    In a couple months, my wife and I will embark on our 9th Seabourn cruise. We've "dated around" a little, and keep coming back to Seabourn. We thought a Windstar last year on one of the old Seabourn ships might come close to the experience, but we were disappointed. I DO believe that the difference in quality is primarily because of the attitude of the crew. I don't know how they find these kids, but the difference between them and the crews of other lines just don't compare.....

    • @visitwithus

      Generally it’s smart but not too formal on Seabourn. They do have formal evenings but on most evenings guests just dress as they would if they were going to a smart restaurant or cocktail bar.

  • @ManWhoLovesTheMary
    @ManWhoLovesTheMary 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Seabourn has never appealed to me, just because of the design and decor of the Seabourn ships. But that smaller and more personable experience has been appealing to me a lot lately. Even with cruise lines like Princess, the buffet and cafe and high tea food in particular wasn’t exactly what I hoped or expected. But with a cruise line like this, I feel like it’d never be a miss no matter where the food is from. Canapés. I’m a gunna sound so suave using that term more often. That sushi bar, I would be there every day…for a SNACK!! I wonder if there is a surcharge for it or if it’s included.
    I don’t know if this is a problem for anyone else But the names of all the food items in the lower-left-thirds (which is an incredible extra privilege that I appreciate in these videos) are a little too low for me, because when I want to pause to get another look at the name of the dish, the TH-cam timeline and playback thing covers it and makes it hard to read. If they could be raised up, just a tad tad bit, I will be eclectic in my knowledge of all these different delicious looking foods.
    In other news, that deservedly titled high teatime looks legit. And that is saying something.

    • @visitwithus

    The scones are outstanding at afternoon tea, though 4-5pm time is too close to dinner. I’d be able to enjoy it more often had it been offered at 3pm.

    • @visitwithus

    Looks very nice! I will say though that the dining aboard Regent ships is superior. For example, lobster tail, filet mignon, dover sole are all available nightly in Compass Rose. Prime7 aboard all of their ships elevates the caliber even more. I will give Seabourn the nod on the availability and presentation of caviar.

    Seabourn cooks meat dishes really really well. I’m normally a seafood person, but after tasting a bite of my husband’s steak one night I started ordering meat dishes too. I suppose this isn’t surprising given Seabourn’s mostly American/UK customer base.

    Very well done. I must admit I am a fussy eater (unlike my partner who is far more adventurous), being very much a meat and potato man (although I do like it well presented). But I think I liked most of what I saw so much I was salivating by the end. I’d certainly consider a voyage on the basis of the food I saw alone.

      Correct (at the time of our cruise). You got me thinking now with regard to Silversea and whether Atlantide was open every day or not... Also, The Restaurant may well be closed, but you can still enjoy full table service for breakfast and lunch in The Colonnade, which is obviously far more popular with guests otherwise I guess that they'd open The Restaurant if there was demand. :)
