We decided to pay a r=premium for a SEABOURN cruise but it wasn't worth it. First of all, IGLU didn't advise us that the cabin we had been assigned was on the lower deck without a balcony. Furthermore, we were directly above the anchor! You can imagine the noise! There were two stewards assigned to our cabin. They didn't clean thoroughly and although we asked for more fruit in the disappointing fruit bowl in our cabin - it didn't arrive. Even though tips were included, they hung around outside our cabin the night before we were disembarking. We were underwhelmed with the food. It looked ok but it was tasteless and the buffet was quite small, and again the food was tasteless. The fresh fruit was inedible - brown peaches and soft fruit. The shows were unimpressive. The only good thing were the wait staff in the restaurants. They went above and beyond
Seabourn Quest our favourite ship with outstanding members of staff all so very welcoming. Food throughout excellent. Itinerary was exceptional. Only good positive things to say. Don’t hesitate to experience this yourself you won’t be disappointed.
A fantastic cruise aboard a really excellent ship. First class facilities and really good food and entertainment. A more boutique experience than a large ship with only 600 passengers. The food was very, very good and the staff really polite and attentive. A wonderful was to experience the Far East
Seabourn Encore. Immaculate ship; genuinely friendly and unfailingly helpful staff. Every meal was a good dining experience, especially in the Splis restaurant. Entertainment was in the singer/dancer/cabaret ste + virtuoso performances from specialist artists. Our suite (704) was a decent size albeit without a bath as we discovered . House keeping were excellent. Vietnam port visits were well organised albeit expensive when booked through Seabourn; plenty of local/private options. Fred shuttle buses into the city centres at every port. Onboard lectures were goid value. Cambodia visit was a bit of a non-event. We booked through IGLU incl flights, shire accom + transfers. HK accom at Harbourside Kowloon was more of a well licated 3* offering and definitely not 5*. Would not stay there again. Transfers good. Have booked for another Seabourn cruise, this time directly with Seabourn.
