I know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Titus Hank I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I had the joy and pleasure of being on the Seabourn Ovation for 52-days, sailing from Athens to Hong Kong November 2019 - January 2020. Absolutely loved every second. As a solo traveler, the fabulous crew looked after me making sure I never ate alone, unless I wanted to. The food was amazing and the galley prepared a special meal for me and new-found friends. Watching your video brought back memories of an extraordinary trip. You created a beautiful video of the public rooms, thank you.
My God, your voice. I've become addicted to cruising since I got married 2 years ago, and whenever I'm about to go to a new ship, I always watch your videos to get ready and excited!
Did 21 fabulous days through the Baltics and then up and down the Norwegian fjords in 2019 on the Seabourn Ovation. Thank you for such a lovely video that does exquisite justice to such a lovely ship.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Please don't forget to subscribe (if you haven't done already) as there's plenty more to come! :)
Richard Phillips Hello Richard, do you have a Photo album or blog that you may have created for this trip? We are considering our first Seaborn vacation over the weekend.
Visit With Us - yes, this is our 8th Seabourn cruise but first on the Ovation. We loved it. I was in the background of your Odyssey Caribbean vid last year.
Another great luxury cruise vlog. I think I need to take the Cunard to your side of the pond and then change ships and go on from there. You make it all so enticing.
Hi Rich. Excellent video as always, and hot off the presses as I saw you just posted this this morning. Do you have a cabin tour for this one? I could not find a cabin tour, and likewise, for Encore.
Thanks Bob. No suite tour on this one I'm afraid, as we only had a couple of hours on the ship and it was sailing full. Our Encore video will have a suite tour included in it as we did a full voyage on her. :)
This is such a pretty ship and a very good tour- watched tonight for I think probably the fifth time. Why we have six knuckleheads that gave it a thumbs down I don’t understand 🤷♂️
Cruising means different things to different people. Some folks are attracted to luxury and more personalized service and are willing to pay for that (me), while others simply want an inexpensive vacation with endless family focused activities, and they'll sacrifice service and luxury to get it. For me, today's mega ships are way too big. The airlines went through this in the 80s. Now they complain about the impact of the changes they've made to their own industry.
Over the next few years, we're experimenting to see what size of premium/luxury ship suits us the best. The sweet spot for us is somewhere between 600 and 1,200 passengers. But there are several options. Any advice is appreciated.
So many amazing options in that size range. Depends very much on budget, needs and expectations. We have videos on Seabourn, Silverseas, Azamara, Viking, Oceania - all of which would fit this criteria. Unfortunately we have yet to sail on Regent so can’t really comment on that. But please watch the videos and then maybe join us for a live on UA-cam and ask more questions if you have them and we’ll try to answer them. Thanks for watching. 😊
Bigger is not necessarily better, this would appear to be very true for Seabourn. Seabourn like Crystal were started of the back of Royal Viking Line's original three Identical ships, it's my understanding (this was happening when I first started on ships on the RV Sky 03/85) that it was some of the top brass of RVL that thought that the company made a big mistake lengthening all three ships by 97 feet. Seabourn seems to have forgotten the past and are on their third set of ships gaining in size each time. Whilst I see a big advantage of having more dining options, I fail to see the advantages of spaces that are hardly ever used. I have to say that IMHO, Regent Seven Seas and Azamara (seen so far in ultra lux cruise lines) have surpassed Seabourn. Sorry I should be writing to the cruise line not you. Thank you for yet another excellent set of videos.
It's good to talk about these things honestly David, so thanks for your interesting opinion. Many Seabourners will agree with you, but unfortunately, market forces tend to rule in these respects. And bigger means more viability. Sad, but ultimately true.
Thanks for watching Mark. Yes, there are always designated smoking areas on every ship so I believe. From memory, the smoking area on the Ovation, if it's the same as the Encore, is to the right hand side of the bar that's near the pool. There's a nice seating area here near to the bar with views over the pool area, so smokers are not stuck in a corner, which is what happens a lot of the time. :)
Did you film this during a regular trip? It feels so uneventful! I mean I'm not expecting it to be like a Royal Caribbean or Carnival cruise but certainly not this boring. I'm having second thoughts about booking with them.
As it’s a ship tour we try to film the areas to show them at their finest rather than when they’re busy. Seabourn have plenty of activities, parties, deck events etc but these don’t feature on this type of video. Please take a look at our Seabourn playlist and you will find a video on at least one of their signature events 👍
Thanks for watching. There is a reason for this. It looks ‘lifeless’ simply because in order to preserve and respect the privacy of other guests, I film these tours when the ship is quiet. I’m showing off the ship, not the overall ambience. Some guests take offence at being in the scenes. 🙂
@@visitwithus Fair enough, thanks for the answer, it's just that I've been on board viking cruises twice and the ambiance was quite festive, entirely opposite to what's shown in your video, and I was considering taking my mother on a Seabourn cruise for her 70th birthday and despite her age, she really enjoys a lively atmosphere when vacationing...
This must be the third time I've watched this but this time it's 'View for Ukraine' 🇺🇦 I'm so looking forward to our Caribbean cruise in January on Seabourn Ovation.
Have YOU sailed on the beautiful Seabourn Ovation? What did you think of her? Let me know by leaving a comment!

@Titus Hank It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D

Thank you so much Miguel! We're glad to be of service! ☺
Lovely presentation... Thank you 😊
Thank you ☺️
Hi Rich. A wonderful Sunday treat today. Exquisite video of the Ovation. Thanks.
Thank you and thanks for watching Jeremy. :)
Loveley work once again my friend. Indeed a beautiful little ship.
Thank you sir. :)

Thanks for watching Peter 👍
I'm loving your videos. Very well done with excellent commentary. Thank you!

Great video. Yesterday we finished a stunning 15day Norwegian cruise on the Seabourn Ovation. Very nice, very nice indeed.
Richard Phillips Hello Richard, do you have a Photo album or blog that you may have created for this trip? We are considering our first Seaborn vacation over the weekend.
Thanks Richard. How was the trip? Have you sailed on Seabourn before? :)
Visit With Us - yes, this is our 8th Seabourn cruise but first on the Ovation. We loved it.
I was in the background of your Odyssey Caribbean vid last year.
Splendid video. Many, many thanks.
Thank you 😊
Thanks for watching 👍
WOW. Stunning ship is right. That has to go on my bucket list. Exceptional tour video as always. I truly appreciate your work. Thanks!
Thank YOU for your continued support and appreciation of this channel, Patrick. :)
Beautiful ship and great video as always! 😍
Thanks Carole. See you soon! :D
Another great luxury cruise vlog. I think I need to take the Cunard to your side of the pond and then change ships and go on from there. You make it all so enticing.
Thanks Wayne. We've been thinking about doing a transatlantic again lately, so we may put that on the 'soon' list! :)
Wonderful video Rich! I've watched it a few times dreaming about booking a Caribbean cruise. I really think I'd love the ship.
Thanks Angela. Given ur conversations on Twitter I think you're closer than you think to making that decision. :D
Wonderful
Thanks as always Wellard. :)
Lovely ship, Seabourn is on my list for sure.
Seabourn ships are absolutely gorgeous Lou. Can't wait to get back on one. Happy times!
Seabourn Ovation is great.
Thank you for watching 👍
Now I've booked I'm enjoying it even more.
Well, that's really good to hear. :)
Wonderful video, thank you!
Thank you for watching Donald. I hope you consider subscribing if you haven't already done so. :)

Bravo bravo
Alpha Charlie! ;)
Absolutely stunning..enough said :)
She is, isn't she? Thank you so much 😀
When I spent time on seabourn odyssey I definitely used the card room on a regular basis😅she was beautiful ship and on other voyage is in our future!
Odyssey is a beautiful ship eh? To us, it's just the perfect size.
Beautiful ship
Thank you for watching! :D
You put together beautiful high quality videos. Would you mind sharing what kind of camera you use?
Hi! Thanks for your feedback. I use mainly a DSLR, but interspersed with a GoPro, an Osmo Pocket and an iPhone. 😀👍
This is such a pretty ship and a very good tour- watched tonight for I think probably the fifth time. Why we have six knuckleheads that gave it a thumbs down I don’t understand 🤷♂️
Thanks Bob. :) Thumbs down are always a bit of a mystery. I think sometimes people do it just for the sake of doing it. 😐

Is all the food in all areas part of the package?
Yes, all of it. 👍😀
Awesome 😍😍
Thanks for watching Anna. :)
@@visitwithus You're welcome! 👍🙋♀️
Beautiful!
Thank you for watching Nathan. :)
In the central area where people congregate where there are lovely tasty things to eat ..are they part of the complimentary package?
Oh yes indeed! Sooo tempting too. Please wait for the dining guide. It’s delicious! 😍
I've cruised on the Encore and loved every minute of it. Only time I saw the card room used was for a business meeting. Sacrilege on a cruise!
A BUSINESS MEETING!?! Sacrilege indeed!

Which rooms offer butler service
Only the top suites I think - though we’ve never stayed in one so aren’t 100% sure 😆
Thanks for watching.

Have I just seen lifts/elevators on this vessel. 😉
Yep, they're there Liz! :D
No smoking areas?

My god this ship looks lifeless, and the editing doesn't help. Luxury doesn't have to be so dull...

Ahh, you're going to LOVE Ovation. I'd love to have a voyage on her - we've only been on for the day. :)
Cool off in a hot tub… is that an oxymoron?
😂😂😂
Thanks for watching 👍
Had to stop watching after the third fast-zoom transition
Yeah, done away with them pretty sharpish.
