These talks were about astronomy, nothing to do about Canada, New England, the history of where we were or anything related to our cruise. Very disappointing.
Interesting, on the cruise following yours there were no hosted tables. Perhaps because no staff wanted to listen to service concerns throughout dinner.
We agree. Find the supplied bottles heavy and cumbersome. We stopped using them the second day and will simply use recyclable plastic bottles instead in the future.
Correct. It makes no sense to me, but that is the Seabourn process.
We much prefer the Regent process where, if you have OBC, you can use it to reserve special tours (most tours are included) or for other purposes well in advance of your cruise.
