Alan and I have been on the Seabourn Sojourn since Oct. 25 and there's finally enough of a lull to report in. What a beautiful ship! We think the suite bathrooms must be the best a sea.

Last night was our first formal night with an excellent dinner followed by a great show with tunes from Billy Joel, Barry Manilow and Elton John. But the best part was dancing at The Club (think Horizon Lounge) until 1 a.m. Two groups of entertainers seamlessly switched out so that there was no break in the music, keeping the energy level very high. I had been afraid that the Seabourn atmosphere might be a bit stodgy. Not so at all.

I'll be writing a review at the end of the cruise (mid-November). But so far, we are very impressed with Seabourn, especially the attention to personal service.
