Terrific Excursion on Sea Dream 1
By: Cruizer
Reviewed on: 07 Feb 2022
The staff was terrific on the Sea Dream 1. The food and drinks were good and accommodations were great. Loved the small size of the yacht. The massages were awesome. We enjoyed all of the ports but the last three ports were just laid back drinking and eating on the beach. Would have preferred a little more to do but with Covid I think that it was a little challenging. Loved the last day on the beach with the food, drinking and caviar. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend

Our expectations were exceeded, and that is rare! The staff (Silvio, Enes, Pablo, Francisco, and others) were fantastic! Our suite was super comfortable and luxurious considering we were yachting. The different decks and dining locations were intimate with beautiful vistas, inside and out. The food was excellent and the service staff literally brought us anything we asked for! Whether the small casino table action after dinner or the constant chilled champagne flowing, every moment spent on the boat cruising to the next spectacular port, it was pure relaxation and comfort with amazing vistas everyday! The Concierge desk was always open and greeted us with big friendly smiles. The Spa was wonderful for such a small boat and we did almost everything that was offered there. i can only say great things about Sea Dream (1) and the stops we made in Italy & Greece. We will consider another cruise with Sea Dream for sure!

The ship is wonderful and the crew is even better.. If that is even possible?. A five star dining experience . And the other guests add to the enjoyment of the entire experience.
The only criticism I have is the shore adventures. They need to insure that the tour guides listen to what the clients want and respond and not stick to the usual “packaged tour” .
The groups are usually small enough that the tour companies can be more flexiable. Or else let people know that if they want personalized shore adventures they should hire private guides . Wish I had understood this ahead of time…..

From the moment we got on-board, the entire crew wend above and beyond to support our every desire + some! The entertainment was great fun every night, and so much to enjoy from the Spa, the water toys, the many bars, even sleeping under the stars on the top deck outside in personalized pj's! The bartender was even delivering drinks to our big group by walking into the surf a dozen times over hours, as we celebrated life to its fullest. The private beach party (Champagne & Caviar) was something out of a movie scene. Absolutely fantastic experience. All I can say is: if you want to be utterly spoiled, get on-board SeaDreams and they rock your world & make cherished memories!

We have sailed with SeaDream on several occasions. This trip did not disappoint. There were 98 staff on board and 94 guests. It was very relaxing. An overall great experience!
The staff are excellent. The ship size (much smaller than the large well known cruise lines) which greatly expands your itinerary options. Our first cruise was on Princess and we slowly moved towards smaller ships until we finally discovered SeaDream. I can't see us changing. I'm not sure what more you could want in a cruise ship. It was named the 2023 #1 Best Small Cruise Ship and #1 Best Boutique Cruise Line by USA Today and Reader's Choice Awards while we were onboard.

our high-end "Caribbean Beach Tour"
By: purplewoman

Sea Dream 1 is a delightful small ship. The crew and staff all knew our names and turned themselves inside out to serve the passengers. COVID prevented our getting off the ship at many ports, so the ship anchored off a variety of beaches and tendered passengers to shore. Or, swimming, snorkeling, and other water activities were offered off the stern of the ship.
The food was wonderful, and Chef would prepare whatever you would like, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Christmas Day Beach Barbeque was particularly good, with a surprise visit from Santa on a jet ski.
Several bars were available, by the pool, at top of the ship, and the piano bar in the evenings. Entertainment at the Piano Bar was extremely good.
The downsides of Sea Dream 1 are its technology. Wifi was woefully inadequate, and we had to pay for it. And, the satellite television had only four channels, unacceptable for American passengers. However, we did book again for next Christmas.

We sailed on SeaDream 1, in January 2023 to the Southeastern Caribbean round trip out of Barbados for an 8 cruise. Being only a 110 person ship, there is a very personal experience w/the crew (who get to know your name, food, beverage requests by the second day). The executive chef Tomacz is present during each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) greeting guests, taking special requests, directly overseeing the food being given to guests, etc. The captain, was on deck around dinner to greet guests and inquire about our experience.
All of the rooms have windows (no balconies) are not huge but updated (several 110/220 outlets). There's only one dining location but off menu requests are gladly accepted, all food is made to order and excellent. There are several small places to unwind in the sun/shade on board, along w/the water sports platform to swim. It's not for people who have challenges going up/down steep/swaying stairs for the tenders. A great small ship w/tremendous service.
