My husband and I joined friends we'd previously met on a smaller ship (Seabourn Spirit departing Singapore to Dubai in 2008). We decided to try the newer, larger ship the Seabourn Sojourn and thoroughly loved it. The best part for me was the large area called Seabourn Square with coffee bar, library, computer center and concierge services. Everyone seemed to gather there often just for a chat and read the morning papers over coffee, which by the way, was pretty good. This is a fantastic idea especially if you just want some "alone" time or want to get up early and not disturb your partner.
Staff and bar staff were fabulous - couldn't fault anyone.
Restaurant staff and food great.
Great suite with balcony. V1 - V6 rooms are all the same so it doesn't really matter what deck you are on. The whole ship is very quiet and people are encouraged not to disturb their neighbours. Not one complaint about noise. Didn't find the balcony that much of an advantage as we were travelling in very hot humid weather so never really opened the door much.
