April 16-23, 2006 -- Overall this cruise and cruise line far exceeded my expectations, and my expectations were set high!

SeaDream I is one of two small ships/large yachts in the luxury class of cruise lines. At 55 cabins with a staff to guest ratio of almost one to one, this is a luxury yachting experience. This is an all-inclusive line where almost everything is included in the price of the voyage making it well priced when you compare it to the price of a voyage combined with the on-board extras on other lines.

Embarkation: Having been on very large ships and on the Windsurf (306 passengers) I was excited to board SeaDream I (SDI) in San Juan. We dropped off our bags at 1 pm without any hassles and then returned about 2:15 to a very small line and a personalized greeting. We obtained our room keys (in a beautiful leather bi-fold pouch) then had our carry-on bags carried onboard for us by smiling crew members. We were met on board our beautiful ship with tall flutes of good champagne and led to our cabin (ours was 415 next to the spa). Within 2 minutes our other luggage arrived. How great is that! And in our room was a chilled bottle of Perrier Jouet champagne! Read more
