Seabourn Ovation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great getaway, beautiful weather, lush scenery and warm friendly people.

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.

All cruise lines continue to cut corners and reduce quality and service. Seabourn is following this trend unfortunately! Dear Mrs. Seabourn President... Your typical Seabourn guests would rather pay "slightly more" and continue to receive the quality that you have provided in the past, than have you continue to cut corners and reduce the Seabourn experience to that no better than other semi luxury cruise lines. Step Up and Forward, not backwards.

It is clear that Seabourn and all the Carnival umbrella lines (Cunard too) have suffered greatly as a result of their responses to COVID by letting most if not all of their experienced staff go. The level of service and expertise has plummeted and cruisers should not expect the same levels of service they experienced before COVID

We had an excellent time and enjoyed the ports as well as the ship. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable cruise.

We were excited about this itinerary but overall our expectations were not met & so disappointed in staff services, guest services, & overall shore excursion experiences as compared to previous Seabourn cruises and other luxury cruise lines.

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.

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.

Nice week long cruise. I really wish it was longer.

We started off the cruise fairly disappointed in the food and service in the Observation Bar, but the longer we were on the boat and had great service from other staff, we felt better about the overall experience.

This was our first Seabourn cruise and we have scheduled another to Iceland later this year. We have been on more than 30 cruises and this was the best so far. Food, service and accommodations were a cut above. All this comes at a cost, but well worth it.
