We're on deck 9 too!! The place is buzzing.

Hi Lois and everyone here, we're on the Nova and will fly out from Heathrow tomorrow morning. Look forward to meeting everyone. We're on deck 9 also so may bump into you.

I just want to add my two penneth to the views expressed on Seabourn. We did a cruise on Encore in July/August and couldn't find fault with anything. We had breakfast on the patio deck every morning and the wait staff knew from day one what our preferences were. We didn't have to ask what we wanted; as soon as they saw us arriving, our tea and cold and hot water arrived without delay. The food was excellent and the second week was fantastic - we went to a classical concert in the Ephesus Ampitheatre. The organisation by Seabourn was brilliant; 14 coaches getting us there and back and after the concert, we arrived back at the quay to all the crew welcoming us 'back home'. The 14 day cruise went without a hitch and we would recommend Seabourn to anyone. As previous posters have said, there are always hitches here and there, but we were very lucky that some of the crew remembered us (which we think makes a difference) and those that we met for the first time knew, again after day one what type of drinks we liked with lunch and dinner and we wish we were back on Encore now!!!
