First Cruise with Seabourn

[pdx13]

Just received an email from my TA. She was able to get the discounted fare in full from Seabourn, thereby saving us around $5K on this cruise! I am so fortunate to have a good TA, and now she has a lifetime client. Thanks to everyone on this board again for the advice. I never would have noticed the rate change had it not been for CC.

Nigella,

As you know every cruise is different and I am sorry to read about your personal experience on a particular cruise.

The next one would possibly be the best ever but as you will not sail Seabourn again please let us all know which cruise line you will sail with and what board you will post on.

It's been good to read your posts.

 

I honestly can't see another cruise line that will fit us.

My current stance is that I'm taking an extended break from Seabourn, mostly dependant on reading some much better reviews here. My husband's stance is that we're not sailing with them again ever.

I'll win ;)

Good to read this. CC has saved us a considerable amount over the years due to our TA offering generous discounts, finding out about the referral coupons on SB and helping us with price reductions after paying our deposit.

Nigella,

I had a break from Seabourn in 2015 but I have just booked a thirty four day trip on the Encore.

I remain positive.

Good for you and your TA for sticking with it and working this out. See you on board…I hope we'll meet. Looking forward to it….it's a great itinerary.

sounds like you came to a good conclusion. They usually make things right in the end. Was it $900 per person or total? I imagine you are just glad that it's settled & you can move on to planning! Thanks for letting us know. I hope PDX has a similar happy ending.

 

 

Yes, total,, I looked at the fare listed,is double that. plus we received some onboard credit, not sure how it all broke down as AmEx gave us ship board credit as well.

It really pays to have a great TA & it looks as if yours came through for you. Looking forward to seeing you all on board. Please be in touch via the roll call if anyone comes up with any private excursion ideas.
