Reviews
"Suzanne is fabulous in the Observation Lounge, she knows the guests and what they want and supplies this every day. She is an asset to the team. Suzanne is not only an exceptional pianist and vocalist, her ability to socialise and meet the guests is a vital part of the job and she executes this perfectly. Suzanne is perfect for this job as she has all the qualities you want from not only a musician, but from a crew member." Ross Roberts, Seabourn Cruise Director
