Had previous safe trips but this one was horrible. Not only injured but upon return home was advised by ship insurance carrier that we required tons of previous medical information in order to obtain satisfaction for injuries and loss of ship use for 10 days after injury. Tender was ordered to stop operations after my injury but should have happened in advance. Lack of security to stop Tender ...
Honeymoon We had a PH for 4 weeks. My parents joined us on 4th Jan. My 82 old mum was ill for the last days of the trip and was disembarked by ambulance to a hosp in Barbados on 18/01 thereby missing flt back to the UK. My 83 old dad has dementia. My mum was discharged today and has been pronounced fit to fly by the doctor after suffering with pulmonary congestion. My problem is this, we booked ...
We chose this cruise as we had so enjoyed a fantastic trip with Seabourn Quest in 2016. We wanted to skip a month of Winter and be spoilt whilst doing it.
To rate it 3 stars seems mean, but the trouble is parts of the cruise were 2 star and parts were 4, never did it achieve the 6 stars it clams to be!
Embarkation was a little shambolic, but it was Barbados, so we were not surprised. ...
We sailed to the Caribbean for the weather. On the whole it was lovely weather. We chose Seabourn Odyssey for dates and itinerary.
Embarkation in Barbados was not well organized; there was not a SB Rep indicating that the line to board the port shuttles to the ship should be kept inside...it was raining and people were queuing outside, as per port reps. More than 50 people waited for the ...
Preface:
I travel extensively throughout the USA, Europe and Asia. After doing some research on the Seabourn Odyssey, my wife and I decided to take a Caribbean vacation (without our kids).
Before getting into the details, I want to commend the crew, a fine group of people who did their best to provide a good experience.
The Ship: (Tired, Can't Handle any Swells)
The Odyssey is small, ...
Overall, we had a great cruise through the Panama Canal on Seabourn Odyssey. Foreign trips are never perfect, and this one was not. But we found much to praise and little to criticize on Odyssey. We left Los Angeles on Jan. 6th, and spent a day each in Cabo San Lucas, Huatulco, Puerto Chiapas, Puerto Quetzal, Puntarenas, Portobelo and Cartagena. We spent a long day going through the Panama Canal. ...
After a terrible cruise on the Mariner with Regent of the Seven Seas we returned to Seabourn hoping that it still was the best cruise line we had ever been on, we were not disappointed, there have been some cutbacks as with all cruise lines but not enough to have a big impact on the services, and yes as many of the seasoned crew were on the new Explorer there were some delays in service but these ...
I have often repositioned from Europe where I live, to the United States to visit my family...I must say that the Seabourn Odyssey ranked tops in almost every category.
I have only paid to cruise a few times as I normally am at work bringing guests onto the ships, and cruising as the Tour Manager, not as the Cruise Director....
I have heard reviews about 45 minute long deliveries of Coke ...
My wife and I have sailed with Seabourn many times...almost always on the Odyssey. Until this cruise we were always happy and dedicated to the Seabourn family. That is no longer true. They have changed upper level management and could not care less if you were happy...only that you paid. Our stateroom was in need of new carpet, the food was poorly prepared and always over salted by a untrained ...
We wanted to try a trans-Atlantic cruise just because....
It was wonderful. We took a southerly route and in spite of the season (December!) we spent each day at the pool or walking about the ship, or just sitting out on our balcony reading. It took a little time to realize we could have what ever we wanted, when ever we wanted it! This kind of pampering is not normal. And it was all done ...
