Barbados Luxury Cruises Reviews

We’ve spent the last year “comparing” luxury cruise lines, sailing in the Retreat on Celebrity several times (including the maiden voyage of the new Ascent) and testing out Regent’s brand new Seven Seas Grandeur . . . While we enjoyed them all, we believe our 2 voyages on Seabourn Ovation to be significantly better in almost every respect. The Ovation, launched in 2018, was the “oldest ship” we’ve ...

Top class in almost every respect. Our second Seabourn cruise and this one for 14 days. Public spaces still look classy ( perhaps not the Club which is dark) but our 5th deck cabin's carpet is looking past its best. It was kept immaculately. We could not fault food or service standards. Breakfast is a repeat affair but there's plenty of choice. We really enjoyed Earth and Ocean for dinner. Solis ...

On 17th March 2024 we went on a 14 day Caribbean cruise with Seabourn on Ovation. This review reflects our experience on this new ship. We have previously had two 14 day Caribbean cruises on Seabourn Odyssey. This has greatly affected our views about the new ship and may differ greatly from someone’s views taking their first Seabourn trip. We have previously been extremely impressed with the ...

Overall it was a good cruise . We really liked some things like our cabin. Disliked other things like the lunch buffet at La Veranda . And thought some items were so-so. Like the excursions. I will say the staff and management were excellent. You book this class of ship because you want a smaller ship experience. ie no waiting in lines or fighting for pool chairs . Since the pandemic I have ...

Seabourn Ovation was a very good experience as we like a peaceful cruise, excellent service and do not require many activities. The food and service in the main restaurant has greatly improved since our last cruise and is outstanding. We particularly enjoyed the speciality nights at The Colonade. The new restaurant Solis had just opened. It has a great ambience and spacious seating area but the ...

Wonderful ship, very beautiful and luxurious. Great multi national smiling and efficient crew. Food and wines and entertainment all excellent. Our itinerary was good and the excursions also well,organised and enjoyable. Our issues are with the beginning and end of the cruise. The night before we were taken to Sam Lord’s castle on the east coast of Barbados. It’s the windy side if the island, ...

Regent really delivers luxury and at a high level. Naturally, there are occasional blips but this inevitable and does not take any from the overall experience. The service culture is evident. Management is visible and engaged in daily operations. I had not observed this on other cruise lines. The service staff is well trained, some are working on their english but all are clearly guest ...

We are still onboard the Ovation, coming to the end of our two week cruise. We are in the Wintergarden suite with an adjoining Veranda suite on deck 8. The accomodations are spacious, but showing wear; especially the sofa and dining table. The two chairs in the room are not comfortable chairs for getting cosy and reading. The mattress is worn on one side and there are lots of soft, but lumpy ...

I just sailed on the Seabourn Ovastion with a seven day cruise, everything was as advertised and a great product value for money. The staff members are very attentive to your needs, and the cruise director especially so a lovely lady named Loula Geater was excellent in all facets odf her job. The food was to die for , the Seabourn Square with their cappucinos and lava chocolate chip cookies, the ...

After 4 previous sailings on Celebrity, we wanted to experience "ultra luxury cruising." We are an active couple in our early 70's and often felt that the bulk of activities on board were geared to elderly people preferring a slower pace or being content to read books, play mahjong, bridge and participate in trivia tournaments. The Seabourn Square was an incredibly sleepy area (like being in a ...
