This cruise was spectacular. We typically cruise Regent and have done Viking Ocean and Celebrity, but we can say without a doubt that this trip was over the top fabulous. The food was the best and most consistent we've had at sea, the service was impeccable, the ship was spotless, the ambience and care taken to every detail was amazing. We have never done a cooler weather cruise before but we ...
There is much to like about Seabourn's fall foliage cruise provided you don't encounter a hurricane (Dorian) and have to forego Prince Edward Island and opt instead for 2 nights in St. John New Brunswick, an unscheduled port where it rained sideways. The captain was cautious, and when we read about the power outages in PEI and the hurricane-related problems in Halifax, we felt good about ...
We wanted something smaller and more upscale than Royal Caribbean, and with few or no children.
Okay, here's the good, the bad and the ugly about Seabourn.
Good: Boarding is a BREEZE. We walked straight on after checking in.
Debarkation likewise, a breeze.
Staterooms: amazing. Best beds I've ever slept on on a cruise. Bathroom roomy. Pillows!
Food is mostly ...
Seabourn used to be really good. No longer. Food quality is not much better than the lower priced lines. Service not as good as before. Ship a bit run down. Entertainment just ok. We expected really superior service and dining from Seabourn. That is no longer the case.
We were really looking forward to this cruise, having had a really nice cruise with this cruise line some years ago. They ...
This was our first Seabourn cruise...and our last. Past sailings have been on Oceania and I regret this trip was not with them, as well. I will repeat another review in saying the food was a huge disappointment for all the upscale hype associated with Seabourn. The selection of items lacked variety and portions were incredibly small. Size of portion is more appropriate for a ten year old. It was ...
We are regular Seabourn cruisers going every couple of years . We are shocked by the dumbing down since the new owners have taken over. Food is so boring and repetitive . No interesting food, no innovation . Just Meat or fish on a plate . Limited food options, Collonade has choice of two items only per night, and half the time you have to book for this mediocre experience , restaurant 2 which was ...
I'm a travel writer and although I've been on several cruises, [I'm not an avid cruiser]; I will say that this cruise was nice. Almost all of the crew were great, the ship clean and well maintained. There were certainly parts of this cruise that we enjoyed very much; but for the cost of the cruise you should enjoy it, and be treated very well. This review is not about the ports, which were ...
A sad omen for our cruise occurred when we heard an announcement on the PA system from the captain, "All Staff, Code Oscar" indicating a passenger overboard. Within the first few hours of the cruise, a passenger was overboard (reportedly a suicide). Of course that is not the ship's fault, but the event started the cruise off on a very sad note. Much less serious but detracting from the cruise ...
Had an amazing time with great fellow guests.
Service was good
Cabins very good,
Décor throughout the ship was bland and beginning to show signs of wear.
No fresh flower displays.
Drinks we plentiful which dulled the senses before and during the slightly disappointing meals.
Restaurant 1 was like dining in a canteen( food was OK though).
Restaurant 2 was badly decorated, dark and gloomy ...
