I think its naïve to think that a TA simply takes a reservation, works maybe 30 minutes and makes easy money. They may work very hard to get the best price, accommodation, transportation, etc. to simply have the client jump ship and book with an on-line agency that doesn't provide service, or not book at all. I am a Realtor by trade, and I can't tell you how many countless hours I have worked with clients that end up with exactly zero in my pocket. (or money out of pocket, and yes, I will rebate my commission on very high end properties)
-
My thought is if a rebate is that important to you, do not book with a "friend" that can't offer one. This would put a "price" on the friendship, and a small one at that!

Bruges....
-
Rejected? Huh??
-
More than not they will offer an upsell to a verandah suite, if available.
-
Most cancellations are prior to the final payment due date.
-
Hmmm.... It would appear that your TA is working with what is available. I'm sure you will get what you want as final payments become due. (Cancellations)

I just spoke to Seabourn and was told that deck repairs are expected to be completed during this one cruise.
Great news! Thank you!
-
Hopefully the repairs will be done before the October 5th cruise. I have friends on deck 7!
-
Could it be the OP is in a deck 7 suite?

A former Seabourn executive used to post here on the forums (Bgood), but was told that he no longer had the privilege to do so. I guess "never put anything in writing!"
-
I'll be onboard!
-
I would never book directly. My TA can offer the very best service at no cost to me, and usually great perks as well! It took a lot of frog kissing before I finally found my prince! Lol!

As another said in another thread- All inclusiveness should not dictate "luxury".
-
It seems that many people on this board confuse "luxury' with all-inclusiveness; the more inclusive the line is, the more luxurious. However, the industry recognized leader in luxury cruising, Hapag-Lloyd's Europa and Europa 2, are not all-inclusive.
The most informed post in this thread! IMHO
-
It appears that Scenic may take over a missed niche that SB once had. Great thread!
-
Great review! Thanks for posting!
-
May I kindly ask where these reports are located?

Bozidar, (Bozi) is a very talented and friendly HD! I've sailed with him on the little sisters, years back!

The poll has been extended to mid July!
-
Another very simple poll; what are the ages of those that frequent this board.
Let me know if you want to extend the poll date!
-
Seabourn will know it's your birthday, and will surprise you with a cake etc. If you are bold enough, you might ask the Hotel Manager (or have your TA call in advance) to comp a day at The Retreat for you and your friend!
-
For those affected, have your TA go to bat for you! They most likely can get you an upgrade, a better SBC or both! This is what they are there for!

Please understand that offering an email address, telephone number etc. to solicit a travel agent is strictly against CC guidelines.
The TK Experience on Seabourn
in Seabourn Cruise Line
Posted
Just off the Sojourn a few days ago. I found my meal at TK Grill to be the best meal of the cruise. (had the Dover Sole) Sadly, I found the food in the other venues to be either over/under cooked, and way too salty. I'm not a picky eater, but was unimpressed with the food this cruise. I became a Diamond member this cruise (250 plus days) so the difference was noticeable. The service, however, was as good as ever!
