Although we were first time cruise people we have travelled extensively.
I had read some adverse reviews about the Seabourn Spirit and was a bit apprehensive about our trip before boarding. However, this was quickly resolved as soon as we neared the ship and the Seabourn service and courtesy came into play.
We sailed from Venice and our water taxi was met by waiting staff to help with luggage, this was although we had not notified that we were arriving. The arrival procedures were extremely easy and handled with great efficiency.
Our cabin was a verandah suite, overall it was very roomy and well furnished. Plenty of cupboard space and drawers, a safe provided and plenty of hangers for the clothes.
The rooms were very quiet, no noises at all from the hallways or surrounds.
We had wonderful views from our open doors throught the trip.
