This was my first Seabourn cruise, having previously sailed with Crystal one can't help comparing experiences. However, there is little I can say about Seabourn that would compare favourably, or entice me to sail with Seabourn in the future.
Overall it was a dull experience, I did not find the ship to be well laid out, I found the decor bland, ceilings low, generally lacking in colour with virtually no art to brighten it up or give a point of interest or feel of luxury.
While they provide al fresco evening dining, it is by the swimming pool and they make no effort to dress the area from daytime to evening and so the tables are left left bare of table clothes with no lanterns, table lighting, or flowers, to create an atmospheric dining experience.
It was just OK, not I think worth the extra cost over a veranda suite. But the young lady who serviced the suite was highly efficient.
