Seabourn Sojourn - Tips

The Collinade restaurant buffets are sophisticated and varied in fare. the tasting menu at Restaurant 2 was special.

Relax. They will take excellent care of you.

Try the lounge on Deck 10. It has a panoramic view of where the ship is headed.

The food was incredible. Do order caviar often. Kind of a secret that it's complimentary and abundant. But the home made ice creams every day were my personal treat.

This cruise is definitely geared toward an older audience however the trip is so spectacular it doesn't even matter. Also there is self serve laundry aboard the ship.

We loved all the dining venue choices. The food was superb and they were always ready to customize our food choices. They even made almond croissants especially for us every morning.

The breadsticks & the french fries are addictive & a killer to anyone's diet. Seaboard really promotes interaction with other passengers, staff & officers. We always enjoy that. We took advantage of each hosted dinner table & met fantastic entertainers, staff & guests.

Avoid this particular itenarary, until Seabourn is able to readjust ports of call and time they allow at each port, particularly at Rome. If anyone still like to go, then disembark in Rome and spend some time there.

Dine late - 8:30 or 9 for better service. Patio lunch is very good.

The rooms are great size for one to two people. Get 6th floor. More rocking higher.

Be prepared for a great cruise expirience

Coffee in the morning on the bridge lounge was great.

There are two self service laundrettes on deck 5 and washing powder is provided free of charge.

Internet is expensive and only Ok. Turn off and relax. There bow "hot" tub was great. The aft hot tubs on Deck 5 were good and under utilized. From my viewpoint the ship could have gotten closer to the glaciers. I am guessing that they do this to help sell Ventures kayak and zodiac tours. There zodiac tours were good but a bit repetitive. In hindsight I would not have done as many. On a positive note, the a Ventures team were great. When you get the invites to the crew hosted tables do it. Each dinner was great and each time we closed down the restaurant because the conversation was fun.

Be prepared to be very pampered.
