I have been considering a cruise on RSSC and Navigator has availability for the dates I prefer. My concern is the mostly negative reviews on CC that show a pattern in the complaints. Vibration, worn staterooms, bathrooms badly in need of an update are three of the most common. I understand that this is an older ship. That said, for a luxury line, the reviews have me second guessing whether this will be a good choice. We are traveling on Seabourn later this year and reviews are consistently excellent. It will be our first with Seabourn. We sailed with RSSC many years ago and it was a stellar experience. Can recent Navigator cruisers share some insight on her condition? I've watched the most recent YouTubes and also read reviews on other sites. Thanks.

CDG is one of the most disorganized and unpleasant airports in Europe. I avoid connecting there at all costs. I've flown in and out of AMS twice this past year. While not as great as it once was, it is still a whole lot better than CDG on its best day.

While it is shame that a rule is necessary, I am happy to see that they are dealing with it.

I did and still remember it most fondly! The bathroom was fabulous, the food and service wonderful. It was the perfect size as well.

We will definitely be shopping in port for regional wines and enjoying them onboard. From this post, it appears the included selections are much more pedestrian than I would expect from Seabourn.

I use Vivino all over the world as well as at home. It is a great source of flavor profiles as well as ratings.

emailed you.

What has been your experience with cabin assignments? Category booked, upgrade, upsell offer?

Have you generally been upgraded or assigned to category booked?

We have a verandah guarantee for our April cruise and will be happy with whatever we are assigned. The ship has lots of open cabins. Will be interesting !

Hope you have better luck than I did! No one responds.

Still hoping for a referral for my 4/23/2023 cruise!

Emailing you now!

Same for us, but I am thinking it is because we are in Guarantee and have not been assigned a suite yet.

Have you found this to be the case across multiple Seabourn ships? We just booked Ovation, and that will be our first with this line.

Yes, travel insurance would have covered this, policy dependent of course. I don't ever travel without it and have had to use it twice.

When you are all about the food and wine, it's one of the greatest pleasures of travel.

100%. BA has the worst Business class IMO and IME.

This just changed and RCI sent out an email yesterday to Diamond Plus stating no more lounge access.

Not any longer. Just booked for April 2023 and already in penalty if cancelled.

Music Walk has dueling pianos and a BB King Blues Club. I rarely go out after dinner as I don't like ton sit in a show. On HAL, we were dancing every night in BB King and the band was just awesome! It was packed every night, pretty much until closing. The best live music I have ever seen on a ship.

I sailed on the Nieuw Amsterdam to Alaska recently. Beautiful, elegant, spacious with great entertainment. Food was meh, even in the specialty venues ( and we did them all).
