Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Seabourn Ovation
everything was first class
Ship never felt crowded, and we never had to wait for drinks or a dinner table. Lunches were generally more interesting and flavoursome than dinners, which were a bit repetitive and lacking in imagination. Included wines were not great. Cruise itinerary was good with small ports that were easy to walk and explore, which was good because the ship's own excursions were very overpriced and of little interest to us. Some entertainers were truly childish and self indulgent. Fortunately the musicians in the bars were all good, but crying out for real jazz performance rather than just playing the same old songs from a laptop. Cabin was large and had plenty of storage. As usual, the staff in the cabins, restaurants, and bars were all excellent.
Very enjoyable time onboard - staff very attentive and made us feel very special. Entertainment was appropriate and fabulous. Dining and bar staff very professional. Cabin was comfortable and bathroom luxurious. Overall we would definitely love to sail with Seabourn again
Staff were friendly and helpful, suite was very clean and well serviced. Excursions were generally poor with too many coach trips for too long. Stop in Casablanca was very poor and 2 days far too long
