Take the excursion to Moscow if you are on the Baltic cruise. Also, the Restaurant was great, staff and crew also deserve our praise.

If you enjoy champagne, they'll bring you caviar, too! Just ask.

The evening before a port day, get a map and information at Seabourn Square about the place you're about to visit.

Elevators are quick ...not a big enough ship for good walking onboard.

Don’t try mixed drinks or cocktails, stick with the basics. Caviar is on demand, so go nuts! Don’t miss the Indian buffet night.

Enjoy! Be open to meeting people.

There is a bar area on deck 5 that was almost always empty or with just a few other guests. Great views, service and entertainment.

Sail on a heartbeat. A bit pricey but everything included with exception of spa and excursions. No nickel and dimming

If you need reliable wifi, go to cafes off the ship and/or use your phone when in port.

Plan to spend some time just enjoying the ship, not just running off into town on excursions.

Don't pay for the higher decks, be ready for a lot of unhappy people and Seabourn mis-steps

Don’t take a book. The library was great. My spouse finished 2 books from the library on the cruise. I finished one.

Look at itinerary & pricing to check if it is best option. The shore excursions were overall high priced that added significantly to baseline.

Make sure you explore every nook and cranny the boat is well designed to enjoy outdoor as well as indoor spaces.

Pre departure paperwork calls for a photo to be uploaded. I had presumed this would mean that at check in a photo would not be required but our photos were still taken before boarding the ship.

Make sure to hit the square and get coffee or tea in the early am. Baristas were very nice and personable

Book excursions early before your cruise so you don’t miss out, they can fill up quickly. Take advantage of booking a future cruise on board for a 5% discount. We were celebrating a milestone birthday so that netted us additional discounts on our next Seabourn cruise

It’s a little pricey but well worth the expense. Due to the size of the ship the ports of call were mostly smaller and less commercially intense islands. We consider that a big advantage. Since Barbados was the departure and return port there are significant challenges to getting there and returning home. This was a significant hassle and expense that cannot be avoided and is partially due to airline connections.
