I Test Seabourn Expedition Cruising To See Why Cruisers Are So Unhappy

…conditioning was silent), fabulous bathroom, comfy bed, plush bedding, and nice balcony. It also had a mini-bar, coffee machine, Molton Brown toiletries including some with a Seabourn Molton Brown fragrance, refillable metal water bottles (and there were stations around the ship to refill them as well as jugs in the cabin) and Interactive TV. All cabins have a drying cupboard for wet jackets in Polar regions. Seabourn doesn’t have butlers at any g…

Which Cruise Line Is The VERY BEST By Region And Why?

…include the Greek Islands, and then Adriatic Itineraries sailing between Venice and Athens. Like the Caribbean, all the lines operate those itineraries during the Mediterranean season, and so while the same approach and choice of lines apply, there are, two big caveats.

The Best And Worst Things About Silversea Expedition Cruises

…nces like zodiac rides, landings and kayaking were included. We also got a nice parka, water bottle and a great waterproof bag/ rucksack.

I Paid A Fortune to Cruise On “New” Crystal Cruises. Was It Worth It?

Good And Bad News: My Verdict on The New Sun Princess Mega-Ship

…where they have pre-packaged sandwiches or salads and desserts which is a nice touch. But behind The Eatery, the American Diner takes up a lot of space but is always rather empty and underused. The Princess Arena, which is the theatre, is way too small. It holds between 900 and 1,000 people, but with at least 4,300 people on the ship at double occupancy, and often way more due to families sharing cabins at peak times like on my cruise, as they on…
