After the upcoming Dec cruise on Spirit in a Grand suite it's going to be a real change for me to step down to a verandah suite on Silver Wind(295 sqft) and a verandah suite on Spirit(376 sqft) for the 2011 cruises, but that's the only way we can do both cruises financially. I'll really miss the front wrap around balcony of the Grand suite, because I spend a lot of time out there. Lynn doesn't really care and is very satisfied with a verandah suite. At least it'll give me a chance to evaluate the verandah suites and any differences in service, which I don't expect. We have definitely found a new home with SS and wouldn't even consider going back to Regent with the current management; even if they changed their smoking policy back to what it was.
