Quest Drydock

I understand Quest will be in drydock for a week? in May. Aside from the conversion of R2 to TK, anyone know what else is in the plans?

It can't be in May. The Western Europe cruise begins in Monte Carlo on April 23rd. It must be prior to that.

Perfect!! Just what I was hoping for.

I rather like Dunkin Donuts coffee and one of their 'coffee rolls' to go with. A definite improvement on Seabourn coffee. Thanks for sharing the info. :D:D

Senility is so wonderful... I was certain I read somewhere that Quest was going into drydock in May. Guess I need a cruise to reinvigorate my failing brain.

I will be joining you. I don't know about the "wonderful" part….unless I turn on my computer, I'm never sure of today's date.

at the thread "1st cruise on Seabourn". # 23 from Jeni Dallas. The Trans Atlantic cruise ends on 4/15 in M/C & the next cruise (we're on it) doesn't begin until 4/23.

JeniDallas, hopefully you know what the plans are...chime in??? I wonder if it's in dry dock in Italy?

According to many of the posts, if there is a problem, we should blame Thomas Keller !:D

I know Quest it the first slated for the R2 conversion but beyond that I do not. It definitely makes sense to do this before the start of Med season though!

They're dropping Thomas Keller and teaming up with Ronald McDonald and Guy Fieri so the restaurant will be made over.

regarding my inquiry about the dry dock:

"The upcoming dry dock scheduled for mid April before your sailing will be to transform Restaurant 2 to our new Signature Restaurant featuring Thomas Keller selections.

If you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance please don’t hesitate to contact us."

I'm glad to know that my intelligence was accurate.

Any suggestion that it is due to our presence on-board just prior to the dry dock would be a gross distortion of the truth and highly prejudicial. :D:D

I'd like to believe we are merely preparing it for dry dock!

I'm fairly certain we will deplete the Champagne supply, so it will be dry, indeed! :)

One of my favorite bartenders gave me the scoop on what they have to do during dry dock in terms of deep cleaning the bars. He said that the more we deplete the existing stock, the easier their job is. So I expect to see lots of extra encouragement of our pursuits!

The crew have to work hard enough as it is. It would be morally wrong for us to add to their workload by not assisting in the depletion process.

We will happily start this arduous task/responsibility starting in Manaus, making sure there's nothing left when we arrive in Monaco!

I love a good challenge. (We've just finished the key west food and wine festival -I was working and attending - so we are ready!)

We are doing the crossing from Ft Lauderdale and must disembark to get back on 4/30 for Lisbon to Stockholm. It was suggested to us that this was due to a private rental of the ship for that week. When we did the Caribbean in November on the Sojourn, that idea was somewhat confirmed by management.

on the Quest from 4/23 - 5/14, I'm pretty darned sure your information is incorrect. Please see above the 1/25 reply I received from Seabourn regarding the refurb. occurring after you all have all happily depleted the alcohol stock and before we embark (decidedly NOT a charter) on 4-23 in M/C. Maybe your Sojourn source was talking about the Sojourn rather than the Quest???

That makes the most sense and I had heard that R2 would be changed first on the Quest, so bring it on!

Yes, Quest is missing for one week between the TA and Monte Carlo on 23rd April, and my understanding also was that she is in dry dock to have galley equipment - and maybe restaurant alterations? - installed to be completely ready for the TK eateries, which start officially on 23rd.

Let's hope it all goes to plan.
