@lux4me As we plan for our cruise in the coming year, I’m curious about the MDR service issues. Is there a particular time that you are trying to dine and are experiencing these issues? Are you arriving early in the dinner time schedule or near the end - or sometime in between? 

We usually dine a little later in the evening, so I’m just trying to temper my expectations and/or prepare for a change in our normal schedule if necessary to avoid problems. 

Thank you. 

@Sharkb8 We are boarding the Rocky Mountaineer in Vancouver in early September. On their website, updated today, it says that face coverings are required on board the train while on Canadian routes, except, of course, while eating or drinking. Was that your experience? 

Thanks!

Et voila! There they are! Thanks, zqvol - we’ll see you soon!

We’re booked on the Sojourn for the 12-day Alaska Inside Passage and Glacier cruise departing May 31, 2020. There is only one excursion currently listed on the Seabourn site, and it is on the last day of the cruise. My husband called Seabourn, and they were apparently surprised to hear that there weren’t any excursions listed and couldn’t tell him that why that would be. Our TA suggested that they’re still finalizing contracts with the excursion companies, but this doesn’t seem normal. 

Any thoughts?

Tom,

We just finished this same cruise July 6 (first Seabourn cruise - and we’re already planning our next one,) and I’d definitely recommend heading to the ship around noon. 

We flew into Venice the day of departure and, due to a slight flight delay, arrived at check-in just before 2 pm. Despite the 5 pm scheduled departure, we were on our way at 3:30. 

So your wait may be much shorter than you think!

Have a wonderful time!
