My party of 3 is staying at the Seabourn-sponsored hotel The May Fair. I have asked my TA to find out the status of our transfer. Maybe a very early departure and then lunch and a tour on the way to Dover?
-
Seabourn is back, baby. (And a few tips for newbies.)

Any cruise ship suite TV seems "tiny" compared to some behemoths in today's homes! -
Not quite a "full charter" since I am on that sailing, traveling solo, paying full price. I had an awful experience with my husband on a river cruise where about 90% of the passengers were one group. Granted a smaller ship, but I think full disclosure would be lovely if I am to spend 14 days with a charter group. Will Dawn become the "party ship"?
-
Am I alone here in wondering why you would suggest a fellow passenger knowingly flaunt the rules of a host country?
-
When was your last visit with the Maitre'd, last cruise with Silversea?
-
Somebody actually admitted that he made a reservation at La Terrazza for every night and then cancelled when he chose another venue. I'd be too embarrassed to admit that! And he really remembered to cancel? When at 7 PM?😬
-
Sorry, I meant "sea" not "port" days in my post. So, Nancy, do you think the Covid precaution for galley lunches has been lifted?
-
I am sailing on Dawn in August. Can't remember from pre-Covid about making dining reservations. My Silversea says 120 days in advance which will be in April. My question: how many reservations can you make at the non-fee vs. fee venues? I'm on 26-night B2B.
-
We had several port days on Miami-LA last spring, and no galley lunch. Perhaps Covid is the reason.

10% off shore excursions has disappeared
Mahogany replied to wesport's topic in Seabourn Cruise Line
I agree, that Preference box can be a bit wonky. I called Seabourn, and they made the adjustment. It's still greyed out but when I book an excursion, the 10% discount is available. -
Ah, there was a time when my choice of itinerary included Handre being CD.
-
Don't those using lounges, apply sunscreen? A good reason to use a towel on the lounge.
-
What does everyone booked on the Venture from Manaus think about the cancellation? Normally a dry dock visit cures the problem, but too serious?
-
Don't some suite categories have priority booking? Still, hard to believe that much unavailability.

Jeans now allowed in all dining venues
Mahogany replied to florisdekort's topic in Seabourn Cruise Line
I usually agree with your opinions, Markham, but I want to know the identifier of the "60 plus Americans embarking". Was it the red hats? I want to avoid being lumped into the grandma jeans group! -
I am arriving on January 1 because of flight schedule. My TA requested extra night with Regent at the Cullinan Southern Sun, and they say Wait List at the hotel hasn't cleared yet. I'm glad my TA booked an extra night independently, but I guess that means I have to pay for the transfer from airport to hotel. I just hope I don't have to change rooms.

My Boarding Pass was emailed yesterday. Ship is scheduled to be at Duncan Dock Berth E. Table Bay Hotel is lovely. Wish I was staying there. Unfortunately, the 3-day land package accommodations are at the Cullinan Southern Sun (ugh!) See you onboard. Fiona
-
Definitely serious. I had to borrow a stapler for Seabourn tags.
-
Do these require borrowing stapler or tape from hotel front desk (since you can't attach until right before embark)? 😄
-
Actually, I'm sailing on Venture this spring - and of course 🤤opting for a ride on the submarine! But I'm passing on the SALT excursions on my Dawn sailing this summer.
-
WHY are the SALT excursions so unreasonably priced?
-
My TA's company, independently owned with about 20 agents, does not rebate commissions to the client. I wouldn't think of going to someone new for that reason only. Her expertise and hard work are just too important to me.

I bought a fairly expensive bottle of vodka in Reykjavik airport, and in the US, as my bag was collected for transfer to my connecting flight, realized I still had the vodka. I asked one of the airport employees collecting bags for connecting flights, if he liked vodka, he said yeah, and I said, "here you go". A happy airport employee!

Isn't Explora pretty big? How many passengers?
