In my experience Seaborn (140 days cruising on 12 or more cruises) does not allow guests---unless they recently changed their policy. Since 9/11 cruise lines are very fussy about who they allow on board---and rightly so.
We were fortunate enough to have clients in several of the med ports visited regularly by SS and we took a large suite + a connecting suite which we used for meetings (801+802 on Shadow) and use the cruise for meetings etc.
They allowed the visitors on and fed and watered them including very lavish dining in the suite including champagne etc. They used the pool and bars with us. They wanted their details including passport numbers etc a few weeks in advance. They didn't even make a charge. Holiday plus work ......
In fact one client joined us on a couple of subsequent cruisse so it was clearly good SS marketing.
