We were told we'd be tested before boarding on March 13th. When we got there, there was no testing at all. According to a staff member, corporate decided they wanted to test whether they needed to test anymore and used us as guinea pigs.

I for one want to make two points.

1) What they did, not letting guests know before, during, or after embarkation process was wrong.

2) I will be interested to hear from others that embarked after your sail date experienced similar protocols.

Opinions stated ore my own.

why did the Maitre d' put those cards in the places that he/she did?  

I always assumed boy girl boy girl…. lol

Thank you both for responses... My birthday is on our cruise.... and it sounds like they ditto what HAL does when you are in a Neptune and the event occurs...I also wondered how "elaborate" was New Years Eve on board.

Any thoughts - are we getting shiny ships this year?

Interesting, my biggest question would be are they financially in a position to "spruce the goose" as it were

As a newbie to Seabourn, I wondered how the cruise line helped their guests celebrate, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Christmas and New Years on board?

A response from Seabourn regarding my question!

Thanks for posting I attached a live link

Here is another Newbie Question:

For years we have done holiday cruises on either Celebrity of Holland America, while they were festive they were pretty much the same.

On Seabourn holiday cruises What is Christmas morning and New Years Eve like onboard?

The reserve wine list can be found on the Seabourn Source app, look under "Gourmet Dining", then choose the "View More" logo, scroll down to find "Wine" and tap the "Reserve Wine Selection" to download the wine list.

The app is currently crashing when I try to access the wine lists..(anyone else having this problem?)

By the way, RUCRAZY, the wine list shows 2009 Cristal at $315 per bottle.

Excellent !! (and not at a bad price either)(for a cruiseline)

Anyone know what is needed and/or recommended?

Unless things have changed Yellow Fever vaccination for one.

They have had Cristal previously

I wish I could verify supply before we board it would keep us from schlepping some aboard!

We typically like to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries with a bottle of CRISTAL. Since it appears Seabourn doesn't stock/sell Cristal, and I thought I searched the Seabourn website thoroughly what is cruise line policy regarding guests ring on a preferred beverage?

Does anyone know which terminal Seabourn uses 

 in Seattle?

Don't know 100% but my guess would be the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal Pier 91

Thanks for the post I am now more confused than before. 🙂

Yes both the Club & Observation bar have - at least pre-Covid

Thanks!!

Here is a question i have been wondering about. On the more mainstream lines (HAL and Celebrity) during so called happy hour before dinner (5-7 or so) we were able to enjoy a few noshes with our cocktail....Do any of the bars offer a hot appetizers with our before dinner cocktails?

According to the website:

Silver Connoisseur Collection $225 usd
Guests may select a total of three bottles from an onboard menu featuring six premium white wines and six premium red wines, including one dessert wine.

Gold Connoisseur Collection $450 usd
Guests may select a total of six bottles from an onboard menu featuring ten premium white wines and ten premium red wines, including one dessert wine.

So I think the idea behind 6 is that we need two to board, two to come home and two just in case.

Oh wow... fortunately for us we are driving to our embarkation port...

However, on the Ovation holiday cruise Miami to LA, 2 women got into a heated exchange at Seabourn Square. 

Was it popcorn worthy? LOL

Please forgive me

Appreciate the clarification The reason we chose Optum is we don't travel enough for 6 kits at once.

I am so happy there are those that can! Trust on that.. 👍
