If you like an outstanding buffet and 6 star cuisine, spotless decks, ultra comfortable lounges and recreational areas, posh penthouses with attentive cabin service, flowing booze and daily caviar, friendly crew and officers who know your name, great nightly entertainment, then Seabourn’s Ovation is the cruise ship for you! The first Med cruise post Covid with so many safety features was a blast from embarkation to our return to Piraeus 14 days later, helped by hot sunshine every single day and Greek islanders desperate to welcome us.
Honestly, we’ve cruised lots of times and eaten at some of the globe’s best restaurants, but the German chef and his team could not be faulted.
Every day, new menus and high quality produce! We occupied Penthouse #1020.
Very nice but such a tight squeeze in the bedroom area! Casino was rubbish.
No other gripes at all! Seabourn matches Silversea for overall quality but the latter doesn’t regale guests with Molossol caviar whenever asked for! And Regent are a couple of notches behind these, in our view.
