I understand that many people like padded patio furniture. I don’t doubt they are more comfortable, but I feel that the basis chaises are cleaner. I can’t stop thinking that sweat from bodies baking in the sun (or even the heat in a shaded area) and their oils and lotions and potions penetrate the cushions through the towels.

@jdk-atlga I have seen those. IMO, they repeat the same 2023 and 2024 itineraries? Perhaps I missed it, so have you seen anything for 2025 that is new?

@whystayhome could it be that Quest is having problems that Ovation is not? Friends who sailed Ovation recently do not have the complaints you report. Sorry your experience as you reported.

@californiacruiseluvrs although I have never sailed the other cruise lines that you have - other than SilverSea - I find the patio furniture quite comfortable, and certainly wide enough, and not sure why having a logo is in any way important. And Seabourn Square is not to your liking? I can’t comment on your comparison because I’ve never been on a Russian breadline. Since your post suggests you have, how exactly is it akin to a Russian breadline? I can’t even imagine how absolutely awful a Russian breadline is.

Is anyone else wanting to see more variety in itineraries? Or am I the only one bored as having been to so many places already?

There was a passenger streaming Peleton classes but she said she used the upgraded package.

I love it. We had so many that we would discard the old ones when the new ones arrived, not ever imagining they would be replaced by emails. And now, no use for them, except to look at then with fond memories. Thank you for posting.

Is it Theory, which makes a wonderful no-iron jacket? If not, what designer or brand?

So nice to see a positive comment. Seems like so many flock to negative comments but your post just feels good. Thank you.

I believe Hobar is correct. While the ADA defintion of service animal is limited to dogs, there is a separate provision in the regulations about miniature horses but as MarciAnn points out, it does not apply to cruise ships. Rather, that provision applies to the ADA regulation for governmental/public entities, not commercial. Cruise ships are commercial. I would Ike to think MarciAnn is correct in that Seabourn is not allowing certain guests preferential treatment to flout the rules as others have suggested, it may not be Seabourn but rather the passenger himself or herself who takes advantage (“games the system”) since it is not difficult to do given the limitations on what a business may ask an individual.

Is that true? Has that ever happened? I would assume that even if the CD does not like your team (I can’t imagine not liking an entire team - maybe just someone or some on a team), the CDs are trained (required) to refrain from displaying such emotions. I do think CDs do a good job of making believe they like everyone, which can sometimes be quite difficult.

Theory makes a wrinkle-free blazer / sport jacket.

It’s the entitlement mentality that causes so many to flout rules - or just pick and choose ones to follow that they like. (Funny thing is, when I started reading your post, I got excited that perhaps you CAN bring 2-3 oversized carry-ons on board. Oh well.)

Hobar, looks like you might have had another thread you started.Here is what I posted on that one asking about whether packing for Iceland is similar to packing to Alaska: Almost but not exactly. Heavier clothes for Alaska because of all the time on the water kayaking and in zodiacs. More time on land in Iceland so thinner, less bulky layers better. And on land you will be moving more so that alone will generate heat

Wondering what everyone thinks of DJ vs live music. I would like to think live music in Obs Bar and then DJ later in evening. I just like music in all forms, forums and venues so as long as there’s music, I’ll be happy.

Life it too short not to do everything I can. Looking forward to the sub!

@frantic36 Just wondering how one gets to be a self-anointed fashionista. I have not been on CC for a couple of years at least and it does seem to be the same old same old (literally??) complaining about jeans. I sure hope you are able to enjoy your cruises despite having other passengers not adhering to your particular interpretation of the dress code.

You would be amazed how much can be packed in carry-on luggage along with carry-on purse or backpack. Seriously.

Haven’t cruised since pre-Covid. Packing for upcoming trip and doing carry-on only. Need much more sun-screen than allowed in TSA travel-size bottles and would like to avoid packing multiple TSA size bottles.Is sunscreen still provided on deck?

Sometimes in the price and style as well.

Because even with unlimited laundry, articles of clothing do get ruined. White jeans came back with a blue tint, a puckered shirt came back with half the puckers ironed out (apparently someone realized half way through that the puckers were the style), exercise leggings came back faded, etc.
