Pat and I are also planning to broaden our horizons on Seabourn, but not until 2011. A shame to have to start over building up perks, IF they even have them for repeat cruisers on Seabourn, but the cost/benefit analysis at Regent keeps getting worse from our (perhaps unique) perspective. Things we've liked on RSSC are being de-emphasised in favor of things we don't care much about, although I must say the values are there at this point. We've been on Cunard and Holland American, which counts for something with Seabourn, just not sure what. We do hope to see Barry Hopkins again, although he may have moved on to the even newer Seabourn Sojourn by the time we get to try Odyssey in Winter 2011.
Have fun and let us know how you found the Odyssey!
