2seabournsailors

we just carry a couple of multi adaptors.....they also have USB ports.....so can plug them in anywhere....

Not long now! Hopefully the internet will behave and we can post pics of the trip. We are only doing the first 21 days, but will be interested to read about the second half of the cruise, as that's another one we hope to do one day.

I am also hoping for the continued good weather for July 16th Cruise. I am intending to write a report as we sail along, as long as the Internet co operates!

Yes. But this is what happens when marketing people don’t comprehend reality. Likewise with unlimited inet people will be always signed in. With apps needing multiple gigs. A day.

do you think maybe BBQlover is one of the marketing people? nah, probably not, the marketing people would love the Royalty!

being from Oz we are unfortunately used to these big, non refundable deposits, When Scenic first started advertising about their new Ocean ships, I thought at the time they are going to have to change that policy or they wont attract the American market. Doesn't seem like they are going to!

I am also really looking forward to Cruising Kirby's opinions on Scenic. I have been on their River Cruises and felt they were very good, staff were equal to Seabourn....almost.... I tried Ponant earlier this year, really enjoyed it, but would still prefer Seabourn.

Just got home from our 12 day Inside Passage tour. I was surprised that most people met the “casual elegant dress” code in the Colonnade every night (as well as the MDR). At least half the men wore sport coats. No one wore jeans per Seabourn’s rules. I enjoy dressing for dinner after an easy day. However, considering Seabourn is pressing their Venture excursions, it seems contradictory to have nowhere to eat but poolside (or your room) after coming back in from kayaking or being in the zodiac. The temperatures on our trip were quite cool (highs in the low to mid 50s) and the lack of casual dining availability was frustrating. Poolside dining was only tolerable with the heaters and too few tables had them.

 

We came back from a 7 hr excursion to the grizzly bear preserve out of Prince Rupert (I think my favorite excursion) and were too exhausted to dress for dinner. We went out to the pool and all the tables were full. Finally someone took pity on us and asked us to join them at their table. Service was slow because the facilities seemed overwhelmed.

 

 

 

 

Now I realize the cold weather influenced our situation on this trip. However, if Seabourn is going to try to attract new customers with active participation excursions, then they should expand their “casual” dining options.

there is certainly no need for jackets etc in the Colonnade. If its too cold for the Patio, the Colonnade is the best place for a casual dinner. A pullover, or long sleeved shirt in cold weather would be fine.

Someone has probably already answered this by now but Diamond/Diamond Elite get... The same 300 free minutes.:confused:

I also got that 300 free minutes, is that on top of my "Free unlimited"? Wow. So someone said its imminent that soon EVERYONE will get free wifi, that certainly dumbs down the Diamond and Diamond Elite benefits! (and will also slow down the internet speed)
