Love Seabourn?

[Anne Campbell]

Seabourn has the best itineraries on earth and some wonderful shore-side experiences. What's your favorite part of the Seabourn experience? For me, I think it's the incredibly warm staff.

I have not experience Seabourn yet although having had a look at the photos for the New Seabourn Sojourn WE are considering on trying them out for the first time next year. We usually sail with Cunard or Crystal mostly because of the choice of activities onboard and because of the destinations they visit. What is the difference between Cunard/ Crystal and Seaborun?

There are huge differences, but especially between Crystal and Seabourn there are some solid similarities.

Cunard's Grill Class is quite good, but once you leave the confines of the designated areas, you are decidedly on a mass market cruise ship.

Crystal has IMHO the best overall enrichment program at sea coupled with excellent cuisine and solid service. It's downfall is that unless you are in the top suites the cabins are small. And with that it seems that the pricing is a bit pricey for the accommodation.

Seabourn has IMHO the best service and cuisine of any cruise line...consistently. There is no "this venue" or "that waiter" or "my favorite bartender" to get the very best in service or food. Seabourn excels with Intuitive Service...the staff knows what you want before you even know you want it.

I agree that Seabourn has the best service and staff,apart from the Hapag Lloyd Europa which is way above everything afloat apart from a private yacht.
I do think that the itineraries are ok but not as good as some other lines,hey,the world is only 70% water anyway.
