We hope all is well by 25 April 2022.  We are booked on the transatlantic Miami-Barcelona. We are encouraged to hope it will happen!!

There are vaccines in our future.  They will be safe and they will help us all get back to Seabourn faster.  Stay Safe Stay Home!!  This will end.  Listen to the Scientists and Doctors.  Do not listen to the soon to be over current administration.

I can't understand people taking a cruise during this pandemic.  Stay home and stay safe!  

We will return to cruising when there is a tested reliable vaccine.

Hotel  Palazzo Stern is a beautiful hotel.  We have stayed there a few times.

Lisa, unfortunately everything from the service to the drinks were not up to SB quality. We stayed in a suite and the speciality restaurants, to be fair were excellent. However, service wise elsewhere, it was the little things, nobody filled up drinks, or paid attention when things were not good, they shrugged their shoulders. Staff were pretty disingenuous, breakfast and lunch choices poor, and service was mediocre. Some buffet staff were downright rude. Wines were poor quality, no champagne included just poor fizzy wine. Cocktails made were downright revolting and when we left them because they were undrinkable nobody asked what was wrong, and we got fed up of having to complain every time. Azamara was just lacklustre and i suppose if we hadnt have done, most of the luxury lines we would have thought a premium line like Az was ok. However, there is a reason why Az is a premium line and SB is a luxury line. Attention to detail to name just one.

We did one Azamara cruise and I have to agree. Azamara was ordinary. We stayed in a large suite and found it to be excellent, but the food was bland. We'we travelled Seabourn since 2005 and each and every voyage has been exceptional.

I will buy these for our two crossings in June 2018. Thanks so much for these posts.

We have booked on M821 and M823 in June 2018.

Thanks to all for answering my questions.

AMENITIES.......geezer pete.

I have read much conflicting information about traveling in Princess Grill. We are booked on an Eastbound and Westbound transatlantic in June 2018. Can someone answer a few questions?

Will we get our requested table for 2 in the Grill?

Is there a mini bar in the Princess Suite?

Order off menu?

a la carte menu?

Special request dinners a day in advance.

Dan and I have been with Seabourn and Crystal since 2005. We have never had a problem. We are a couple for 37 years and enjoy our time on cruises.:) Yes, we are married, too.

Yesterday, I read this review of Quest's transatlantic crossing last year......

I found it VERY difficult to believe

My husband and I have been traveling on Seaboard since 2005 and we have never had anything like this happen. We have always been treated with respect and kindness by the crew. We have met many other gay couples Seaboard cruises and not one couple has never had anything but praise for Seabourn. I don't post much, but I had to respond to this one.

Thanks Bonnie good to know and we get to vacation with Eric again. It has been a few years. He is the best cruise director and one of the reasons we booked this trip!!!!

7 out of the 10 top suites have king-size beds that do NOT separate...the 3 that CAN be separated are all Club World Owners' Suites, all port side aft:

Will the Club Ocean Suite 7004 on the Journey get the redo?? Just curious. Our cruise is 27th January 2015 BA to Rio.

Thanks for the information. I'm ready to start packing

We are going on our first Azamara cruise in less than a month. Excited, yes. We both enjoy an early morning gym session. Can anyone tell us if the gym offers free weights? We do not like the machines, but can work with them of we need to.

I took 8 cruises on the Pride when it belonged to Seabourn. It is a wonderful ship. Beautiful layout, small and cosy, and lots of fun. Give Windstar time and it will be as lovely as it was when Seabourn owned it. I plan on booking a trip on her so I can be on that lovely ship again. The Legend and the Spirit are next in May 2015. I have sailed on those girls too and will again. Windstar is now the proud owner of the "Little Sisters."

Looks much better. Thanks for the photos.

I'm betting AZ will have no difficulty whatsoever in booking these refurbished suites.

I have a cruise on Journey coming up in January 2015. Any photos of the Club Ocean Suite redo?:)

UAE is one the most homophobic countries.....I won't step foot in such places.

I'm with you Rotterdam. Excellent post.:)

The Bose noise cancelling headphones are great.

Thanks for the replies. Very helpful:)

Our first Azamara Cruise is in January 2015. Can anyone tell us if the ship stocks non-alcoholic beers? Does anyone know the brands if any?

If they surprise one person they'll disappoint someone else. And no matter to what concept they might change R2 some people will be unhappy. Make it Italian someone will want Asian. Make it Asian and someone will want French. Make it French and someone will want a steak house. There's only one solution for everyone....Oasis of the Seas where they can have it all.

I love this post!! I had to laugh. Thanks wripo.
