What was the dress code for evenings and special dinners?

Mini bar and room service are not included in the AI.package.

we used some drinks from the mini bar without knowing and as we check our bill daily,noticed we had been charged.We refilled the mini bar free from the bars and they took the charge off.Bit petty really but easily rectified at no cost.

All Vines wines under 10$ are free.The wines we tried in Vines for those prices,weren't any better then the wines by the glass anywhere else in our opinion.Didnt much rate the tapas either.

Thank you.I am not at all computer savvy so may call again on you nearer the time to ask more questions.;)

We have booked the cheapest cabin as we assume we will be on deck or out and about a lot.What is the pool like?

Thank you for all the information.Can I ask,is there somewhere to go in the evening away from the singers if you want?

Can you report back after your cruise.We are doing Emerald next year and there is very little about.Ewizabeff,if you remember the name of the poster for Emerald please let us know.

We will be interested in dress code on Emerald.

Sounds like a great start with more adventures ahead. Do you mind sharing the name of the guide in Budapest? I'm hoping you will report back on the concert in Vienna. One cruise is ahead and I'm gathering info and making plans.....all part of the experience....right?

Yes please.would also like a recommendation...

We got our monies worth for 7 nights but I would not be able to keep up with it for any longer than that.We were on a much needed break and really pushed the boat out ( excuse the pun:D).

Yes, we were. Small world!

Didn't like St.Kitts port.Hated the monkey photos!

If you rebook on pounds sterling it cost more due to their currency conversion.Buy as soon as you get on to get your full use of it.

I had an AI card and had decaf in International cafe.

Problem with the hot water....it's not hot enough for a decent cuppa.If I go again,I will take my own kettle for early morning use...

Am in total agreement with Martita. Transatlantics are wonderful. Total relaxation, you can enjoy sea days, get up whenever you wish, take part in any or all of the activities. We have never seen a large group on these cruises, probably because the logistics of flying into one location and out of another would be too costly. We have two TA's booked for 2015. We love them.

Feeling better now.thanks everyone.

I've been on the Emerald Princess for three Christmases in a row and have lots of info and photos of the decorated ship and activities on my blog:

You'll have a great time! The Emerald Princess is a very special ship.

Were you there in St Kitts this Christmas Day just gone? We were there on the Royal clipper.!

Hi,

 

I will be cruising on Sea Princess next month and was wondering if anyone can tell me how much it costs to use the sanctuary and if it is worth it? Also, are there any hidden costs in using the sanctuary?

I recently saw it on Emerald.I too would like to know if it's worth it and what is there.

If you consider canceling Seabourn because of the minor potential for a group then you must consider giving up luxury cruising completely as no line is immune from that possibility. Keep your booking, anticipate the wonderful time you will have and do not fixate on how one cruise did not live up to Seabourn's usual standards.

I haven't booked yet.Only had Cunard and Princess cruises.I wanted to do a luxury cruise.

Thank you Jeff for your suggestions.I have read the whole thread and they are very useful.

This thread is very damaging for Seabourn.I am really reconsidering booking with them.

Should I?

At the Crown Grill, try out the Black and Blue Onion Soup... very good.

Oh yes.superb...

We had had the new drinks package on three cruises now and have usually come out ahead. No, I don't slurp cocktails all day, but with the specialty coffees and Fresh juices as well as soda and smoothies, along with a couple drinks before dinner and glasses of wine with dinner you are able to make it worth your while.

I agree.It isn't about being a constant alcohol consumer.We had proper tins of coke and tonic instead of fountain stuff,bottled carbonated with our dinner,lovely coffees and specialist teas and also many mocktails.We came out ahead for a week recently.

Lots of direct flights from the UK ;) So nice to meet you on the Emerald :)

Yeh,I guess...lovely to meet you too.x

Western Caribbean out of Houston departs Dec 28. She'll be in either Roatan or Belize that day. My first a Princess cruise - will we like the ship?

Thank you for the reply.And yes I expect you will love Emerald.I have just got off and thought about New Year's Eve on her, so wanted to know where to embark.A little too far for me maybe.:(

Just wondering.:confused:

Would soft drinks includes cans of coke and tonic or is it just fountain?

Does that cover mini suite or just suite?

I know we can do a NO upgrade message but how cool would it be if we could state 'happy to change dates or ship for decent upgrade'....;)

Thanks. I appreciate the quick reply.

We did the Victoria and I think hintanjul has got it spot on.

With Cunard there are generally 2 prices.One allows you to pre book a cabin and one does not...There are good and bad about both fares with Cunard..;)

No Brian I was not referring to that cruise at all.Emerald August 9th.
