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,

I will be in San Juan for a conferece mid/late Feb 08. I'm looking to
precede my stay with a cruise.
I have identified 4 possible ships all cruising the southern
caribbean.

A couple of years ago, I noticed an unusual itinerary (Valparaiso CL to San
Diego) that I thought I would like, but we noticed it too late to get be
able to arrange our affairs to be able to take it.  Last year, we noticed a
similar itinerary (Valparaiso to Los Angeles) on a ...

We are looking at a balcony "on the hump" on Adventure of the
Seas on the 8th deck that is near the elevators. Any problems with that
on that deck?

I have been on several summer cruises, have found great deals a month
or two before.  However, about 15 family members are hoping to cruise
the week after Christmas, leaving either Dec 29 or 30 - 7 days -
Carribean.  Right now, the prices are double for that week as compared

Has anyone had any dealings with this outfit?      We have a great offer
for a 16 nite south america cruise (santiago-acapulco)inc.air from
philly for 1699.00. Are they to be trusted?             Any advice
welcome,usually use princess to book ,but they do not do it at this

I forgot to mention, pricing at The Clevelander and a Ocean Five are VERY
reasonable.  I'm paying $125 a night (before tax) in October.  I booked it
on their internet special.  Pricing at The Clevelander this past November
was a little less, but that'll probably change after ...

OK, I just couldn't stand it, I had to try.  I plugged in 3 stars for FLL
Beach location for $95 a night (we're staying two nights pre-cruise) and
that was rejected.  So yesterday I upped it to $120 a night for 3 stars and
they accepted the bid and gave us Sheraton Yankee Trader. ...

I received this press release from Celebrity and thought it would be
of interest.  If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are
available on my web site.  
Best regards,

I am travelling to the above destinations with RCCL next month, and was
wondering if any immunisations are recommended for these areas?

We just booked cabins for a Xmas cruise on board the HAL Noordam and
were attributed two cabins on the Main deck just below the Queen's
lounge. Although you never know about the cabins you finally end up
with (upgrade ?)  I am a bit concerned about the noise from that

I know this has been covered in the past, but I haven't
been able to find any recent posts...
We are considering a late Fall cruise out of San Diego
for the Mex Riveria.  Any suggestions on a decent,
