Review summary

This was our first trip on Seaborne and it lived up to the expectations that I had set. Since it costs more than your average cruise, I was curious about the value I felt we received and it met expectations. The little things like always providing bottled water when you leave the ship, restocking soft drinks in the cabin fridge, etc. set this cruise apart from others.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was spectacular...maybe too spectacular. I would have liked a Greek or Turkish inspired fine dining experience given that we sailed from Greece to Turkey.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

One of the drawbacks to the smaller ship is less things to do.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Truly enjoyed the staff and sharing their personal stories and native countries.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The only concern I had was that there wasn't as much to do on the ship as the larger ships, but that was a good tradeoff with polite and quiet guests and staff.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

A delight to have room that was large enough to entertain guest even without a balcony.
