To Whom It May Concern:
We came across this information in the trades and thought it would be of
interest to this newsgroup as well.
Happy sailing,

Is the Norwalk virus as prevalent in the Carribbean as it seems to be
in Alaska?  We contracted it on our last cruise to Alaska and I'm now
gun shy to cruise again. Everybody at our dinner table got it so I am
thinking the food and or drink was the culprit. Thank you for any

November 28th:  three days in San Juan, and then

The Haircut      by Tom

Well, with luck we'll be out of the house by noon and in Houston by 4
(traffic permitting, 10 sucks bad).  Then Sunday it's down to
Galveston.  Carol really deserves this trip.

I had asked the group once before if it was possib le to get a cab at the
pier and have them take you to 7-mile Island.  I received several responses
in favor of that.  Now I am wondering where to tell the taxi to take us (7
of us) and what would the Taxi charge.  I have heard ...

I know there's no gambling on the NCL America ships.  There are other
lines like HAL and Princess offering 14/15 day cruises, round trip from
Los Angeles or San Francisco.  Are the ships' casinos closed the entire
time they're among the islands--even when they're at sea?

Does anyone have current status of the pier conditions/repairs in Cozumel.

Two questions regarding Alaskan cruises.
Is there a good/ bad time to go?
If one leaves from either Seattle or Vancouver and returns to the same
port (on a 7 day cruise) one only makes it halfway to Anchorage. How
