SuffolkLady Posted October 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2017 This was our fourth Seabourn cruise, and we rated it as one of the best. The crew were amazing, the food was delicious in all venues, the entertainment was really good, the conversations were interesting, and the ports were good to walk around and explore. We breakfasted in our suite sometimes, more often the Collenade and the restaurant once. There is no need to visit the buffet if you choose not to, as the wait staff are very happy to serve you. Lunch was usually Patio Grill or Collenade. Always plenty of room, sitting outside which we mostly chose, wonderful views, great service, and interesting fellow passengers if you felt like chatting. We dined mainly in the restaurant, again found the choices of food and wine very good, and of course there was the always available menu. For the wines, our sommelier was always a happy to bring us our preferred choices of wines. We also dined in the Thomas Keller Grill, excellent menu, and very good service. The entertainment was excellent, the Tim Rice show was superb. Our overwhelming impression was that the Quest was a very happy ship, the officers and crew worked together as a very professional and happy team. We can recommend Seabourn wholeheartedly, particularly the Quest, and look forward to sailing again in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markham Posted October 14, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2017 We are taking a similar cruise in a week and a half on Silversea Whisper, our first with that line, to see what's what. And so I will write a review when we are back and make some comparisons to the Odyssey class ships. The Whisper is a several years older and has about 62 fewer passengers. Happy and healthy sailing!

marama Posted October 14, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Friends of ours were also on this cruise. They enjoyed it as well and gave it a big 'thumbs up'. We will have to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie.1008 Posted October 14, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I have not cruised on SS for 9yrs. I will look forward to your comparisons. I feel food and service are much the same on all the luxury lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markham, Can you find out if the crew still store food in their cabins like they have done in the past. I’m looking forward to your report.

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted October 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Saw your ship in PEI -- crew had a cooler on the tender with a sign "PEI Mussels." Good to know they can still provision locally [and PEI mussels are the best!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markham Posted October 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Mr Luxury, I heard that the "Bathtub Veal" roast was to die for. But I will report back first hand knowledge. Happy and healthy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whystayhome Posted October 17, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Getting on the Quest Sunday in Montreal. Very excited - heard the galley lunch is back. Have done a similar itinerary on Crystal a few years ago and looking forward to comparing. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffolkLady Posted October 17, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Chef Jez is very proud of his Galley Lunch and it was a great experience for us. Another highlight was the final sail away outside on Deck 8 featuring classical music beautifully sang by the Seabourn singers, with champagne vodka and caviar from Chef Jez and his team. It was very moving and a great finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
