The pre-bankruptcy Crystal Cruise Line is gone. Period. What made Crystal the favorite ultra premium cruise line of many (including me) was the outstanding food, service, and ambiance. A & K bought 2 outdated ships (with the smallest cabins in the market segment), a trade name, and a mailing list. It did not, and could not, buy the outstanding food, service, and ambiance. Whether the "new" Crystal Cruise Line will equal or exceed its predecessor is anyone's guess. However, if it doesn't live up to the expectation of the Crystal loyalists it will not be a success. With the operations of the "new" Crystal contracted to vShips and the folks who ran the hotel side of the "old" Crystal scattered to the four winds I am not sanguine that the "new" Crystal will equal its prior incarnation. That said, I will not give up cruising simply because the old Crystal no longer exists. I am excited about my upcoming first trip on Seabourn and will endeavor not to compare evert minute aspect of it to Crystal.

Good afternoon, Is there an iPhone dock that allows music to be played from an iPhone or does the TV have this ability in V2 suites on the Quest? Thank you.

Hello again, How many power outlets are in the V Suites on the Quest and what type are the outlets (US or European)? Thank you.

My bad. The ship is the Quest, not the Encore.

Good afternoon, First time Seabourn cruisers (Crystal refugees). Is there dancing on the Encore and if so when and where? Thank you.
