PS- anyone win in the name-the-ship contest? :D Quest was one of my choices! (didn't win though) Great name for the new ship! Host Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martita B. Posted January 7, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 7, 2010 A fellow named "Kevin Staub" won the 7 day Seabourn cruise ~~ I think they had to (again) draw from the fish bowl as there were many Quests guessed. Martita B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlyerTalker Posted January 7, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Will they have Tim Matheson on the inaugural cruise? (He was the original voice of Jonny Quest in the mid-60s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quepaquete Posted January 7, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 7, 2010 The Yachts of Seabourn commented on their status: "Hello - To answer your question, the contest winner is Kevin Staub of Newtown, PA, who submitted “Quest” along with 15 other suggestions on October 12. Staub wasn’t alone in admiring the name, and so his name was drawn at random from a pool of 120 contestants who submitted correct guesses. Staub and his guest will enjoy a complimentary seven-day cruise on Quest during the vessel’s maiden year of operation. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted January 8, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Why is it that cruise lines have to steal names from one another? Azamara just named a ship Quest two years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseyguy Posted January 8, 2010 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I agree with wripro-"Quest," "Spirit," "Mariner," etc. Do they use the same dozen or so names on purpose to confuse the customers? Really disappointing & lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord of the seas Posted January 8, 2010 #8 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Very disappointing choice. I thought it should be the Seabourn Supercalifragalisticexbeallidotious. Although the hull might have had to be lenthened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fPetrarca Posted January 9, 2010 #13 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Is it possible that the powers-that-be can be persuaded to re-consider the name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted January 9, 2010 #14 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'd rather they reconsider Sojourn. Quest may be a ripoff but at least it's not a tongue twister when coupled with Seabourn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Bob Posted January 9, 2010 #15 Share Posted January 9, 2010 To me the important name is SEABOURN. The rest really doesn"t matter. IMHO. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
