On our Seabourn cruise this past New Year’s Eve, men were not required to wear a jacket for dinner in The Main Dining Room.
Was it a formal night?

When I tip on a cruise ship, I am not trying to correct a socio-economic inequity.
I am just trying to show a caring service worker that he/she is appreciated.
Let's not overthink this.

there is a fairly new feature that shows what night(s) are formal and those that are casual.
But it is not always correct. If you absolutely need to know which nights are formal, you will need to contact Crystal.

Does anyone know if Encore is going from Singapore to Dubai and onto Athens next March?
I don't know what is happening with Singapore to Dubai in 2025, but I just found out that the Singapore to Dubai cruise in 2026 has been canceled. The usual "deployment changes" has been invoked.

We have seen multiple times the last day some pax making a show of giving cash to a bartender or wait staff person.
But what we don't see are the numerous instances of discreet tipping. My hunch is that this occurs much more often than the cases of ostentatious tipping that you describe.
In general, I don't agree with the tipping culture in the United States, especially in the past few years, but when you develop a relationship with a ship's crew member that extends over several weeks, tipping seems quite appropriate and, in fact, difficult to refrain from.

Found this link today. Guess we'll be looking elsewhere after fall 2025.
Is there anything new here? Seems as though this was all mentioned previously.

The prices show up normally when I look at these cruises.

We are, however, concerned about provisions. We’ve been told that the goal is to turn it over with as little inventory as possible. It’s easy to envision many popular foods and beverages being in short supply.
Or you may be force-fed caviar and lobster as you near the end of the cruise

Looks as though there will be a Q & A with several members of senior management, including CEO Cristina Levis, at 4:00PM today. Might be a good opportunity to get some questions answered. I'd be particularly interested in what the expected timeline is for the promised ocean vessels (and why they seem to be less prioritized than future expedition vessels).

I’m six months out from our cruise and cannot access in suite bar preferences
I'm wondering if that feature has been eliminated.
I haven't been able to access it in many months.
No big deal, though, because you can just give your room attendant a list of what you want and it will be in your fridge later that day.

we cried our luggage off the ship
We also feel that way when we have to disembark the ship

Speaking of alcohol, is there a way to pre-order a bottle of spirits for the room prior to the cruise, or do you just ask the room attendant for this once onboard?

The Pan Pacific is connected to the cruise terminal (Canada Place).

When Seabourn tenders to a port, the itinerary usually says, "Tender Required; Wheelchair Access at Master's Discretion." A rollator is not a wheelchair, but for those who do use a wheelchair, it would be worthwhile to check about the specifics for each tender port in the cruise if getting off at a specific port is important to you.

So if you’re listening Seabourn, any change to reduce the “All inclusive” format will drive me to another premium cruise line.
Agree. Additionally, any change to increase the All Inclusive format (eg, including excursions and/or flights) would likewise strongly discourage me from booking any more cruises.

If you want to disembark at 7, you'll just need to ask guest services for that time assignment so that your bags will be ready for you in the port at the right time.
If possible, keep your bags with you and take them yourselves as you disembark.
Much quicker that way.

I did not receive this survey last week.
I, too, thought that I hadn't received the survey, but it turned up in my spam folder.
Now that I think about it, my spam filter did a good job with this email.
