Thanks for the info on the Casablanca shuttle.

frantic36, did Seabourn provide a shuttle into town in Casablanca? I've heard that a lot of taxis can not enter the port area.

Thanks for the comments. Hopefully others contribute to the thread too with comments on Italian and Aztec meals.

We just booked a Princess Grill suite and with the current promotion, we have one free night at the King's Court. I know that it has various theme nights (La Pizza, Aztec, Bamboo, Coriander) but haven't found many reviews of each night (none for Aztec and La Pizza). Are these nights worth exchanging them for the Princess Group restaurant? Any reviews of the various theme nights are appreciated. Thanks.

The $20/day difference (per person) between the Plus and Premier categories does give you this Princess Prizes (which I agree isn't worth that much). Premier however also gives you and upgrade to the $20 glass wines, 2 Specialty dinners a piece, and increases your wi-fi device limit. Small value added items are: reserves seats for production shows, free photos, and a medallion accessory. I wouldn't mind trying the better wines, so might get the Premier on the next cruise.

It’s official. No formal nights on Venture starting Jan 4 cruises.

I just heard that Seabourn will come out with an announcement next week that formal clothes will not be required on their Expedition Cruises. We may have to repack again to our original luggage plans, but I still hope this is true.

Our cruise documents did not have the 2 formal nights notification, but I contacted the travel agent (who also will be on the cruise as part of a small group) and she confirmed "Sport Coat and above" even on the Antarctic trip. I will stuff in a coat in the luggage. To crunchii, I'm sure one nice dress will be fine.

Yes, I meant an expedition cruise (Antarctica). Normally I don't mind dressing for formal nights, but this cruise requires so much cold weather clothes (base layers, mid layers, gloves, thick socks, etc.) that trying to pack a sport coat or better is problematic. Hoping to get by with just a pair of slacks, a dress shirt and sweater (maybe a tie) at most at dinner.

We are packing for our Jan 4 cruise to the Antarctic on the Venture. I assume that the "tux, coats" rule for Seabourn does not apply on an exhibition cruise, true? If there are formal nights I haven't been able to find it documented. I haven't found anything official that exhibition ships are more casual either. Thanks in advance for any info.

We are on the 12 day cruise (plus night in BA) starting Jan 3 and have not been informed we need a Covid test.

Thanks for the response.

For suite guests were any of the restaurants open for embarkation lunch?

Oops, another question. We went to order our free parkas and are on the edge of a size. The website has you measuring your chest. When we put on the jacket, we will probably have a base layer, and a mid-layer. Does the jacket account for this? How roomy was the parka?

Highplanesdrifter: Thanks just the info I was looking for.
