This review is for Crystal Cruise “refugees” looking for a new cruise line. We were very happy with Crystal but needed a new “home” when Crystal went bankrupt. We picked Seabourn and this is our review of our cruise on the Seabourn Quest. If you do not want to read to the end, we think you will be happy with Seabourn
Some differences relate to the ship size; the Quest had 440 guests, while ...
First a general word of caution: Seabourn have announced that they will focus on their expedition business, and they have started selling off their ocean going ships one at a time. The Odyssey has already been sold to leave Seabourn in August 2024. My wife and I sailed on Seabourn Legend a few months before it was handed over to Windstar in 2015. All experienced staff had left the ship and ...
It is great to be cruising again, this is our 6th post Covid cruise. This was our second Seabourn post covid cruise. the others on Odyssey plus Crystal (pre bankruptcy), Oceania, and Regent.
What attracted us to Encore was this itinerary which most cruise lines do NOT undertake -- both the Greek and Turkish riviera with many small islands like Kos, Kas, Cesme, Mykonos, Cyprus, plus Bodrum, ...
My wife and I have sailed with Seabourn many times and were looking forward to our post-pandemic cruise. However, we were disappointed with the level of service provided by Seabourn and it is definitely not at the superior quality the cruise line used to offer.
First off, the wait staff in the dining areas are all great and diligent as before and so are the cabin service personnel. However, ...
Let’s start with a disclaimer. We are strong Seabourn advocates. We have sailed on Seabourn for years and have spent more than 500 nights aboard Seabourn Ships.
That being said, this review will be honest and we will share with you the good and fair on our trip. You will notice we did not use the word “bad”. The reason for us not using this word, is that we have had no bad experiences on this ...
Our first time on Seabourn but not our last. Loved the ship, the outside eating spaces, the delicious food, the staff, the crew …. We are now spoiled for any other line. Relax or be busy, dress up or don’t. This is the cruise line for us. Worth every penny. We met lovely people of all nationalities. We enjoyed the food and the entertainment. Shout out to the cruise director Aimee, the wonderful ...
We have been Seabourn cruisers since 2014 and have always found them to be excellent and well worth the premium price. We returned from a 16 day cruise to the Caribbean and were horrified at our experience. The only good aspect was the quality of the food and the variety of the menus; however, the vaunted Thomas Keller Grill badly disappointed and the overall staffing of the ship was abysmal. We ...
This was our first experience on Seabourn. We selected the cruise based on the itinerary that included Petra Jordan.
Our cabin and cabin attendants were wonderful.
The food in most of the restaurants was mediocre and bland n terms of flavors. Each restaurant has many choices which change daily so there is a great variety of food in each restaurant.
It didn't matter which restaurant we ...
Terrific in Every Way. Fine build. Superb crew.
Excellent services. Perfect Food. Only The shore excursions fell down. Overall, tho pricey, an excellent value. The service was thoughtful and not over the top. They were present, but not obnoxiously so we liked the fact that we could usually control the cabin temperature, and that the housekeeping worked around our schedule social activities ...
For our anniversary cruise, my wife and I chose Seabourn Ovation and a 7 day Mediterranean trip. The ship is very well appointed and while upscale it felt comfortable and welcoming to us. The embarkation process in Civitavecchia (Rome) was very easy and quick. We were in our cabin within a few minutes of arriving at the dock. Our suite host and cabin attendant welcomed us and provided helpful ...
