Ceepot Posted March 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I love champagne. Is it just complimentary when we arrive, or do Seabourn offer champagne throughout the cruise? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairsin Posted March 23, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Oh no -- as much as you want whenever you want!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted March 23, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2013 There'll be a chilled bottle on ice in your suite when you embark so you can start enjoying as you unpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisecrazyone Posted March 23, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Not only is it always available but--good news--they are offering several varieties onboard. We are on the 50 day around South America on Sojourn right now and are pleased with the addition of some very nice, (as they refer to them), nonrevenue ("free") champagnes. Champagne wishes to all and lucky you for having an upcoming Seabourn cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sananda Posted March 24, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Oh no -- as much as you want whenever you want!!! As long as you are willing to order it by the glass you can get as much as you want. Once you finish that first complimentary bottle, they will refuse to give a whole bottle no matter how many guests will be drinking with you. So if you want to have a little get together en suite with champagne expect to place a lot of calls to room service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnycruise Posted March 24, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2013 That has not been my experience. I order 6 glasses and receive an entire bottle with 6 empty glasses, not a tray of 6 "pre-filled" glasses. The steward opens the bottle and I advise him that I will take it from there. You can also order champagne in lieu of one of your two bottles of liquor and your mini-fridge will be refilled per consumption as long as the empty bottles are available to exchange.

Very good news as Nicolas Feuillatte is far from my favourite champagne, and that was all that was offered on our previous Quest cruise. I did manage to make myself drink more than a few glasses over the week though ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted March 24, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Sananda, Thank you for immediately taking the discussion from the champagne glass half full to the champagne glass half empty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sananda Posted March 25, 2013 #11 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Wripro, As long as people continue to mislead newcomers by overstating the Seabourn experience I will correct inaccuracies. You should blame Seabourn for their stingy corporate policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted March 25, 2013 #12 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Unlimited champagne is not stingy imo. Maybe some people's finders get too tired from having to call room service a second time for more champagne. It's a real hardship, I know!!!

MrsWaldo Posted March 26, 2013 #13 Share Posted March 26, 2013 All this resonant of the anti SS posts I encountered in 2006.. (OMG so long ago) and we had an amzingly brilliant time..were there things I would change..yep Why seabourn this time.. schedule.. going in with a positive attitude... you bet so if the champagne is sub par.. i;ll drink something else if the food is ordinary... i'll try different dining venues if the service is ordinary, I'll ask for a different servers location.. if I'm not happy so much that it is spoiling my trip.. I'll talk to management with suggestions to improve..not just a grizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Norton Posted March 26, 2013 #15 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It would appear that more often than not you can get a bottle or more of their bubbly* in your suite. *Rather they find something to replace the Nick F, not my cup of, er not my bottle of champagne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiskadee Posted March 27, 2013 #16 Share Posted March 27, 2013 We don't drink champagne so all these comments don't bother us. We started cruising on Seabourn about 15 years ago and have not gone on another cruise line since as we always had such a wonderful time. On our first Seabourn cruise on the Legend we became friendly with 3 American couples and we still keep in touch. We heard from one couple last week who had just returned from a Silverseas cruise and while they enjoyed it they said it wasn't as good as Seabourn. We love Seabourn because of the excellent service and the wonderful friends we have made not just with the guests onboard but from the long serving crew members.
