Don,
Thanks to Ngaire and Julie, we just booked the Whisper on 5-29-06!

We booked into a triple cabin- it was cheaper then doing it that way then to do a single supplement. Don't know if my sister is going or not. If we can find another person for her to room with- we can go with the two cabins.

Julie was working with us this afternoon- we booked into the 6th floor port side first balcony room on that floor. The other pick was deck 8- we think the bridge is above that.
Which one would you have picked.
We went for the 6th floor.

We are going to fly over a couple of days early to Nice and explore that area and then stay one night in Rome. We were on the Diamond 2 years ago- and just loved it over there- you will love Portifino! If you want me to send you some photos from shutterfly.com, let me know.

Don, I am still working and have to plan around those 3 day holiday weekends thus, the end of May for us. We did Spain back in 2001 similar to the one that you have on the books- and love Portual. I think your trip sounds great- we missed out on the Med this summer (went to Alaska because of health reasons in the family) and it was my parents 50th anniversary. Thus, really want to spend the time in the Med area- Nice to Rome.

Thanks for all your help.

Don, what would say the differences are between Silverseas and Radisson, I know about the cocktails. Anything else that pops into your head.
