Silversea Cruises have revealed that they will be introducing complimentary Wi-Fi from April 2018 onwards.

The free unlimited Wi-Fi will apply to all guests regardless of which grade of accommodation they stay in.

Hope seabourn will follow it soon

Same here, my last cruise before 90 days final payment.

"I have just spoken to Seabourn and they are unable to change the price because the promotions for new bookings only.

I do apologise Seabourn normally allow us to change the costing but on this occasion they are not."

Onboard encore today.

1. Our 2 suite's luggages were placed at the old suite room. We changed into connecting room few weeks ago.I though they would've scanned the bar code before delivering to the suite. This never happened to our last 3 Sojourn cruises with last minutes room change.

2. I need a high chair for my son, last sojourn cruise they had few high chairs to choose from with correct height (dinner table height). There were 8 young kids on that cruise LOL.

I was told there are only one high chair onboard. What makes it even worse is the height of chair is 60cm ABOVE the dinner table. They promise they will sort it out. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for photos especially the ones of the gym. It's the only way we will know what it is like [emoji1]

 

We board in Sydney on March 6th.

 

Received the docs today so the excitement level is rising.

Great photos!

See you on 6 March too [emoji1]

The fine print may say no, but in actuality you can. When you take aa marker at the table, it goes against your account. Your account is paid by credit card and OBC. There is no way for them to segment out what is paid by OBC vs credit card.

But there will be 3% service fees to your account, if I remember correctly.

If that is the case, then simply cancel and rebook. If you are before final payment and booking from the USA, then it is no problem.

But my TA is in UK…

Maybe better luck next time

Good Afternoon,

I have just spoken to Seabourn and they are unable to change the price because the promotions for new bookings only.

I do apologise Seabourn normally allow us to change the costing but on this occasion they are not.

=========

Sometimes they will not adjust even before final payment :(

Shadow was my last silversea too, and it was 5 years ago :)

Great photos!

Can't wait to board in Sydney.

This is in response to ct-andy's post #5 above, which I tried to "quote" but the quoted text failed to show up here.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Also strange, indeed. Your first example must also be an error; UK pricing should be better than - or the same as - US pricing, not worse.

I though it was an error too, but my UK TA told me what he have quoted is 100% correct. :confused:

Thats why I want to know where I can find current Seabourn's UK official fare. But I think the easiest way is call SB UK directly.

I think maybe our friend in Taiwan fancies paying in UK sterling because of its recent collapse . . . but that will be difficult as long as his computer knows where he is. It's an Orwellian world.

Its my 4th booking with this UK TA and with recent UK exchange rate that's even better :D

For example back in September I got an quote for 14 Days 14-DAY EXOTIC CARIBBEAN IN-DEPTH

USD 4999,my UK TA told me its £4041 Per Person

According to x-rates.com convert to Pounds will be £3,841.48

So UK's price is £200 more than US.

==========================

I called Seabourn UK directly just now and got an quote for 6 March Encore.

V4 US$5999 and Seabourn UK£4765.85

Strangely the exchange rate is roughly the same this time :confused:

OP: If you have friends in the UK, just ask them (or a UK-based agent, obviously) to look up GBP pricing for your chosen journeys.

My friend who is working at UK did check the site for me, but strangely it shows EURO prices...

Because my UK agent told me that US fare is not = to UK fare, one can not simply convert it with current exchange rate. UK fare is higher thank US

I have tried http://www.seabourn.co.uk with UK proxy and uk proxy browser, but it still shows me USD cruise fare.

Does anyone know where I can find out UK's current cruise fare?:confused:

The more experienced can weigh in here, but my read of "call for availability" means that they have availability but don't want to post the price. Undoubtedly at the risk of offending people who booked months ago at a higher rate than what they offering to sell cabins at the last minute. I think if it were sold out it would say "sold out".

Oh I see!

No wonder I got pay upgrade to PH in July cruise. I though it was sold out.

Was on Sojourn 3 weeks ago, they told me the swimming cage is only on smaller ship.

Water couch was really fun!

I would love to know too :)

Will disembark at Monte Carlon in few weeks time.

You can ask your TA for special paid upgrades...

small tip - bring an iPod with your favourite dance tunes and plug it in once the musicians have gone to bed and be your own DJ.

Lol didn't know you can do that, gonna try this July too.

Mass market? Chinese?

I doubt it...

Mainland China’s luxury spending continued its decline

Booked two OB for July cruise last week.

Seabourn gave me 502 immediately and my parent's OB suite number is still unknown.

Captain- Karlo Buer

Hotel Director- Vitor Alves

Restaurant Manager- Mihaela Radu

CD- Verity Teiho-Brown

OB paid upgrade to V2~6, never

OB or V paid upgrade to PH, yes

Last year 7 nights cruise V2 to PH US$999 p.p

This year 10 nights OB ($3999) to PH US$1999 p.p

Oh really?

George's son Billy is going to pick us up next Sunday. I hope he wont be late.
