FKGirl Posted October 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Leaving today for the 10 day Sojourn Caribbean trip (and still a little bummed that it is 2 days shorter than the Quest cruise last year.) Will try to post here, too, but if you are on Twitter or Facebook, I'll be posting some photos throughout the trip ( user name: FloridaKeysGirl) and will have full blog posts (http://www.floridakeysgirl.com) upon my return.

Ravenscroft Posted October 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I read your Quest blog from a year ago, as it was just before my first Seabourn cruise which was on Quest not long after yours. Look forward to reading it again this year. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKGirl Posted October 28, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks! I was re-reading a bunch of it lately (in anticipation, and in an effort to not duplicate) and realized I missed a bunch of goodies. But, that is what you get when you go on a cruise in the middle of selling a house, packing, moving and buying a new house! This year, I am much more relaxed...

Patti22 Posted October 29, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 29, 2013 FKGirl, You are sailing with our good friends Bill and Martha from Houston. Heard from them yesterday aboard the ship. We are very jealous. Would love to be with all of you. Please post when you can. Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKGirl Posted October 29, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Will look for Bill and Martha. meanwhile, everything has been wonderful. Already got to know the sommelier in the restaurant a bit, cruise director Heidi and assistant Sophie both seem lovely, and am happy to report after one dinner and one lunch in the restaurant, all is terrific. Food (with the exception of an unfortunate swordfish, which was quickly corrected) and service have been wonderful. We have not yet seen any crew members that we recognize from previous sailings. But hotel director Karl Eckl is joining the ship at the end of this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hotel director Karl Eckl is joining the ship at the end of this week. Excellent news that Karl will be joining the Sojourn this week. I have known him since he was a waiter in the Restaurant. Can you ask him if he will be staying on for Christmas and New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the Hotel Manager on a trip we took on the Legend a couple of years ago and was incredible! Cliff and Eleanor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shefinch Posted November 1, 2013 #17 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Shouldn't think so John. We only get back on March 15th and then we're straight into a new house after 36 years in the old one! Our Spirit cruise was our farewell to the small ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEESRE Posted November 9, 2013 #24 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Welcome home FKgirl look forward to reading your Blog. Hope you mention things like the CD onboard and how many Smart Casual nights you had on the 10 day cruise. We board on the 27th November for same number of nights and would like a heads up on number of nights with jacket for gentlemen so that I can pack accordingly. Thanks.

FKGirl Posted November 9, 2013 Author #25 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I will double check in the herald the number of nights you need a jacket. I know it was less than we thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
