Please email me at jag60uk at yahoo dot com.  Please note that you cannot be receiving OBC from any other source. Thanks.

Hi. Re the above our next cruise will now be in April 2024 so any new Seabourn cruisers who sail before that date I would be happy to refer you.

Because that was the date of my cruise for which I would also receive OBC. As it happens our cruise is now going to be later so if you would like me to refer you please send me an email.

Not present at embarkation. Programmed some of the same entertainment for both weeks of a B2B cruise. Even told the same introductory stories. Forgot to mention the Housekeeping team at the Farewell event. Encouraged the rowdier elements with late night discos in The Club. Took pride in announcing amount of champagne drunk (which received cries of disgust from other seasoned cruisers). Need I go on?

Yes, we experienced something similar on our Quest cruise in April. In the second week of 2 B2Bs the atmosphere changed completely when 200 Belgian guests from two travel clubs descended on the ship. Completely took over the pool area and all keen to get as much for their reduced cruise price as they could. Cruise Director (the woeful David Price) proudly announced that in that week over 5 times the usual amount of champagne had been drunk and I’m pretty sure the same would have been true of the caviar. I think 7 day cruises are becoming too much of a lottery to book in the future.

We were on the Quest for two weeks earlier this month and found the Restaurant meals very unexciting and repetitious. The Chef’s Special menu was exactly the same both weeks on a B2B cruise! We didn’t enjoy it the first time round so had to order from the Classics menu. Had to send back three meals. We’re experienced Seabourn sailors who always eat in The Restaurant,

Hi. The MDR wasn’t open for breakfast and lunch as is usual for cruises 7 days or less (this was a back to back). Didn’t visit The Club but quite a few dancing at Ross’s disco outside The Club which took place 2 nights a week. Went to the shows. Evidently first shows sparsely attended some nights (35 one night) but reasonable attendance at second shows.

Here are just a few observations from our recent Encore cruise :-

444 on board first week; 380 the second week.

Noticeably more younger couples. Some large family groups including several young children.

Next to no guests wore masks in any situation.

Lucky to have Ross as CD. He’s on board until end of July. Luperci, the ACD, to be CD on the Venture from November.
 

Guest 50s/60s tribute band (not to our taste) were entertainment for 3 nights in first week - including the deck party. Back to Seabourn team for party second week.

No sea days but still few activities before trivia at 4.30.
 

Service outside in Colonnade for breakfast and lunch the best we’ve experienced.

A number of new staff obviously learning on the job. Most noticeable in MDR (on first night it took 3 attempts to deliver the correct appetisers) and the TK Grill (for example, my husband’s appetiser was delivered with my main).  All problems handled well by Restaurant Manager.

With the absence of newspapers, readers, jigsaw, etc. we were often the only people in Seabourn Square.

Toiletries in small containers as before.

Herald printed each day and left at turndown if requested. Paper port guides and maps also available but put out behind service desks or had to ask for.

Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Hi. John from the UK here. Any new Seabourn cruisers sailing before June 12th and who would like $250 to spend on board please email me at jag60uk at yahoo dot com and I will happily recommend you. It’s a very simple process. Thanks.

When I approached our TA about availability of V5 suites on deck 6 on the November 28th Leeward Islands cruise on Sojourn, I was surprised to be told that nearly every suite was still available. Is that normal at this time of the year? Can anyone explain why this should be the case? And has anyone sailed on a not very full ship and, if so, what was it like? Thanks in anticipation of your answers.

I agree. Club room at the Icon. Plus we met a few of our fellow cruisers there during the drinks and nibbles.

Thanks for all the replies. A lot to consider.

Slightly off-topic but please can those of you who did this cruise earlier in the year confirm where the Ovation docks in Ho Chi Minh City and where the shuttle bus drops you off. Trying to arrange a private tour but need to know where the guide can meet us. Thanks.

Thanks for this advice. Is that a Seabourn bus into Pattaya or the regular bus service?

We’re sailing on the Ovation in a couple of weeks. One recent review on CC says

Hi. We're on the Hong Kong to Singapore cruise on the Ovation next year. Has anyone here ever taken the 8 hour Journey to the Mekong excursion that Seabourn offers from Ho Chi Minh City? It seems quite pricey at $259 so I wondered whether it was worth the money. Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi. We're planning on taking a 12 day Med cruise on Odyssey next year starting on May 28th. However, we are aware that this is the start of half term in the UK. How likely is it that there will be a number of children on this cruise? We deliberately avoid the main holiday periods to avoid this! Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the advice.
