GrayWolf, I am on SilverShadow late this month, Voyager in June, and MINT, November 12 LA-LA. This last cruise is just to meet people on this board and have a great time. Never thought I would think out of the itinerary "box" but this is an opportunity to meet friends I have been communicating with on-line for a long, long time. As you have the World Cruise in your future, no reason for this, since it starts a couple of months later. How I would love to do Segment 2 Aukland to Sidney!
