Cabin: Veranda Suite

We choose this cruise because of ports and timing. From the very beginning we experienced a "bait and switch" operation that iwas littered with Nickle/Dime items. Brochures offer a 3 cabin upgrade yet none were available upon booking; a month before the cruise I received an upsell for the same upgrade at $1000 per passenger. The ships tenders as much as possible to save port fees and offers no shuttles in large ports.Ships depart early to save $. The captain changed a port saying that there was bad weather, but the internet proved otherwise.

Suites are the best part of the ship with well lit spaces, The bathrooms are well designed, and nicely appointed. There is an abundance of electrical outlets throughout the suite, both 110 and 220.

Internet is the usual slow at sea , but not really terrible. Seabourn is the only line that does not give passengers free time.

Cabin Review

Veranda Suite

Cabin V3

great cabins with an abundance of outlets. The drapes provide a blackout for great sleep. Beds are comfortable and sheets are a bit scratchy.
