We are a couple in our mid sixties who have longed to go to Antarctica but hesitated as one of us is inclined to sea sickness. However with modern stabiliser technology, newer ships and larger ships the decision was made to go as we felt our window of opportunity to do it while in good health was closing.
The ship is magnificent, nothing is too much trouble from a service perspective and the ...
My spouse and I sailed on the Seabourn Quest – “21 Day Ultimate Antarctica and Patagonia”, from January 12, 2017 through February 2, 2017. Anyone that has sailed with Seabourn knows the trips are ridiculously expensive and should expect to receive exceptional service and the trip you expected. We enjoyed our experience but are disappointed that Seabourn reduced the Antarctic portion of our cruise ...
We took this cruise as Antarctica was on our bucket list and we were not disappointed. The cruise left from Buenos Aires and the terminal and embarkation were great, no problems We did miss our stop in the Falklands Islands due to bad weather in the Drake passage. despite the bad weather the trip wasn't too bad but maybe is not for 1st time cruisers. Our cabin was great good view and large ...
We have taken other long cruises and most are much better value for money. This ship takes 400 passengers, so does not have the quality of entertainment that a larger ship offers. There were several speakers on nature topics, but often at times that were not convenient, so we didn't attend. The female onboard photographer was "cool" when asked specific questions. I thought it was just me, but ...
Although still quite good, a two year hiatus from SeaBourn certainly highlighted a decline in service. Corporate "cutting" is evident, with the service especially. As the top end of the Carnival line one would think the bean counters would leave this one alone. Not so. Less servers and less competent (trained?) servers compared to our two Seabourn cruises in winter of 2014. Not saying people ...
We chose the Seabourn because friends of ours had already booked the cruise. We had heard wonderful things about the cruise line and were anticipating an exceptional experience. Unfortunately the weather was not in our favor and we had to for go a lot of exploring in Quebec, which is a beautiful city. We had to also miss one of the ports we were looking forward to , Bar Harbor Maine due to ...
This was a 14 day cruise from Montreal to Miami with a nice itinerary which we took on Seabourn to if it remained a premium line.
Background: 70 yr. old married couple with over 400 cruising days on 12 different lines in the last 10 years or so. We were on Seabourn when it was an independent line, no Carnival.
Best: The ship. Very attractive, clean, modern ship. Very sterile in appearances, ...
I chose this cruise based on itinerary and the belief that Seabourn was a top of the line cruise experience. We were able to secure an upgrade an ended up with a Penthouse Suite. The accommodations are excellent. The room far exceeded expectations. The bathroom was large with a separate room for the toilet which included its own basin. Very private and nice. There was a jetted tube and the lovely ...
I have to start out by saying this was our 5th Seabourn Cruise and our second Montreal to Ft. Lauderdale cruise with Seabourn. We did the same cruise last year with near perfect fall like weather in very port. This year's weather was not our friend. It was in the 30's to 40's, cold and rainy most of the time in Canada all the way down to our first day and night in New York. Yet, we loved both ...
I'm a travel writer and although I've been on several cruises, [I'm not an avid cruiser]; I will say that this cruise was nice. Almost all of the crew were great, the ship clean and well maintained. There were certainly parts of this cruise that we enjoyed very much; but for the cost of the cruise you should enjoy it, and be treated very well. This review is not about the ports, which were ...
