If Seabourn wants to stay in business they have to provide a product that appeals to the widest possible demographic. Those of us who enjoy formal nights, dressing for dinner, maybe a slightly more sophisticated experience compared to what is considered normal and acceptable elsewhere these days are now in a minority. Carnival rules. Sad but true.
We did notice that many of the more senior staff, restaurant managers, bar supervisors, etc were also relatively inexperienced too so staff in need of guidance and support weren’t necessarily getting it.
As I say, we’re willing to give Seabourn the benefit of the doubt during this period of post Covid adjustment, but loyal customers or not, if the “new” Seabourn simply doesn’t make the grade any more we will go elsewhere although based on our admittedly limited experiences with Regent and Silversea I’m not sure the grass will necessarily be any greener. All these companies are in the same boat (pun intended) in this brave new world.
