Actually I have people quite a few people requesting a Australia/NZ cruise and also quite a few requesting the Voyager Fall Grand Crossing. Both of these are bound to be on the 2010 schedule. They are always at the exact same time. Cant do both.

I am hoping for a NZ/Australia cruise in the 2010 March/April time of the year on an itinerary similiar to the Ring of Fire. The 2009 Ring of Fire bypasses N.Z. completely and the only good itinerary is on the Mariner on the Grand Asia Pacific cruise in November.

Silversea does a N.Z./Australia trip in the Feb/March time frame so that may be what I do instead.

When the time comes I will do a poll to see how many want the Crossing and how many want N.Z./Australia - LCT majority rules. Such a shame they are at the same time.

Carolyn the RIVER cruise in September will be a reality. I have a LONG waiting list for that and will decide which line after my trip in August to visit all the leading ships on my radar.

Oberoi has moved into the Nile River and the Triton is also a fantastic ship. Might be up for that again at some time in the future. I enjoyed Camel so much I might like to do that region again as well with more time in Jordan and visiting Abu Dabi.
