This from Travel Weekly:
Seabourn is standing by its decision to force an elderly couple to disembark the Seabourn Sojourn on May 12, after the wife missed the ship’s mandatory passenger safety drill before departure from Lisbon.
The California couple had booked a 20-day, three-leg cruise from Rome to Hamburg, and had participated in the drill when the ship left Rome on May 4. At the start of the second leg from Lisbon, another drill was announced and held, per industry policy.
But the 84-year-old woman wasn’t feeling well, and since she had participated in the drill before leaving Rome, she decided to skip it. Her 90-year-old husband attended both drills.
Within an hour of the Lisbon drill, the two found themselves standing with their luggage on the pier as the Sojourn sailed off.
Whoa ... wait a minute. There has to be more to the story. Lets not rush into judgement until we hear Seabourn's side. This is a company renowned for its outstanding service and attention to detail. It's the kind of cruise where they can't do enough for you and don't allow tipping. Seabourn - please pitch in. The story above is so "un-Seabourn-like" that it doesn't go down easily.
