We chose this cruise because of very good past experiences on Seabourn, particularly on the 210 passenger “little sisters”.
When they introduced the larger (450 passenger) ships the loss of the country club ambiance was significant. One glaring but understandable change was the dramatically reduced use of passenger’s names, it was a very common and pleasant feature on the smaller ships but it ...
A Seabourn on-board credit of $250 @ guest was provided for on-going pool deck area and pool repairs with patio restaurant interruption. In our opinion, the compensation offered was inadequate for the scope of repairs and interruption.
Seabourn's response to our survey review on this inadequaecy included the following:
"We ... apologize for the onboard maintenance on Deck 8 that disturbed ...
This was our 1st cruise on Seabourn. We had heard great things from people we met on other cruises about Seabourn and wanted to give it a try. We live in Asia so the 21 day Kobe Japan to Alaska cruise sounded great. We flew to Osaka and took the high speed ferry across to Kobe. Stayed one night in Kobe and headed for Kyoto the next day on the train. A little rainy but had a great time in Kyoto ...
Seabourn is the ultimate experience. Worth every cent. Staff are superb and you just can’t go past Seabourn. It is the only cruise line for us now. I have never enjoyed a cruise or any holiday as much as the 21 days on Seabourn from Kobe to Vancouver. The dining was perfect. Loved the patio area and the cocktails. Even on a cold night it was great and staff spoiled us with plush orange snuggly ...
This 6 night cruise from Bali to Darwin was our 24th cruise with various Cruise Company’s. We had high (but not unrealistic) expectations for our 1st Seabourn cruise and the Sojourn excelled in every area. The Staff were the friendlies, whilst still being very professional, we have ever encountered. This made for a very relaxed and social atmosphere on board between the Staff and passengers. ...
Cabin and Sailing
We both really enjoy sailing with Seabourn, however it must be said that we are starting to see a few cracks in the wall apart from the service which continues in our mind to be 110%
Subsequent to our 2017 sailing in Alaska with the mini refit in December we were rather disappointed.
The pool deck after we were advised had been replaced remained faulty and was at one ...
Our 3rd SB cruise and it just gets better and better! Embarkation was faultless and quick, lunch in the Colonnade awaited us and we sat and had a leisurely lunch then straight to our cabin for unpacking.
From then on, it was all just a fabulous time. After an independent tour in Rio, we had 5 straight sea days before we reached Tristan da Cunha. Being able to visit the remotest inhabited ...
We normally sail on Crystal, however we were told how nice Seabourn is so we decided to give it a try. It is so underwhelming and disappointing.
Stateroom-
Suite is very nice. Large and luxurious with lots of storage. I would have given it 5 stars except for the antiquated small tv.
Food-
Nothing special and definitely lacking creativity. Menu is the same in everyday in all dining ...
I know the caribbean was hit by hurricanes last year.. our stops in San Juan and Martinique were a joke.. The entire towns were both closed .. Nothing and I mean nothing was open .. The small town(Ille De Trois) on Martinique was supposed to be really nice and get us away from Fort De France where the regular ships dock.. But there was nothing to do on shore.
Now for the food.. unremarkable ...
Each ship has its own personality. Having said that as much as we loved this cruise, and we did, the cruise wasn’t as great as sailing on the Quest.
This was our 6th cruise on Seabourn and the second ship in its fleet we have sailed on.
A bit of background. We seldom take cruises under 30 days. We broke with our tradition in that this was 14 day and a holiday cruise to boot. This trip served ...
