Barbados Luxury Cruises Reviews

We're an active, mid-forties, couple who enjoy the freedom to holiday how we want. Seabourn is a significant misfit for people like us. First of all, there were no people like us on the boat. In five days, we think we at least saw everybody once. There was one other couple our age and they were feeling the same as we did, like misfits. The average age of this cruise couldn't have been less ...

We chose Seabourn Ovation as we wanted a small ship, quality cruise without too much formality and found the perfect match with Seabourn. We have read some other recent reviews and are at a loss to understand some of the negative and insulting comments that have been made, certainly it was not a floating retirement home when we were on board, although granted it does have a higher proportion of ...

This was our first Silver Sea cruise and despite the bad reviews I read here we absolutely loved it. We are seasoned Celebrity travelers so that could be why. We came from Celebrity Suite previously and I thought the food and service on Silver Sea was just as good as anything we had on Celebrity. It makes a big difference when there are only 340 passengers and 300 crew members. Service was top ...

4 1/2 stars. We were a couple with a B2 balcony on the E Caribbean cruise and had sailed on sister ship Regatta in Fr Polynesia roughly a year earlier (recommended). I think the 'overview' description of both ships as being smaller and therefore 'quieter' with fewer activities is really useful for first-timers to understand. It's true that the passenger profile skews older but we met (and met ...

I didn’t read the reviews before going on this voyage so wanted to keep an open mind. We have done 19 plus cruises to date. We are a 41 year old couple. The cruise did not live up to what I expected. Let me highlight the details. 1. Jacuzzi on deck 9 is falling apart and peeling. 2. Don’t expect any service at the pool. Front jacuzzi on deck 9 is all self service. Would be nice if ...

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 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 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 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 ...

The cabin was comfortable and spacious in comparison to other standard cabins. Mattresses and bed linen are top notch. The bathroom toilet and shower were in separate stalls and quite spacious. The double sinks were a nice touch. However, our shower door leaked streams of water on the floor every time we showered. We reported it the second day and it was still leaking 3 days later. We reported it ...
