Seabourn Ovation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Every Seabourn staff and crew member is a pleasure to deal with. The service is impeccable and they all seem genuinely happy all the time.

Cruise line.com calculated a 4.8 out of 5 rating. I calculate it at 5. Why? Because it’s impossible to factor in the intangibles. This cruise was critical for me to be able to realize my dream of an “Around the World “ trip. It’s a trip that I’ve waited more than 65 years to do...more than 22,200 miles, every time zone on earth...and I have MS to boot.

Overall memorable ports... Excellent service... easy to do anything or ask for anything. Amazing breads and desserts from the chefs.

First time in Seabourn and was very excited as had heard so many good things. Embarkation was a disaster. Loads of sick passengers resulted in contracting illness twice in 18 days and finishing in hospital in Singapore. Very impressive cabins with own wet bar and caviar on demand very luxurious. Surprisingly internet not included. Service was very hit and miss. Had meals forgotten to be delivered. Terrible cocktails. Could not get a beer list. CD was excellent. Activities were lots of fun, loved the art classes. Pool area too small and no service a lot of the time. Lack of space in general. Loved the Seabourn square. Would like to try one of their smaller ships

This cruise was amazing. Our first time on Seabourn after many cruises on Celebrity. We have definitely fallen in love with the small ship, ultra luxury experience. With a max capacity of 600 cruisers, nothing ever feels crowded and there are no long lines for anything. Food quality was outstanding. It’s a quieter experience, no loud parties or rowdy passengers. We’re still in our late 40s, so one thing is it is definitely an older demographic that this line appeals to but that was fine with us. If you’re looking for a relaxed, calm cruise experience with good food, great destinations, this is the line to try.

This was our first Seabourn cruise since March 2020 when due to Covid our Australian cruise was cut short. It was great to be back onboard again and experience the Seabourn hospitality. Both the embarkation and the muster drill processes have been simplified since our last cruise in 2020. The Molten Brown shower and hand wash products in the cabin are now supplied in large bottles which appear to be refilled. The shampoo, conditioner and body lotions are miniature size. Do you remember to ask the stewardess for your preference of alcoholic drinks for the room and do ask for caviar to the cabin. Overall an enjoyable cruise and looking forward to the next.

The whole cruise was great. Food could improve. Service was excellent most of the time. Room Service was excellent. Ports of call were fabulous. We saw so many ports that we plan to revisit in the future.
