Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I will just chime in with my usual opinion about best time of year to visit. I believe the countryside around the British Isles is at its most glorious in May and June, and there's the added bonus in those months of long daylight hours.
  2. We were on a cruise when this occurred. It was years ago, I usually have a good memory for these things but on this occasion I cannot recall which ship or itinerary it actually was. (It may have been on Sojourn on a WC segment between Hong Kong and Singapore). I posted about it here at the time but the search function doesn't take me back far enough to find the post, There was more than a hint of mutiny amongst the guests. I certainly was not a fan. They only tried it two consecutive nights of the cruise, then never saw it again, Until now 😔
  3. I see the Sommelier is Joanna! Is this your current cruise or a past one? Good to know that Joanna is back with SB if current.
  4. The improvements mentioned in the email are mostly the re-introduction of amenities that SB had recently removed (!), such as a choice of soaps, daily printed version of Herald (next day's activities and dining options), complimentary jackets for the Alaska cruises, and a farewell gift. In addition, more recent improvements are Starlink internet available across the fleet, a new dining space to replace TK Grill, new dishes for the MDR.
  5. We have taken that itinerary two times at different times of the year. For us northern Europeans the climate in most of the ports is mostly very hot and humid. In March, for us the exceptions were Hong Kong and Halong Bay. It was mid March, Hong Kong was pleasantly warm, Halong Bay was cooler and damp. Depending where you live, what temperatures you are used to, you may want to bring a warmer layer and a light jacket, in addition to warm weather attire for the remaining ports.
  6. Absolutely, it's one of my favourite spots on the O class ships.
  7. Seabourn appeared to get flappy over GDPR when it was introduced. It seemed that they had no understanding of how to handle it. There was a thread here at CC but I can't find it using the board search function. We suddenly stopped receiving anything from them by email, including the ccomment email. Around that time I emailed a simple question to SB Club and got a response along the lines of 'dear very loyal guest, unfortunately we can no longer communicate with you due to data protection' 😂. Not in those exact words but close enough. I must see if I can find it, I'll post it here. Anyway, as I recall our TA sorted it for us. Eventually.
  8. We didn't get an email but our suite attendant left it for us when she did the turndown. It was a Tiffany pin. This was several years ago so things may have changed since.
  9. Seabourn absolutely has a UK website. From overseas https://www.seabourn.com/en/gb has previously worked for me.
  10. Same as the one served on Sojourn NYE 2019. Nice memory, thank you for posting the pic.
  11. Thank you so much for checking. What a horrible situation for the staff.
  12. Same here, If what has been posted is accurate I'm appalled. I'm not suggesting that @Love dubai is reporting inaccurately here, but I can see that there is a possibility that the situation has been misunderstood between the other passenger and the spa staff member. So I would like clarification/confirmation. (I'm aware that the spa staff relies heavily on commissions from product sales) Can anyone tell me which company operates the spa nowadays?
