This was our first Seabourn cruise...and our last. Past sailings have been on Oceania and I regret this trip was not with them, as well. I will repeat another review in saying the food was a huge disappointment for all the upscale hype associated with Seabourn. The selection of items lacked variety and portions were incredibly small. Size of portion is more appropriate for a ten year old. It was also challenging to find healthy selections. You could not even find a banana or apple without asking, and even then a banana took 4 days to rippen if you kept it in your cabin. One night I ordered the vegetarian crepe (filled with ricotta cheese and spinach). When the dish arrived, the plate contained merely a three inch crepe with nothing else. I was shocked to see such an embarrassing small portion especially for dinner, and when I questioned the waiter, he merely indicated I could order another portion. On another occasion, dinner came with frozen (not fresh) green beans that were terrible; almond pancakes for breakfast arrived without the almonds on top, which were brought by the table when the meal was half consumed; chicken breast was good one night and very dried out the next night. It didn't matter which of the two restaurants you ate at - service, selection and portion size were all disappointing. Even dinner at the Keller Grill was nothing to rave home about. On the positive side, the cabin was lovely and shore excursion size was kept to no more than 25. However, I do not feel Seaboun is worth the money invested and will return to Oceania in a heartbeat.
