hi, sorry to write in english,but thought i could post in case anyone has info/been on either of the sun bay ships,i am going on sun bay 1 thios week to st petersburg among other pl;aces for 2 week cruise,am a little worried as i read this ship is not stabilized anyone have any info on this

Hello Sunbourndt

I did a cruise two years ago with the sun bay I. This ship had a lot of lacks but - as I have been informed - the line improved the quality of this ship. So the sun bay was built without anti-roll bars. But in the meantime the line stabilized the ship. Since I had really bad experience with this ship I would really be gratefull, if you could report shortly about your cruise. The sun bay is a beautiful little ship. Unfortunately I travelled two months after the maiden voyage, so the staff wasn't trained. The food was good and tasty. the service was quite attentive. But the cruise director was horrible (As I heard, he was fired a few weeks later)

with best regards

Ernst

Hi David,

the ship went back to the yard in early 2002 to have stabilizers added.

Yes, the "Mona Lisa" is the former "Victoria".

Hallo lieber Raoul,

ich muss bitte bitte ganz dringend wissen, ob es auf der Sun Bay eine Wäscherei gibt. Hab Kunden, die nächste Woche damit durch die Ostsee kreuzen und bekomme ständig unterschiedliche Antworten...

Danke für ne rasche Info an

liebe Grüße,

Hallo Susanne,

ich weiß nicht genau, ob es eine Wäscherei gibt. Laut Berlitz gibt es keine SB-Wäscherei, aber einen Reinigungsservice sollte es eigentlich geben. Genau sagen kann ich das aber leider auch nicht.

Hallo Susi,

Ich war bei der Taufe auf der SUN BAY und habe mich intensiv in allen Bereichen des Schiffes umgeschaut und mit einem Mal stand ich dann auch in der Laundry....
SB-Wäscherei gibt es dafür nicht, aber eine komplette Laundry ist natürlich an Bord vorhanden.

Hallo Ihr Lieben Patrick und Raoul,

danke für die Info mit der Wäscherei, hat mir sehr weitergeholfen.
Nun das nächste Problem: der Veranstalter hat zu meinen Kunden gesagt, dass es keine Bademäntel auf der Sun Bay gäbe... Ist das denn richtig? oder könnt Ihr mir bitte das Gegenteil berichten?

Super vielen Dank für ne rasche Info.
Liebe Grüße,
eure Susi.

Hallo Susi,

Berlitz sagt, es gibt Bademäntel, allerdings hängt das vermutlich davon ab, wer das Schiff gerade betreibt. Fährt es schon wieder für Columbus Seereisen?
