kathy16 Posted July 1, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2012 As "silver" members, we need to choose a benefit for our next cruise on Sojourn and I am looking at either SB club signature massage or a Day in spa at serene area, vs 10% off excursions. Any idea what the relative price of the spa amenities are? Thanks, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalliowner Posted July 1, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I notice if you download the Spa brochure from the already booked section it no longer shows the prices (it used to) Perhaps they do not want to frighten anybody:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaneBP Posted July 1, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The spa is pricey. Are you considering any excursions? That would make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redheadednancy Posted July 1, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The spa is pricey. Are you considering any excursions? That would make a difference. Jane, I love the free bag of laundry each week, but I wonder does that mean that if you put in shirts, they are ironed and come back on hangers, or is it just folded? I may have to ask Seabourn. We have a wash and wear tux shirt that you can't tell it from a dry cleaned one! We always put it in as back-up. When we sent the bag out normally, everything is ironed and on hangers. I just wondered if restrictions. The policy is in effect now, right? Someone has tried it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redheadednancy Posted July 1, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wash and folded only...no hangers RNH!:eek::mad::eek:Oh well....I guess I could iron, ha! Irons are easier to get than washers and dryers, and I have never minded ironing. A lot of people do....and on these trips you really don't have that much ironing, at least I don't. Anything good I send out and I can take an iron and smooth out the folds in the wash and wear. It's still nice to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaneBP Posted July 1, 2012 #9 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I too would love the laundry service since so much of my stuff is Land's End knits. I wonder if one can mix and match on different weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxburgh Posted July 1, 2012 #10 Share Posted July 1, 2012 As Gold members, we get two amenities. We are thinking about the 10% discount on excursions and the bag of laundry. The benefits are nice to have but not actually that valuable. Maybe around $200 altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's per person, so that means two bags of laundry per week if you are a couple, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The laundry room does sort of bring out the worst in people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Luxury Posted July 1, 2012 #13 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I noticed that too- therefore my question - about the relative value of the SB club amenities Kathy, Just pick the benefit that is most useful to you. The price of the benefit does not really matter,it is the benefit itself that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redheadednancy Posted July 1, 2012 #14 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I noticed that too- therefore my question - about the relative value of the SB club amenities That's true, value is relative as Mr. Luxury said.

Host Dan Posted July 1, 2012 #16 Share Posted July 1, 2012 It is truly per person. We are platinum, so we can actually get all 6 items if we wished. (3 per guest). I think we will do 1- 4 hour internet, 2 bags of laundry, 1 massage, 20% off premium wines and spirits and 15% off excursions. The % benefits are for all guests in the suite.

Flamin_June Posted July 1, 2012 #19 Share Posted July 1, 2012 On the Seabourn website is says that the 10% off excursions is per cabin. I.E. You get 10% off as a couple, deducted from the combined cost of your excursion. You can't both opt for it to get 20%. The laundry, however is per person. So if you are Silver (like us) you can have 10% of excursions and One free bag of laundry ( or whatever). It is unclear whether, if you are on a back to back, you would therfore get a second free bag of laundry on the subsequent leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare clarky Posted July 2, 2012 #21 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I had no idea these club benefits existed. I just looked at my account and it turns out I'm a Platinum member. How long has this program been in effect? We have sailed Seabourn for many years and this is the first I have heard of it. We have friends who sailed Seabourn last year for the first time. They have sailed Silverseas many times and have been loyal to them because they get free laundry. We encouraged them to try seabourn after we arranged the first time cruisers referral. They sailed for 28 days so they are already Silver members and do get some free laundry. Perhaps this will encourage other Silverseas passengers to give Seabourn a try.

Rare clarky Posted July 2, 2012 #23 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thanks Seabourntraveller. I know that guests loyal to Seabourn have noted the changes that have been made to what we all have come to know and expect from Seabourn. Some of these changes have not been to our liking but this change in my opinion is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathy16 Posted July 3, 2012 Author #24 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I know "value" is relative, but does anyone know what exactly a "signature massage" and:a day in the serene spa" consists of and comparably the approximate costs, so I would have a ballpark figure to assess what I want to choose. Thanks, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneer_1 Posted July 4, 2012 #25 Share Posted July 4, 2012 So ! To be absolutely clear - the better half and I are gold members and about to input prefernces for a September cruise. If I tick the 10% tour discount and the Internet options can the BH tick a massage AND the laundry and still get the 10% tours discount. Reason I ask is that when I tick my two (10% plus internet) everything else for me blanks out but BH still has two options UNLESS I also tick the 10% tours for her. A little confusing still.
