Seabourn Odyssey vs. Regent Seven Seas Mariner Honeymoon

[ramby]

We are trying to decide btwn the Odyssey and the Mariner. We really wanted to do a Crystal Cruise but the dates didn't work. Which ship is more elegant? Which has better food? Which one would you choose for your honeymoon? Also, I am concerned about the getting seasick--is the Odyssey too small? Thanks so much!

Your questions really cannot be answered with any degree of certainty since all of them require subjective replies. There is no such thing as best, there is only what each person prefers. For me Regent is way too big. I don't like a 50000 ton ship with 700 people. For others it may not be an issue. I think Seabourn's food is the best at sea. Someone else may disagree. As for seasickness it's not the size of the ship that matters so much as its stability and I can tell you outright there is not a smoother sailing ship than the Odyssey. I think they only real solution for you is to take two honeymoons, one on each. Then you can decide which you prefer.
