Safety standards were rigorously enforced and, despite the ship’s small size, a full medical facility was available.
A Muster Drill was held prior to initial embarkation, in the The Restaurant. Names of all guests present were recorded and one couple did not show up for the drill; they were paged repeatedly while guests waited. We were later told that it turned out they were not actually on Seabourn Sojourn, having been delayed en route to the ship. If so, cooling our jets in The Restaurant and a subsequent tardy departure (more than 20 minutes) may have been caused—at least in part—by a bookkeeping error on the part of the Seabourn Sojourn crew.
A Medical Facility is located on Deck 3. It was staffed 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., and 5 to 6 p.m. daily.
Most public areas of the ship were designated as smoke-free. Cigarette smoking was allowed on the starboard side of the Observation Bar, the Sky Bar, and the outside deck of Seabourn Square (the latter was the only area where cigar and pipe smoking was permitted).
