Eugene, I see where you are coming from with the "Spirit" thing. Ngaire was giving a review on the Seabourn Sojourn, so far apart from the "triplets" concept.

So to not confuse others:

"Seabourn Spirit" - small, one of the older "triplets"
"Silversea Spirit" - one of her NEW larger ships, not a part of this discussion.

Ngaire, I enjoyed your review for the Seabourn Sojourn. I printed it out to read, as it was comprehensive. Embarkation, either you get lunch or you don't. I am glad I know not to expect this if I book a Seabourn cruise, having in the past being able to go to pool deck and get lunch on Regent and stroll the whole ship. Sitting in a lounge for two hours not good, even worse if you are expecting freedom of movement.

Room layout. Can't cheat on the facts about inches and watts, space between bed and walls, how many plugs there are, etc. I just never think about it unless it annoys me with my appliances, chargers, etc. Wasn't much of a problem with Ngaire

I felt whatever negative points you made were based on facts, just the way things are. Didn't like the thing about the reservations to one of the alternatives, calling and calling.

Those things about the low ceilings and the all-white decor in the restaurant, I have already read about endlessly on cc and a couple of other boards.

Bottom line, I would LOVE to cruise on Seabourn one of these days! Especially if it were a BK cruise, like Eugene (Dreps) said! We did this on Silversea after I had already tried it an loved it. I think we should all be open to change. Lord knows Seabourn has some great deals out there if you are on their email list like I am. And they have about the most loyal board I have ever read on CruiseCritic.com
