Seaborn for honeymoon- how does it compare to silverseas?

Recommended Posts

We are looking at a Seaborne and a Silverseas for honeymoon. Are the lines very similar?

 

Also, we are looking to do a lot of relaxing in the sun by the pool or the Pride? Nice pool area? Is there enough spots for catching some rays while being brought drinks?

 

Anyone know about cruising the Orinico?

We did the round-trip Barbados cruise last year on The Pride that went down the Orinoco River to Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela. While we had a wonderful time (which we always do on a Seabourn cruise) that particular port was a bit less than wonderful. The water in the Orinoco is brown, so it's not especially pretty and the destination is an industrial city with absolutely nothing to see or do - NOT EVEN SHOPPING! So, we took the flight to see Angel Falls (It cost us $950 for the two of us.) It was cloudy and overcast on the way to the jungle camp that was our destination, so we didn't see the falls on the way over, but things cleared so we did see them on the way back. Frankly, we were not impressed. The Falls are very high, but very narrow, so from the air it was like looking at the flow from a spigot. I'm sure they are more impressive looking from the bottom up. We didn't think the flight was worth the money.

 

We have only sailed on the two larger Silversea vessels, and there is definitely more deck space and the pool is larger than Seabourn, but of course there are also almost 200 more people. That said, there is adequate sunning space for all on both lines.
