Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. To be honest. I thought you were describing us! And we love SB...after a long flight on Monday we're embarking on Tuesday for another one! We love meeting new people on our cruises and hope we bump into you on a cruise maybe some day! There are formal nights but they are only once or twice on a 2 week cruise and there are other options of venues to eat at when it happens. Also it's not as dressed up as some imagine! Personal choice really I hope you take the plunge! πŸ‘πŸ˜Š
  2. It's lovely up there, we'll be there next week! We particularly enjoy it when there is a sail away or Epicurean event. πŸ˜€
  3. Yes, absolutely it is. It is internet. I send pictures, messages and videos on WA whilst on board and even have the odd call or two.
  4. The menu looks delicious, just my sort of choices of food... and the cocktails.. wow! 🍸
  5. Hi @Yorkieaboard Fellow Brit here! Having been on SB cruises for many years, my husband now doesn't take a DJ, but does take a couple of jackets. Non formal nights, he wears a long sleeve shirt, sometimes a jazzy pattern, and chinos or slacks (trousers) When dining other than the Main Restaurant he sometimes wears a smart polo shirt or a short sleeve shirt and sometimes a Hawaiian shirt or similar with chinos, especially outside on a hot weather cruise. Over the years Seabourn has got a lot more casual but we still like dressing up in the evening!
  6. I love Sojourn... it was the ship for the first 4 cruises we did with SB so it holds a special place in our hearts! Say hello to the dog on Deck 5 for me! We are Quest in February and have just got to get ourselves to Buenos Aires... what a long journey that is! Have a good cruise! πŸ₯‚πŸ˜Ž
  7. I don't want a 'plated meal' at lunchtime (unless I have my treat which is a Napa burger I indulge in just once a week! Or the fish at the Patio) . I want the freedom and informality of the Colonnade at lunchtime, I want to pick and choose and I couldn't cope with triple the choice... there's quite enough choice for me. You are obviously not happy with SB anymore, everyone to their own and I am glad you have found your niche with another cruise line. For us... we are happy with our choice of SB and very much looking forward to our next cruise in 62 days, can't wait!
  8. I'm not 'a poor punter sputtering in the Colonnade' and I don't 'grab' my food I take my time deciding what I would like to partake of washed down with a nice glass of chilled Rosé sat outside in the warm sun watching the white trail as the ship moves through the waters! Can't beat it. Cheers! 🍷
  9. Good luck. However.... trying to check on our guest registration for our upcoming cruise is impossible! I know they have changed the website, but its unworkable at the moment.
  10. It's 2pm here and if it was a sea day, I would hope to be in one of my favourite places... either deck 5 or above the sky bar on a double padded bed, with a good book!
  11. We've been on Deck 5 before and it honestly wasn't a problem. If I got a good deal, I would do it again. We just like high up becaue we don't suffer from seasickness!
  12. Yes, and FCC 5%, and we are actually due a free week (Milestone Cruise thingy) but we are going to wait until we have two weeks free which we are not far from.
  13. Well done! We started off at V2 (we're never worried about being midship), but all that was left was a connecting room, then moved on to V3 but the only two available were next to a V2 (hardly worth the extra expense) so went for a V4 staggering distance from the Obs Bar!
  14. @cruising.mark.uk Thank you! I get lots of emails from SB, and no doubt I had this, but didn't pay attention. We've just booked!
  15. I can't imagine for one moment you will be turned down! We also asked for a special meal (both our birthdays are days apart and for once, we were on a cruise for that!) and we had a few people for a special Indian banquet in the Restaurant. SB could not have been more helpful and someone in Guest Services designed a really fun invitation. We did start to arrange this over a week in advance though. The person to speak to was the man in charge of Restaurant (sorry I am not good at knowing titles!) We were on a long cruise so the Executive Chef chatted to us about the sort of dishes we wanted... it was a great evening, and I am sure you will have the same! We also have never asked for any special request at all, as we are go with the flow people and we only did it this time as it was an occasion for us... I can't imagine it will happen again. I have seen the most labour intensive requests imaginable, better not say what, but it caused disruption to three restaurants on one night!
