Silversea has been my preferred luxury line, but I really am dying to try one of the new Seabourn ships. They just look so fantastic.
I'm assuming you greatly enjoyed the experience. Is there anything you thought could have been better or did everything meet your expectations?

Thanks. I'm also a huge Silversea fan and stepped aboard SQ determined to find some flaw! I have to say, though, that the ship is fabulous, the food possibly the best I've ever had (ranging from very good to superb) and the itinerary and weather were outstanding.
My only slight reservation was that service levels, although good, were not excellent. Seabourn has had to recruit a lot of staff in the last couple of years and I think the strain is beginning to tell. Having said this, the ship is barely two months old and given a bit more time and when things settle down, Silversea et al had better take note, because Seabourn are onto a winner.
They are certainly some of the most stylish ships sailing today.
