I choose this trip because It was a good introduction of this expedition new ship from Seabourn , this would be my third cruise on Seabourn which I was very impress with their service and overall quality in the past 2 cruises especially for what you pay for , my cruise was only 7 days from Buenos Aire to Rio , unfortunately I was to do the Iquitos to Manaus but this was canceled , the ship came in to Buenos Aires with no stabilizer working , since they were damage and their for making the trip not as high tech comfortable as its was intended to be , Venture Is beautiful and designed is for cold climates , how ever for me personally I do enjoy a full size pool and its a deal breaker the bow jaccuzzy which in this class expeditionary has been voided making the bow just a view platform during daylight if weather permited , not my passion if your redirected to the stern all the time , I found it to be understaff , their was no glamour , no caviar , no Thomas Keller , the interior I found it to be cold on design and it was lacking entertainment , yes no shows , no casino just , your limited on tis to do , you can’t be eating all the time but that was it .. my cabin was on deck 7 and that was very nice and even better than the larger ships of seabourn , It only takes a few negative points in services to makes a negative review . How ever I like to point out that embarkation in Buenos Aires was beyond superb in less than 10 minutes I was on my cabin . Hopefully Seabourn outs their signature bow Jacuzzi on this expedition , since their pool leaves a lot to be desire , the food looks nice on the plate but taste less and dining services was well attended at the restaurants , but the food was not that tasty
