Has The Quest been toned down recently?

[jaygee77]

I just got off a four night cruise on the Independence, my seventh RCI sailing. I've seen the Quest every time, but this year it seemed like it wasn't as risqué or edgy as I've seen in years past. Is this a concerted change to tone things down, or could my experience just have been a one-time fluke?

Only attended a Quest once and that was this January. Did not see it as risqué as I thought it would be. It was on Enchantment.

It changes from cruise to cruise.

Didn't think it was toned down at all. The only thing i didn't see that they normally do was bras

It completely depends on your Cruise Director.

No change to what we saw on Vision and Oasis recently.

[Virtopia]

My last one was on Adventure and it was a typical quest, with plenty of skin being seen LOL

[Langley Cruisers]

It is also dependent on how much people have been drinking. We went to one some years ago that was definitely R rated. :o

was on the adventure with Mercedes last week during spring break I thought it was the risqué ish of all my 10 rccl cruises

We've been on the Indy and Navigator twice in the last 12 months. The Quest is always a little different depending on the Cruise Director and their staff. They have to switch it up a little bit to keep it fresh and to keep the participants on edge to what will happen next.

Hi!

 

Did my 10th Quest (or so) this past September on the Jewel with Dennis Charles as CD. We had a couple cruising with us on their very first cruise, so their very first Quest as well. I wouldn't tell them all the details, so as not to give it away or spoil it for them, but I did tell them it was not for the shy or bashful.

 

I was wrong! Either it was the destination (Alaska) or the CD (Dennis) but it was quite G-rated, calm and very short. Still funny and worth going (we won!) but not ANYTHING like I was used to or expecting (Richard Spacey, Allan Brooks, Leigh Xuereb & Erky!) etc.

 

I'm set for the Harmony in January - wondering how that one might compare?!?

I've seen all levels of Quest--seems to vary not only by cruise director but also by who they have for passengers that week.

 

(so, for example, Bill something or other who felt like he was straight out of 1964 was always very G rated----but we had back to backs with Mercedes (or maybe it was Simona?) as CD once and she geared it VERY differently for the sailing which was mostly Italian guests (quite risque) than for the following week which was mostly German guests, and mostly older guests.

We saw it on Adventure a few weeks ago. It could have been called "The Bra Show".....:rolleyes:

If the most you are seeing is the bra--it is not one of the more risque versions ;)

On Majesty about three years ago (a 4 night cruise) Quest was the most risquee I've ever seen! Yes, I participated;) My BFF and I never laughed so hard.

[TheMastodon]

Most recent cruise (Adventure , 2015) was the most insane, wild Quest I've ever participated in. I'd say it varies based on CD, ship, destination.

We were on Leigh's last cruise on IOS and I am guessing the Quest had something to do with his dismissal.i enjoyed it but it was edgy so I can see why the next CD would tone it down.

[OfTheSeasCruiser]

My recent Allure sailing was the first time I attended the Quest, so I don't have anything to base it on.

 

However, it did not seem to be toned done at all.

[ryano]

Ever since going to one of Graham Seymours Quests, all others just seem lame lol. Its definitely depends on the CD I think.

[wolfcathorse]

Went to Quest on Jewel March 2016 (our team took third, which was a bunch of crock, our number was called first most of the time) and it was the lamest tamest Quest I've been to. No bras, no pants, no sex on the floor. The CD was Dennis Charles.

[LMaxwell]

Not only have they become PG-13 they never ever seem to change.

 

Hail to the CD who thinks up something original...

Agreed. I always found them much more entertaining on the smaller ships, but that might just be me [emoji848]

Sounds like you may have just nailed it. Thanks!

The first Quest I saw was on Oasis, CD was Ricky Matthews. It was MADNESS but we were DYING...lost our voices from all the screaming and laughing! Back then, it was called the "Adult Quest" and I noticed it's now just called the "Quest" so I wondered if they toned it down...guess it all depends on the CD.

 

Hope to see it on our upcoming Allure cruise!! It's definitely a good time, even if it does get toned down!

[Candleonwater]

Now I'm really curious about what happened at that Quest that could have ushered Leigh out?

 

On our last sailing (New Years) on the Indy, it was one of the best Quest's we've attended. Had a great chat with Leigh about it afterwards. LOL, he scolded DD for exposing a bit TOO much at one point.

 

It SO depends on the CD. We are sailing on the Grandeur in a couple of weeks (with John Blair), and based on personal experience, it will be one of the boring Quests. I've also noticed, if there are a lot of children in the audience, they tend to tone it WAY down.
