Tallante Posted May 23 #2 Share Posted May 23 We boarded on Sunday and Aimee is still the cruise director. Captain is very pleasant but as we’re sitting in the Colonnade I can’t recall his name. Will post it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not Aimee’s first contract with seabourn. She started last September as the CD on the Quest. Had the pleasure of sailing with her last October…she’s a terrific CD, singer, and a wonderful person. From the quest, she joined the Odessey in late November for a couple of months, was off on vacation and ultimately joined the Encore a couple of months ago. Finally, she was a CD with silversea prior to joining seabourn las fall. Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sailing in August? Change can be good. As you know, made a big change after sailing that other line exclusively for 17 years. SB is a good fit currently. Sailing in late July and part of august but not on the same ship as you, I recall you posting about the pursuit sailing. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallante Posted May 25 #17 Share Posted May 25 I’m only repeating what I believed Aimee said, when I asked her how long she had been with Seabourn that it was her first .Seabourn Contract. The.Captain is Sijbe de Boer. There is a Seabourn Club members meet and greet tonight. Maybe we’ll get to meet the other officers there. A lot of the crew are new though, very pleasant and eager to please. The .Ephesus concert was well attended last night and there was a massive welcome from the crew when we arrival back at the ship. Unfortunately many people seemed to have used the opportunity to go walkabouts around the site, were walking around to take photos and general chat around their table in loud voices. We felt it was very disrespectful to the musicians. Music as always was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted May 25 #18 Share Posted May 25 That is a shame. I have been to the evening concert in Ephesus several times - at the Library of Celsus (the most magical setting) a couple of times, and inside the theatre (I think amphitheatre is actually the wrong name) a couple of times - more impersonal but still enjoyable. If you were at the Library, that is really inconsiderate and downright rude IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a much younger crowd on board that probably don’t understand the Seabourn way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On deck 5, We would never do a 7 day back to back again. Totally different atmosphere on board. With Ports every day nothing going on around the pool deck either.
