This was our second cruise but our first Seabourn cruise. We chose this cruise based on the destination and Seaboun's reputation. We were not disappointed in either. We traveled with two other couples, one who had been on Seabourn previously. We found the size and layout of the ship to be excellent. The public areas were comfortable and we always found someplace nice to spend some time both inside and out. We enjoyed all of the bars, however we found the Observation Bar too smoky after dinner.

The service throughout the ship was excellent, whether it was help with the internet (which could sometimes be a problem), making shore excursion plans, or future Seabourn travel. Our room Stewardess was delightful.

Food - fantastic! The Colonnade breakfasts were everything we could want. We had breakfast in the Restaurant one day and found the service slow. We had room service twice (breakfast and dinner) and found the service and food both good. Dinners in the Restaurant were outstanding. We booked Restaurant 2 for one evening and it was a special experience. The two dinners we had in the Colonnade were excellent as well. The special meals - Chef's Market Lunch and the "Crew on Deck" - were super. Lunches at the Patio Grill were good. Our only complaint was that there is often not enough seating (especially on "Team Trivia" days) and that on the few cold days when Patio Grill was our only option after a late tour, there was no place inside to sit where it was warm.

Cabin Review

Veranda Suite

Cabin V1

Our cabin was large, had great storage, and everything that we needed. The closet and drawer space was great and we were able to store our luggage under the beds. The table in the cabin was a bit inconvenient for dining as the chairs are too low - we had to sit on pillows to be high enough. The veranda furniture was changed out when we were in Melbourne near the end of the cruise. The new chairs and foot rests are comfortable but the table is too small for dining. The bathroom is very nice and larger than most cruise ships. The dressing table outside the bathroom is a welcome feature.
