge for our final recap briefing and a video presentation of our voyage.

I have done Northbound and Southbound transits of the Panama Canal.
There is no forward or backwards to the canal. It has always operated in both directions.

Sky class drinks rip off - so stupid
in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Posted
At least you get Sky Class drinks in the lounge from 11am to 11pm on select ships. Not so all ships.
Another makes-no-sense approach to the Royal Suite class program.
