Great cruise with Seabourn with minor critique
"One reason is who ever designed the suites well might have been a mazochist since the air vent for the ac is right over the bed and no matter how much fiddling around I did it kept me up all night, the beds could also be a little comfier.BUt as I wrote those a minor issues, Seabourn has an excellent following amongst its fans, I have become another one of them, since I booked another cruise for my birthday in September from Dubrovnik to Athens on the Ovation's sister ship the..."Read More

We are still onboard the Ovation, coming to the end of our two week cruise. We are in the Wintergarden suite with an adjoining Veranda suite on deck 8. The accomodations are spacious, but showing wear; especially the sofa and dining table. The two chairs in the room are not comfortable chairs for getting cosy and reading. The mattress is worn on one side and there are lots of soft, but lumpy ...

I just sailed on the Seabourn Ovastion with a seven day cruise, everything was as advertised and a great product value for money. The staff members are very attentive to your needs, and the cruise director especially so a lovely lady named Loula Geater was excellent in all facets odf her job. The food was to die for , the Seabourn Square with their cappucinos and lava chocolate chip cookies, the ...

I cruise a variety of luxury lines, usually based on itinerary. Though I prefer somewhat longer cruises, as part of extended travel, I worked in this short Seabourn (SB) cruise relatively short-notice, to give SB another try after some disappointing experiences on the smaller ships. I was pleased with the improvements and efforts, and am happy I retried SB on the Ovation this year. Though the ...

We were looking for an all inclusive, luxury ocean cruise in the Caribbean and selected the 10-day Seabourn Ovation cruise from Barbados to Miami. The Ovation is a beautiful, well-designed ship with attractive and comfortable public areas. Though we were booked in the lowest category veranda suite on deck 5, it was the best stateroom we ever had on a cruise ship. Spacious with plenty of ...

Haphazard service among all dining venues. Disappointing.

We started cruising with Seabourn 25 years ago and have never changed lines since. What defined the experience for us was the ability to truly relax because you knew that the team would take care of you. For example, you wouldn't have to worry about your coffee being cold, or finding a vacant lounger, or being seated promptly at the MDR. This cruise was different. Unfortunately. For the first ...

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 ...

Not having cruised to the extent of some others, we have previously sailed with Silverseas and Oceania and so do have something to compare with. Firstly, the good: Embarking in Hong Kong it was really nice to have our luggage already in our cabin by the time we got there, which was less than 15 minutes from kerbside drop-off! The cabin was very spacious ( V5 grade ) with the benefit of a ...

We belong to the Frank Family Wine group, which chose a cruise on the Ovation in January 2020. Overall, the cruise was very good. The personnel are very friendly and, for the most part, efficient. Our statement was spacious, though a little narrow. Our room steward, who was very friendly and who tried to please, at times missed some basics. For example, once she forgot to leave us any bath ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary which included a stop in the outer Hebrides and the Orkney Islands. The ship is very nice though the design is odd. A good half a dozen times we encountered other passengers who joked about being lost / felt confused by the layout. The pool area creates a separation between cabins, and not in a good way. The enrichment activities on this cruises weren't ...

I choose this ship for two reasons. One I liked the itinerary and two I wanted to try a luxury cruise line. The itinerary was good in that it started in Stockholm allowing me to spend two days before departure exploring the city without rushing and it ended in Copenhagen where I did the same thing. It also included two overnights ( 3 full days) in St. Petersburg where there is so much to see. I ...
