Happy to hear that this is a nice area of the ship to have a cabin, but sad to hear that your trip in August was ruined by a “Group”. Why was that?

My wife and I are in our 60s, and fairly fit and active. I have been a big fan of Andrew Weil for years, so I am intrigued by Seabourn’s Mindful Living Tours (all of which seem to have some aspect of enjoying nature/the outdoors, which we love). Can anyone shed any light on how these tours may differ from a regular excursion? Thank you!

I was able to grab a spot in The Retreat on our one sea day during a 7 night cruise, at a cost of $249.00. We will be sailing in the Med from Bodrum, Turkey to Limassol, Cyprus. Worth it? Pros? Cons? Thanks in advance!

Hello. My wife and I will be on Encore in the Mediterranean next year as part of a group. We’ve been on dozens of cruises, everything from Carnival when our kids were young, to Oceania more recently with other couples (we are in our 60s), but this is our first on Seabourn. We were just assigned Stateroom 1117. I have a few questions for anyone who may have stayed in this Stateroom, or nearby: Is it too high? is it too close to the front of the ship? Is it too far from the areas of the ship where the activities are? Will we experience noise from the nearby Observation Bar? Will we experience noise from The Retreat directly above us? Thanks in advance for any insight here!
