Can you transfer your booking to a TA and still get their discount too? We have done this in the past and got an extra 10% off from our TA.

We have done this too, many times!

Never had a problem with our whites coming back grey!

We had a day in Dubrovnik last June as part of our Quest cruise. We were docked and Seabourn laid on a free shuttle bus to the town. We were told that Dubrovnik is accepting fewer ships now. None were anchored and there were just three ships in that day.

Sorry - no idea about steaming but someone will know!

I sent an expensive dress that was dry clean only (a year ago) and it came back fine. On the other hand a pair of shorts and a pair of trousers were ruined in the ordinary laundry bag we sent, I suspect because they dried everything on a high heat and these had lycra in them. In February this year we sent bags of laundry again but I put in huge capitals at the top of the list to please dry everything on low heat. All came back fine. No fried undies!

Welcome Pickups. Very reliable.

Thank you Floris!

We cruised Norway in June and into July. Apart from a rainy (complete waterproofs from top to toe required) day in Bergen we had amazing weather. It was warm enough to sit round the pool in our swimming stuff in a sheltered area. We mainly wore a very light jacket when out and about. Don’t know if we were just very lucky but it was fantastic, especially as it was the time of the midnight sun.

Thanks galeforce9. I will have a go!

Hope someone can help me!

Would anyone be able to give me the email address of the new CEO, please?

So there we are. It may very well be time for us nostalgic types to abandon the brand. After all, “times are a-changing”. Simple as that, it seems to me. But to whom do we change? After our disappointing cruise on the Ovation in February we looked at other cruise lines but it seems many are experiencing exactly the same issues as Seabourn.

On the subject of luggage we purchased Apple Airtags which we found useful on a long trip where a couple of things went wrong on our journey. At least we knew where our bags were!

We have booked a similar trip in February with APT and are flying in a couple of days before, just like you. We have booked the Oriental Jade hotel for the extra nights. Never been before but it gets really good reviews on Booking.com.

We have definitely had both Amaretto and Baileys on many Seabourn ships!

Really loving and enjoying your marvellous descriptions, Flamin_June! Have a fabulous time and keep 'em coming!

Hi from Yorkshire! I can help if you send me an email to mjberry56@hotmail.com Margaret

Luckily we did! But that was over six years ago so really glad we managed it. We cruised out of “Venice” last May and it turned into Ravenna. Not quite the same!!

Yes - it wasn’t meant to be like that! My PC converted into this - obviously my lack of skill but people have managed to read it.

We used the basic wifi last month on the Ovation. My husband watched a UK football match and we FaceTimed our grandchildren.

We disembarked two weeks ago and generally there were two shows each evening - 8.45 and 10pm.

Sorry, no. Never heard it mentioned but we didn’t have a sea day at all so I imagine that’s why.

No galley lunches on our recent two week Ovation cruise.
