We are on that cruise from February 20 through May 2.  I usually book private excursions and use Tours by Locals plus a few other companies.  We would be interested in whatever you find. Please let me know at blizzard underscore patricia at yahoo dot com.  Thanks.  I look forward to sharing info.

Thanks for responding, will definitely contact you once I find some tours. 

Seabourn has the "least participated" or started roll calls.  

Unfortunately, there is no roll call for this cruise as of now.

We are booked for our first Seabourn cruise on Sojourn April 15-May2, 2024.Looking to book some private excursions e.g., (Tours by Locals). Want to know if anybody is interested to join.

We have had only ONE cruise experience with Silversea (Norway) and definitely very disappointed with included excursions, poor to mediocre. 

Thanks Nancy

Checked for Sojourn, cruise starting April 15, NOT named. Thomas Keller listed.

Do all ships have Solis available in 2024? starting dates?

Thanks  

TonynSuffolk, Can you name the tour group you are dealing with.

Thanks

Seabourn is better than regent and silver sea. Just sayin

I would REALLY be ecstatic if that is the case. Will give a "report" after our first Seabourn cruise in April. So far, the only small "concern" I have is total cost of excursions (which is "free" in Regent and Silversea).

Do they also go through all of the baggage information as well?  Carry on restrictions?  Baggage fees?

 

It's the responsibility of the consumer to make an informed, researched decision.  If you only have FlightEase as your only data source, you only have yourself to blame, IMO.  It's not the responsibility of the cruiseline to mention every possible issue.

 

 

Do we have access to Flight Ease, or we have to go through TA or Seabourne? (booked our first Seabourne cruise)

We also just got off the Sojourn on December 1st. It was our first cruise with Seabourn and I can honestly say it was our best cruise ever (and we are very seasoned cruisers). It truly surpassed all our expectations. Dining preferences are certainly "to each his own" and commenting about what one likes and doesn't is free on Cruise Critic. For us, there were absolutely no complaints in that department.We are looking forward to booking another Seabourn cruise in the near future. 

Have you been on any other "luxury" cruise line before...Regent, Silversea for example? 

(we are scheduled for our first Seabourn cruise in April)

Thank you.

What was name of the French wine?

Thanks

Our excursions experience in a recent Norway cruise was same as Spryder, DEFINITELY more misses than hits, very disappointing.

My 2 cents 

 

regent excursions are beyond awful

we book our own 

 

COMPARING to Silversea included excursions, they are fairly decent!!

And my request for crab legs also declined, on Splendor 4.5 months ago. They DID have the "ingredients".

Just finished our FIRST Silversea cruise, will do a review, mainly comparing with Regent on Silversea forum (if anyone interested), but I can say here that we definitely have enjoyed wine (primarily red) service on Regent MUCH more than Silversea, they had very limited Cabernet, NO Zinfandel or Malbec on the "covered" wines. Agree with the advice that you should attend the (free) wine tasting on second morning of cruise.

Ate at hot rocks yesterday  they did seal it off and had heaters on but still chilly.  Filet was very good and has artic char which was also excellent .  Nice to go causal after a busy day in Bergen. Note internet and live tv will it work in port at least on this cruise.  It was sunny and nice in Bergen a rare occurrence I hear.  Geiranger was sunny and beautiful(I got a slight sunburn and I live in Belize most of the year!). Both shore excursions we solid about the same a regent but shorter, but it was nice because we could walk around on our own for a bit.  Had dinner at kaizeki (sp?) which was excellent but I’m not sure I would spend 40 bucks again for it.  We had lunch there on a sea day and the sushi and shashimi were also top notch.   We past the 7 sisters and the suitor waterfalls out of Geiranger and they played nessun dorma over the ships speakers.  I thought that was a great touch kudos to the captian/ cruise director.  I did watch the opera show the other night entertainers are good but the theater and show itself are ok.  So far i would say SS +1 on food, entertainment -1, ship quality even, staff even, butler service -1,shore ex quality even, shore ex variety -1, internet and tv system +2.  Laundry/pressing inclusion -2.  Some trade offs but I do like the change of pace so at this point I would sail on either depending on itinerary ship and price.

----Appreciate your ratings

Will you comment on your cabin, what floor and any motion or noise problem, if so would you recommend different floor, or position (mid,e.g.). Planning to be on Dawn in august, and like you will get Veranda suite. This will be our first Silversea cruise and will miss free laundry !!(our last 3 cruises on Regent newer ships). How does your shower compare with Regent's?

Thanks 

Thanks Kjbacon for POSITIVE news regarding CRAB. Hoping that what you experienced in seafood plate still available in our next cruise staring March 28 on Splendor.

And thanks for all your pictures in your very helpful entries.

Some good new options here, but I am disappointed that the crab cakes are gone from Prime 7. But agree all menus were in need of a refresh. 

Also VERY disappointed that CRAB LEG entre no longer on Prime 7 menu

Just confirmed (with OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE from Silversea) that for our cruise to Japan on MUSE, starting 10/21/22 the last day for cancellation without further penalty is 55 days before start of cruise, NOT 45 days.

My first "thought" is the NEWS on 45 days cancellation window, and anxiously waiting to see follow ups.

We are booked on Muse October 21, 2022, cruise

we were on Explorer in January 2022(our first Regent cruise) and on Splendor in May 2022. The big plus for Explorer was the "coffee connection" staying open, with service, till LATE at night, while being closed at 5 pm on Splendor.  

"Japan is testing the waters with these small tourist groups,  There is an election coming up in Japan this summer so that may effect things but currently I don’t think the Muse will be visiting Japan this year."

---Hope you are wrong, have a 2- week cruise booked on Muse, starting late October.

I realize it is somewhat of a long shot, but keep hoping

We are leaving 3 days early next week for our Splendor cruise and booked " On Point Testing" for getting tested in Monte Carlo(on line) . Reasonable fee'
