Should we cruise on the Quest in September?

[emilee]

We are thinking of cruising on the Quest next September. However, we are a little hesitant as it will only be in service for 3 months at the time that we cruise and we are concerned that they may not have gotten all of the "bugs" worked out. Can anyone comment on their experiences cruising on the Sojourn or Odyssey when they were first released? We just got off the Legend, which we loved, so I hope we will be able to adjust to what will now seem like a bigger ship. After 13 cruises on other lines - we are hooked on Seabourn!

If you want to be assured of the best service book the maiden (the real one, not the pre-maiden voyages.) SB seems to make a special effort to bring aboard all their best crew for the maiden, then redistribute them to other ships afterwards. Still, by three months the bugs should all be worked out, especially as this is the third ship so they will have had lots of experience.

Actually, the Quest is ahead of schedule and so Seabourn has announced a couple of prelaucnh short cruises --so plenty of time to resolve all but any major issues( and since this is the third in a series they likely fixed those sorts of problems when they launched Sojourn).
