We did arrive a couple of days before the cruise in Buenos Aires. It is a fabulous city to visit and take in the shows.
We have taken 5 cruises on this ship and we just love it. It has the perfect size and the best service and food ever offered in any other cruises. We were also very lucky because the weather was perfect during the whole cruise. I do not think these cruises have much to ...
Amazon River always been a intriguing destination , let alone getting o Manaus from Santiago , Chile is not a simple coordination then of course Brazil rainforest is a unique envirometthat any one would like to observe from a five star cruise ship , my arrival was direct from the airport , the schedule washboard on April 7 and ship overnights 1 night in Manaus so touring Manaus was very helfull ...
This was a once in a lifetime cruise starting in Santiago, Chile….glacial cruising around Cape Horn, Antarctica landings, up the east coast of South America, ending deep in the Amazon in Manaus, Brazil.
For booking, this cruise was forty-two days and technically two back to back cruises on Seabourn Quest, which is reinforced for Antarctica. This was the last summer trip to Antarctica for the ...
I choose the cruise because it enter the Amazon River, in a Buenos Aires to Manaous route. The service is impeccable. The food gourmet. The Staff pleasant in every respect. The University Professors that gave the lectures were first class, instructive, it was obvious they wanted the passengers to learn, and most did want to learn, so it was very pleasurable.
Entertainment was appropriate for a ...
Seabourn Quest – The Seabourn Difference
16.3.19 -7.4.19
Buenos Aires to Manaus
Having cruised with Seabourn on Odyssey, Sojourn and the little ships, we knew what to expect and were not disappointed. We had booked a guarantee cabin or rather suite, as all cabins are known, and ended up fairly midships on deck 4 near the dining room in a quiet location. The balcony cabins are exactly the ...
This was our third Seabourn cruise, second on the Quest and we chose this one because we wanted to see Antarctica. Once again, we entered a world of comfort, luxury and plenty, all delivered with kindness and good humour by the hard working staff and crew. However unlike our previous two Seabourn cruises, we were quite disappointed by the vegetarian food on offer.

Our cabin was on ...
This cruise was a bit off balance due to changes in itinerary as a result of the hurricanes. Short and sweet – 6 nights – 3 sea days followed by 2 nice ports.
Embarkation and disembarkation were fine. We usually spring for a penthouse but because of the duration settled on a ‘normal’ suite. It was absolutely fine. Housekeeping excellent as always with the only criticism being a tad slow ...
I decided that it was time to pick a a more high end small ship to compare to our typical ship on Holland America Line. The Quest is a 400 passenger ship. My wife and I enjoyed the small size. We met a lot of people. It helped to started the trip off knowing about 30 people through Cruise Critic. The ship is nice, cabin is nice size with shower AND tub (which we never used). Double sinks... ...
We took a short six day Caribbean cruise from Miami to Barbados. This was part of a longer cruise to South America. Overall, we really enjoyed our cruise.
We’ve sailed on Silversea, Cunard and Celebrity and we look forward to the dining and the ship’s ambiance; the entertainment is not as important to us.
Embarkation was easy with a short line to check in. We were somewhat surprised there ...
Although still quite good, a two year hiatus from SeaBourn certainly highlighted a decline in service. Corporate "cutting" is evident, with the service especially. As the top end of the Carnival line one would think the bean counters would leave this one alone. Not so. Less servers and less competent (trained?) servers compared to our two Seabourn cruises in winter of 2014. Not saying people ...
