I recently travelled with Seabourn Sojourn and my expectations were very high as I had heard only good things about this cruise line. The cruise went from Buenos Aires to Manaus.

Seabourn prides itself on service and this was excellent.

I found the dining options on the ship very restrictive and it was difficult to find healthy food choices outside of mealtimes. The dining room did not open for breakfast before 8am on sea days and if you wanted to find something healthy to eat you could either order room service or wait till the dining room opened. The food choices in the coffee centre were the same every day, there was a variety of items but the choice was exactly the same every day. I was assured that the the muffins were baked fresh daily. The bread that was served in the restaurants lacked variety and was mostly white or maybe whole wheat, and the bagels were only white. There was a small assortment of some other types of bread but unremarkable in taste or appearance. There were daily choices for breakfast but nothing special, one day a chef prepared eggs to order, otherwise if was the buffet or you could order from the menu. Food at the bar pool also offered several items but they tended to be all the same, the same type of salad, the same appetizers etc. I did enjoy tapas in the Observation bar at 6pm. Dinners in the dining room were good with several choices and Restaurant 2 was very good, serving a variety of food in smaller portions. Read more
