  1. I also was confused, but in your original post, you said you had to pack a bag and move and reverse the process the following morning. So, though you didn't answer Pcardad's question, it does look like you had use of a Seven Seas suite AND a concierge suite. Am I wrong?
  2. Might be a good value for 4 people, less so for 2.
  3. Evrima is Greek for "discovery". Why Greek reference? Who knows?
  4. When you say, "polo shirt", do you mean the knit short-sleeve shirt most wear for golf or tennis? Yes, it is collared.
  5. I hope you meant "norovirus" unless this is a new Silver Nova virus! 🤧
  6. Is it up to passenger to wash bottles? I read somewhere staff would do this - but who knows the previous "imbiber?🤢
  7. I think the illustration is the same for all the restaurants requiring reservations. If you choose "early" 7-8 for Silver Note it will be confirmed, but you won't be able to enter until 8. And if door doesn't open until 8, you can't sit at the bar for a drink either (before 8). IIRC
  8. OTOH posters have remarked, "Oh, if I'd only known about the Crew Welfare Fund, I'd have contributed". Well, maybe.
  9. Wow! I know you used to get 10 points/US$ but thought it was only 1:1 now. Tell me your 11-day cruise wasn't $127,000!
  10. Well I would expect the scallops to be better. But I want the name of this sports bar with complimentary wines!
  11. I'm confused. Is this your review or someone elses?
  12. My cruise was not a repositioning or "expedition" itinerary, just an expedition ship. See Post #24. I didn't expect the zodiacs to be used on that itinerary but was disappointed the submarines could not be used anywhere.
  13. My interpretation of Bohaiboy's comment was that they were sitting around talking waiting for food, not AFTER the food.
  14. The night I went to Lutece, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward were there. Shows how long ago that was!
  15. Really? Your booking decisions are made by an individual music player?
  16. I just returned from 26 days on Venture from The Gambia to London along the Atlantic coast. I've sailed extensively on SS, SB, and Regent, several cruises on Odyssey, Ovation and Encore. This was a non-expedition itinerary, so I don't know how I should have researched this, as some posters say. But I was disappointed in no submarine excursions (though I did have dinner with a few submarine drivers 🤔). When we were anchored, we took Zodiacs ashore to meet our excursions, which as stated above, required life jackets which were discarded ashore to be picked up for the trip back to the ship. Wind and salt spray. When I asked why tenders weren't being used, the answer was, "But you wouldn't have this experience "; I expect Zodiacs on polar itineraries, not on this. Tenders too expensive? More fun to make multiple trips in Zodiacs so those submarine drivers have something to do? BTW, crew as always, friendly and accommodating, if a bit stressed at times. And yes, few passengers in Colonnade at night. Maybe Seabourn's future is in expedition sailing, but not mine. I've done all that. Seabourn: build a new classic ship!
  17. But I hate the 3-tier pricing system at SS.!
  18. May I ask what suite category you were in "three times...love it"? Because I am disappointed in the standard balcony size on Crystal (as opposed to SS, SB, Regent), and the larger suites are very expensive.
  19. I didn't find that on two cruises on the Dawn last year. Yes, RCCL has been in charge for several years.
  20. Doesn't the Flybus take you to a Reykjavik bus terminal, and then you have to get a taxi to hotel or ship?
  21. I may have missed it, but has this subject ever been revisited by the OP? Did he/she just rant and disappear?
  22. The only change I would accept would be no liquor in the suite, since it's so easy to get a drink.
  23. I know, fat chance Seabourn clients were going to keep mum!
  24. Most (all?) items left on loungers are NOT in the valuable category, unless the book is a priceless manuscript 😀. So Regent’s liability may be minimal. I agree OP’s letter may have been so arrogant as to be ignored. But a word while onboard, stressing satisfying the majority at the risk of offending the minority , might be more successful in dedicating a staff member to “police” the area.
  25. Thanks, I'm only a single person!😁
