  1. Don’t necessarily have to be on the same airline. Being in the same alliance also works quite often.
  2. You have to check with the air line. Depends on the class of the ticket as economy isn’t enough as many different fare classes an airlines differ in that policy.
  3. Yes there are wet landings. Boots are included wore my waterproof pants but never needed them. Some ports we anchored and zodiacs used to get to shire. No tender usage. They will tell you if a wet or dry landing. Never needed the waterproof pants but never know fir the future there are guided hikes don’t believe they were fo 5 hours. Longest I remember was about 5K
  4. Those are some of the questions I would have expected. And Nadalya herself at the end stated that she and the rest of the executive team expected different types of questions. Akso I am aware other town halls had tough questions.
  5. Well actyy it ally title is back to CD. Not the CEO but president Nedalua and her executive team. No CEO fir Seabourn. Not sure what you mean by recognition. She snd the team ate around participating snd talking to people and at functions. I attended a Oresidents dinner snd wine tasting for 20 people. Even had a town hall. No hard questions asked. Really like Nadalya.
  6. Cd is Brian who is new to seabourn. Now on second cruise and not very good IMHO. HOPEFULLY will be better on next cruise.
  7. Are you sure about 3 weeks. Believe it will be 2 weeks as I am boarding today back in Reykjavik in 2 weeks then again in 4 weeks so change over is 2 or 4 weeks.
  8. Believe you are good until 8:30 and if not room service is 24/7 and you can order from the restaurant as soon as you get back so no need to change.
  9. Couple of reasons for me. Don't forget we need to get to Reykjavik on commercial flights so the roller carryon serves the flights those flights and must haves. Second is that we are limited to 50 lbs total for checking up to 2 suitcases on the charter so this adds to the amount we can get to the ship. Some of us are on board for 29 days. Since they have stated that our cheeked bags will go from the shore separately likely on zodiacs as well if a problem they can put the carry on with the checked bags as no plae other than the ship for these to go. Glad you asked as now I will put a Seabourn tag on my carry on so it can be delivered to my suite.
  10. Yes that’s the port I couldn’t spell or pronounce
  11. I can’t pronounce or spell the port. It is in NE Greenland a village of 500 people with a world war 2 runway. We transfer via plane from Reykjavik in 6/18 to this village without a docking area. Sure you can find this port it is in the 6/18 presidents cruise. people will disembark via zodiacs snd return to Reykjavik as well. This occurs several times this summer.
  12. Believe in the multitude of emails for the past week or so all carryons will go with you on your Zociac while the hold luggage will be transported separately and meet you in your suite. My carryons will include a small rollaboard a personal item and my medical device and I have documentation from Seabourn that that is permitted.,
  13. Interesting am on the President's cruise starting in little over a wee. Was able to complete the preferences list several months ago on the Source App but, not on any browser. Got a phone call about a week ago asking what my preferences were. Told her I had cocmplete the preferences but, she could not find it so remembered and gave verbally my preferences. Later looked on the source app and preferences were still there. A complet mystery why the seabourn IT is so horrible. Can't get anywhere with chrome on my computer but, Firefox works fine. We'll see if my preferences are there when I board in Greenland a wee from Sunday but,, who's counting the days and hours.
  14. Wait lists are likely not the problems. Everyone is missing the point that guarantees have to be accommodated to liely it is finding suites for guarantees thus the ones geting the offers are those in categories that have people with guarantees and n place to sleep.
  15. It’s intentionally vague. I read several boards of different cruises lines and that is basically how most cruise lines explain changes. it’s the old if I tell you I have to kill you.
  16. Weill, Seabourn has finally changed the East Greenland Experience to the SE Greenland Experience for the President's cruise on June 17 to match the other changes. They have also made some other changes dropping a port, adding others as well as changing some of the Port times. Revised excursions are promised ;in the next 2 weeks just one week before boarding. They state that they are refunding excursions for the deleted port however I see that there were no excursions in that Port anyway. Still very much looking forward to this upcoming experience.
  17. Got the following in writing back from my excellent TA today in writing. Guess we all are going to have to struggle to meet the weight requirements. Hi Dave, Unfortunately the allowances are due to landing requirements in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. See below in writing from Seabourn: Yes, what is stated on the confirmation is correct, "50LB/23KG PER GUEST/2 BAG PER GUEST MAX". For checked bags, each guest may check-in up to 50lbs either all in 1 bag or dispersed amongst 2 bags. Each guest may also bring a carry-on with them on the plane. Completely understand their line of thinking but these baggage allowances were not created by Seabourn nor by how much luggage the aircraft can normally accommodate but by total weight restrictions placed on the operation in order for the plane to safely land at the landing strip in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.
  18. Have nothing in writing. After reading your response from Seabourn I phoned Seabourn and talked to the same person who I had talked to a few weeks ago and was told 50 lbs per person with nothing in writing aout carry ons. We talked and she asked about what was in my documents and that was "50LB/23KG PER GUEST/2 BAG PER GUEST MAX" which I see on my documents and to me it is written weirdly. Have never been that limited before. She recommended having my TA contact their contacts at Seabourn and get the correct story which I have done and hoping to have a response next wee which I will post. I do know the rules last year were 2 bags at 50 lbs each and which should be the same this year plus the usual carry ons since there are items which cannot go in the hold of the plane. More to come but, 2 bags at a total of 50 lbs is absurd and I am almost positive that writing is simply incorrect. More to come,
  19. Believe you may have gotten incorrect information. Yes, you may only check 2 bags on the charter each no heavier than 50 pounds. Also unless you are taking the charter post cruise, the included bacpac would only be available on board, For the Presidents cruise th charter is pre cruise. I specifically asked about carry ons as I am bringing 1 carryon, one personal item plus a Medical Device and was told that they only were told by the charter airline about the 2 checked bags at 50 lbs each and that carry ons would be the same as most airlines as a carryon, personal item plus any medical devices. I really wanted the carryons specifically described but am going with 2 checked and the aforementioned baryons/personal/medical.
  20. I am on the presidents cruise and have downloaded final documents which still shows east Greenland experience vs the changed to southeast experience So did not get a recent change to my east experience in late June. Extremely difficult to keep track as appears to me east includes zodiacs while se includes actual ports. should shake out next month.
  21. Correct, just like in Antarctica included zodiac excursions simply happen and everyone is invited to join Even on my invoice it shows the expected days of the zodiac tours but, really no information about what they are just that they will be announced as the cruise progresses.
  22. Already tried that. Only for new bookings and could not cancel and rebook as at 100% cancellation They did upgrade me from V3 to Panorama suite so did get something. Believe the cruise is not close to full another reason for the 35% off. Really looking forward to the cruise and sure there will be specials onboard. Will be on for 29 nights so B to B.
  23. A jeweler on board makes me think of the awful park west so called art auctions on the mainstream cruise lines. And appalling is the fact that I am on this presidents cruise and absolutely no notification from Seabourn about this fact and only way I know is thru Seatrade daily who posted an interview with the new president plus posts on CC. less than 2 months to the cruise and the sounds of silence about this cruise are defeating. After reading about the president I contacted seabourn to ask about anything special and the agent had no idea about the fact that it was happening?? And now an overpriced jeweler wow can’t wait!!
