I vote this as dumbest, most waste of time post on Seabourn cc site

I didn't realize there was a contest, but appreciate your vote....

Well, since I'm catching such grief over this, I'll fill everyone in, and likely not post here further (after all we all need to discuss the caviar selection, where plugs are located, etc).  I didn't have the proper visa for travel to Brazil.  I didn't oversleep etc.  I was allowed to have a credit on another cruise.  It was totally my fault, and the cruise line didn't have to help me.   I've worked in administration, and know that sometimes if you do something nice it comes back to bite you.  I just wanted to express my appreciation to the cruise line for their assistance.  My apologies if I somehow wasted your time or caused some ripple in the karma of your expected postings and such.   

I don't want any "good deed to go unpunished" so to speak.  If you care to send me a Facebook dm, I'll explain further.  But I was very impressed by their assistance.

So, right about now I'm supposed to be in the middle of the Amazon River, but, due to my own lack of attention to detail, I'm not.  I made a mistake, but Seabourn went above and beyond to allow me a second chance and now I'll be traveling from Hong Kong to Shanghai.  Too often the boards are filled with people complaining about this or that, but thought it refreshing and proper to give a solid to Seabourn for their excellent service and attention to the needs of travelers, like myself, who sometimes screw up.  This will be my first Seabourn journey, but certainly won't be my last!  Hope to meet some of you guys on this cruise, and yes, mad props to Seabourn. 

I like to take a cruise about once a year.  I've cruised on Carnival, Crystal, Viking, Costa, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean.  I've had just as much fun on cheeper cruises as I have on expensive ones.  I just love the chance to be at sea away from cell phones and other of life's necessary intrusions.  I will be sailing on Seaborne in April.  Every since I was younger, I always wanted to sail this cruise line, but until now, couldn't find one that fit where I wanted to go and when I wanted to go so to speak.  I'm really exited about this trip on the Amazon.  I really can't be away from work more that 2 weeks maximum, so length is a factor, as is cost.  FWIW my favorite cruise was taking Crystal from Boston to Montreal in the fall.  I also loved the "Outlaw Country Cruise" on Norwegian.  

Thanks for bringing up this conversation  

When I was a teenager on my first cruise ever (Costa 1985) I found a diamond bracelet and turned it into the purser. Got a really nice note from the lady that lost it. So there is that :)
