Seabourn cabin

Hi

I am new to cruising as this will be our first cruise. We are booked on the Seabourn Quest from 13 May 2017 for 7 days travelling to the Northern part of Europe.

We are booked in the middle of the ship room 532, would we be better having a room at the front of the ship on level 6 instead?

Has anyone been at that time of year to know if the waters are calm and what the weather is like?

Thank you for any assistance would be great

Welcome to Seabourn!

Firstly, may i suggest that as a new cruiser to SB you visit the referral board at the top of the page and so that one of us can refer you and you can recieve an on board credit of $400.

Secondly, i would stick exactly where you are. Midships and low down is the best postion if you have not cruised before or are prone to travel sickness. You will find alot more movement at the front of the ship, so for your first time cruising I would say that you are in a good spot. The only issue i would foresee, and. It is negligable is that fifth floor rooms have a partially solid balcony and sixth floor have glass. However, if it is between a stable,comfortable passage on five and a sixth floor front position i would stick with five. That is unless you can get a midships sixth location.

To add weather should be calm in may, but you never can guarantee?

532 is an excellent location. We have had that cabin several times - it's close to the laundry rooms if you want to do your own laundry and it's close to the stairs to get off the ship when the gangway is on deck 4.

Also has 532 on Odyssey and it was great position wise. When you say Northern Europe do you mean the Baltic or Norway. The Baltic is pretty enclosed so fairly calm. The outside coast of Norway can be a bit rougher.

Lucky you choosing Seabourn for your first cruise. You will have a lovely time surrounded by charming fellow passengers, and a crew of happy, helpful souls. Welcome.

I would just like to say thank to all that have advised us , we will happily stay mid ship level 5.

Thank you for your advise re the referral board, but all this is very new to me and I cannot find it or how to do it.

Would it be possible if you could just give instruction for a dummy would be great.

At the top of the Seabourn board listing all of the threads you will see something that says " stickies" -- click on that and you will see one of the options is the Referral Thread. This is where you want to post to secure a $400 OBC Referral coupon.

I agree 532 is a good suite, convenient to the club, MDR, and midship.

shyla100,

532 is a good location. You are aware that the balconies on deck 5 are half steel half glass which somewhat obscures the view from inside the suite. Balconies on Deck 6 are all glass. Most people do not care but it is something to consider.
