I will not discuss the noticiable drop in service here, just the Covid situation. Seabourn’s attitude is cavalier at best, not even enforcing their own written rules. On day eight of an eleven day cruise, there were seven quarantined rooms on our floor out of 189 passengers on board. Not a peep or warning from company to passengers.

We tried to book a cruise around 6 weeks out and managed to reserve guaranteed suite but flights were not available to book. This was supposedly linked to the move of embarkation from Venice to Ravenna. (didn’t Venice ban cruise ships from 1st August 2021? Why was this a surprise 9 months later?) After another week and calls to Seabourn and TA we were advised that flights could now be booked but ...
Seabourn consistently delivers a luxury experience. The thing that sets Seabourn apart among so many cruise line options is that you never feeling like one in a crowd. Every staff member aboard treats you as though you are the most important person on the ship and they deliver on nearly anything you might request either formally or in some cases a casual mention of something you enjoy will be ...
We sailed on a back to back cruise on the Quest leaving out of Fort Lauderdale for Europe. We had sailed on the Quest nice before a year earlier. With few exceptions we found the ship and staff some of the best we've ever experienced. We always marvel at the personal service and name recognition. How do they do it? We were confidentially told that the staff is quizzed on name recognition ...
My husband and I were on the Seabourn Quest - April 29- May 13- Gems of Western Europe- 14 day cruise.
It was one of the most amazing trips we have ever taken! This was our first cruise with Seabourn. It exceeded our expectations!
By the 2nd day we were greeted by all the staff by our names.
We had previously sailed on Silversea three times. We were always told Seabourn is a little better than ...
Boarded ship in Piraeus, boarding was nice and quick, and soon we were seating in Restaurant2 having a nice lunch with some wine, after being told our bags had arrived in our suite, we then headed to check out our room, which I must say was even better the we expected. Our lovely stewardess Tia arrived to introduce herself and show us around the suite and present our complimentary bottle of ...
Included in the package, the first night spent in the Grande Bretagne Hotel in Athens, overlooking the parliament building, included breakfast on the roof of the building. In the morning passengers had their own taxi to Piraeus.
Upon boarding we were escorted to our suite, where there was a bottle of champagne on ice waiting for us. Some time later we were welcomed by the room girl with a rather ...
We boarded Quest in Piraeous in October. We had booked back to back cruises and the second cruise took us across the Atlantic to Brazil, Uraguay and Argentina. We were thrilled at Piraeous that several staff remembered us from an April 2012 cruise and greeted us at check in. We visited several ports in the Mediterranean including Kusadasi, Patmos, Santorini, Malta, Syracuse, Mahon and Valencia. ...
The Seabourn Quest, a small ship with a maximum of 450 passengers, having several dining venues. One can eat on deck, weather permitting, go to Restaurant 2 with a reservation, or the Colonade which serves all three meals or lastly, the main dining room which one should avoid, not for the quality of the food, but for the helter skelter service where one can expect to dine for 3 or more hours. Wine ...
Having experienced indifferent/poor service and food on Silverseas Shadow, I am very very pleased to report that Seabourn Quest has restored our confidence in 6 star cruising.
Having enjoyed 5 Seabourn cruises in the last 8 years we were worried that standards might have slipped. Happily this wasn't the case - our 10 day cruise in the Med was excellent (though two of the ports were less than ...
