Review summary

This was my 1st Seabourn  Cruise and even though there were some $ issues at 1st (which Jeremy solved) it was a lovely cruise. The highlight was the Canal passage and the best onboard part was the great people with whom we traveled. Met wonderful people at our 1st dinner and then at the 1st day of Trivia. This developed into great friendships which we will truly miss. Suffice it to say these "folks" were from Canada, Dallas, Great Britain and Idaho among other places. Our rooms were spacious and masterly attended to by Tanya. Many of our fellow travelers have been on numerous Seabourn cruises and always come back for more. The ship was  just the right size and the journey smooth. My only concern was the excursions which I took. The Villages of the Sierra Madre was fun but the road to get to there was barely passable and some of the other trips encountered long drives and significant traffic .I realize there were limitations faced by Seabourn  due to the ports where we stopped. On the other hand both the Gatun lock trip with Victor as an excellent guide and Whale Watching in Cabo were great. Decorations for Christmas and NYE were beautiful which helped pass the time waiting for the internet to function. Lectures, entertainers and food were all terrific too. Will we go Seaborning again ?? Our $ 500 deposits are already down !
