dalliowner Posted March 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hi We will be joining in Manaus in a couple of weeks and was wondering what the new CD is like and who the other senior officers are ? Who is the barman in the Club as well ? Many thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

florisdekort Posted March 3, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The new Cruise Director is a very nice, warm and approachable gentleman but after just 7 days I'm not clear yet on how good he is at his job... which might be totally unfair as he's a 30 year industry veteran but brand new to Seabourn, so assumingely still getting up to speed. The entertainment on this cruise is hit or miss. The Guest Entertainers have been excellent, but the on board entertainment is quite poor. If you have to sing "Dancing Queen" with an iPad in front of you because you don't know the words by hard, something is wrong. And sadly that goes for almost every song the entertainment team performs. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalliowner Posted March 4, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Many thanks Floris, do you happen to know who the head barman in the club is ? We tend to spend the evenings there. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florisdekort Posted March 4, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Many thanks Floris, do you happen to know who the head barman in the club is ? We tend to spend the evenings there. John I haven't been yet as the place to be seems to be deck 10 forward (Observation Lounge?) where the pianist and head bar woman (Tamara) are drawing a full house every night, but I'll see what I can find out tonight!

RustyRollock Posted March 4, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) I suspect the new and long overdue smoking ban after 8pm in the Obs Lounge makes a huge difference. Just one person lighting up could empty the place in 5mins flat back in the day. Edit: This is NOT yet another smoking thread hijack, just a suggestion why the Obs Lounge is now so popular in the evenings.

Just one person lighting up could empty the place in 5mins flat back in the day. Edit: This is NOT yet another smoking thread hijack, just a suggestion why the Obs Lounge is now so popular in the evenings. Smoking is banned completely (all day) in the Obs Lounge. The only two spots on the entire ship where people can smoke are outside: deck 9 Mast Bar starboard side and deck 7 Square starboard side. That said, my neighbors keep smoking on their balcony and Seabourn isn't doing anything about it - despite the new policy [emoji853] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

800below Posted March 5, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Also deck 5, yes Nelson is still on board....a shadow of his former self he runs up the stairs carrying his trays Any questions about anything I will endeavor to find answers for you I'm on until Fort Lauderdale Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florisdekort Posted March 5, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Yes Nelson is still on board; he runs the Mast Bar from 12 noon to 6 pm and covers for others' breaks all over the ship during the evenings. Antonio is behind the bar in The Club. Yes, I've spoken with 'The Square' about the balcony smoking issue.

Missabby Posted March 5, 2017 #16 Share Posted March 5, 2017 "Yes Nelson is still on board; he runs the Mast Bar from 12 noon to 6 pm" Where is this "Mast Bar"? I don't see it on the deck plans. Am I missing something? "yes Nelson is still on board....a shadow of his former self" Can you expand on "shadow of his former self"? Nelson was on our fist Seabourn cruise some years ago. Thank you.

florisdekort Posted March 5, 2017 #17 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Where is this "Mast Bar"? I don't see it on the deck plans. Am I missing something?. Sorry, it's apparently called Sky Bar on Seabourn, my bad. The bar on deck 9, above the Patio Grill. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfvoyage Posted March 6, 2017 #18 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yes, I've spoken with 'The Square' about the balcony smoking issue. Has the ship staff followed up on your complaint, and is the smoking issue still ongoing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florisdekort Posted March 6, 2017 #19 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Has the ship staff followed up on your complaint, and is the smoking issue still ongoing? Yes - they have but there isn't much they can do because I don't know from which balcony the smoke is coming. It's annoying though as it happened again 4 times this afternoon. The only other minor irritant is the dress code. I would love to wear jeans to The Restaurant but I don't; out of respect for others I stick to the dress code. Many other passengers however do not. Jeans, even ripped jeans, sneakers - it's all allowed into the dining room. I had a chat with the Restaurant Manager along the lines of "Can I wear jeans as well, or are you going to enforce the dress code?" but that didn't result in any changes. They've clearly chosen not to enforce the dress code on Quest. Floris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's annoying though as it happened again 4 times this afternoon. Floris I see. I had initially thought the smoke was coming from your immediate neighbors, so you could identify the source. In this case, perhaps they can at least reinfoce the "no smoking on balcony" policy via the Seabourn Herald and/or verbal reminders by the CD after a show, for instance.

bradtarga34 Posted March 7, 2017 #21 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I've asked the question in the past (quite a while ago) but are Seabourn still doing the complimentary Tote bags they leave in the suite? Just asking what with cut backs in certain areas wasn't sure... Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
