Great food, Nicely appointed Ship.
October
Pros: Great staff, food and ship.
Cons: Service needs better communication and training
Recommended: No
Seabourn touts being a luxury line so for a first time sailor I was expecting an equivalent to Silversea and Regent. Although a lot of boxes were checked, they can use a little more polish. Teamwork in the dining room and Colonade was lacking. Serving staff although working very hard, seemed to run into each other not knowing what the other was doing. Was expecting butler service, Our room steward did a good job but would have liked the upgraded service. Food was Very good and the front desk staff were exceptional. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.

Sailed on the Encore 10/4/2023
October
Pros: service, food, entertainment
Cons: The public windows needed washing. Few items needed some patches or repair.
Recommended: No
All the singers, musicians and dancers were fantastic. they belong on broadway. The cruise director Ross Robert made the cruise so much fun, he is a wonderful host, comedian, singer and overall does a wonderful job. The staff made us feel very special almost like family. Night at Ephesus was the highlight of the cruise.

Seabourn…a cut above
September
Pros: Great food, excursions, shipboard entertainment
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes
After sailing on Silversea for years we found Seabourn to be a couple points better. Unbelievable staff made us feel at home on day one.All the little extras add up to #1 for us. Looking forward to our next cruise with Seabourn. Great experience, lots of activities made to enrich the ports of call From food immersion to University level lecturers of history made it so much better. Great entertainment dancers, musicians and singers were really fabulous.
