Well, almost.  email earlier today said that in 2008, all European
river cruises will prohibit smoking in any interior spaces and smoking

Yet another reason to go with Deilmann.

We're sailing to the Panama Canal on the Coral Princess next week and
have chosen "Anytime Dining."  Does this mean that we won't have to
