The Seabourn Pursuit was on a reposition cruise from Miami to Barbados, before heading on to the Amazon and eventually Antarctica. Since the ports were typical Caribbean, and the ship was in non expedition mode, I will focus on the ship itself.
Pros:
-The Ship: impressive sleek design, Seabourn really took a step forward with many elements.
-Lounges: Ship was very spacious, never felt ...
The 2 week cruise we took on Ovation around the Caribbean in March was our first on Seabourn. We had previously done 25 cruises with other lines. It certainly lived up to our expectations in terms of added luxury. Our standard level suite was well appointed with a beautiful bathroom and good sized balcony. There was a sense of space in all the public rooms and on deck. We enjoyed being able ...
We have gone on many cruises over the years but mostly on the main stream ships (HAL, Royal, Celebrity, etc.). Last year we tried Azamara for the smaller ship experience and loved it. So this year we thought we’d try the more upscale luxury lines and see how they stack up and how we like them. So we started with Seabourn in March. We’re also going on Regent Seven Seas in June, Atlas Expedition in ...
We were looking for an all inclusive, luxury ocean cruise in the Caribbean and selected the 10-day Seabourn Ovation cruise from Barbados to Miami. The Ovation is a beautiful, well-designed ship with attractive and comfortable public areas. Though we were booked in the lowest category veranda suite on deck 5, it was the best stateroom we ever had on a cruise ship. Spacious with plenty of ...
We started cruising with Seabourn 25 years ago and have never changed lines since. What defined the experience for us was the ability to truly relax because you knew that the team would take care of you. For example, you wouldn't have to worry about your coffee being cold, or finding a vacant lounger, or being seated promptly at the MDR. This cruise was different. Unfortunately. For the first ...
Using numbered bullet points in no best order because they were all great, with simple honest direct words for you to determine my meaning this is my review.
Seabourn Ovation:
1. Pretty much all of the Crew were - Professional; polite, respectful and genuinely wanting you to have a safe, secure and ...
We have been Seabourn cruisers since 2014 and have always found them to be excellent and well worth the premium price. We returned from a 16 day cruise to the Caribbean and were horrified at our experience. The only good aspect was the quality of the food and the variety of the menus; however, the vaunted Thomas Keller Grill badly disappointed and the overall staffing of the ship was abysmal. We ...
Missed our flight because of problems with Seabourn's ticketing issue. Despite the website's claim of 24 hr. customer service, there was no one to speak to @ 5:00am from our airport. We found our own flights & met the ship already one day out. My husband, a physician, contracted NOROVIRUS on board. NO food handler wore gloves on the ship or at a ship sponsored beach BBQ (which included caviar ...
My husband & I have over 300 days on Seabourn and lots of wonderful memories. This cruise was not one of them.
From Embarkation to Disembarkation it was certainly not a 6 Star experience. Embarkation was a joke totally disorganized. We were originally given a 4pm time and got that changed to 12.30. The hall was packed at 12.15 - at least 3/4 of the guests were there waiting.
The service ...
Our November 2022 Caribbean cruise on the Seabourn Sojourn left us resentful and angry. We had been Seabourn fanatics, enjoying cruises with them about twice a year and proclaiming Seabourn THE best experience available. We had a typically fabulous Seabourn cruise in November 2021, post-pandemic, with everything up to standards and wonderful. As such, we booked the exact same cruise for the fall ...
