We chose this cruise as we have been meaning to try Seaborn for some time and the itinerary offered some different islands, (even more after the changes because of the hurricanes.) We may well go with Seabourn again, for the right itinerary, but we are by no means 100% converted!

We had already notched up over 20 cruises on nine different lines, mostly in the Caribbean and the Med. I can honestly say that we have never had a bad cruise: there have been one or two indifferent experiences, but the majority have been good, and a few, truly great. For us the difference between a good cruise and a great one is the buzz or energy aboard when everything “gels”. Unfortunately, this was lacking on the Odyssey.

To give Seabourn credit, there are some things they do exceptionally well and we appreciated these - but as we read in other reviews, there are gaps.

Cabin Review

Cabin GUaranteed Veranda Suite

Ver spacious, decor bland, comfortable but prone to engine noise and vibration, and as it is close to the bow, subject to rocking and rolling

Port Reviews

Martinique

Strolled around the town and practised our French

Grenada

a long time favourite, took a cab to the beach, quietest we have ever seen it, bought some spices and enjoyed swimming and relaxing.
