Karen, thanks. This is first trip to NYC and first cruise for my mother in law. We hope she enjoys the trip and has no problem on the crossing.

This is only our fifth Radisson cruise (and only eighth overall). There are many here with far more experience and far more knowledge than we. We still want to find a time where we can cruise with you and Mark. After going to Europe for three straight years, we have decided to avoid Europe next year just as everyone seems to be heading that way.

We are still looking at the three day Mariner cruise 17 Dec. Maybe we can still get an East Coast trip going.

thanks,
