Today, Pat & I had to cancel our Sept 23 Navigator cruise from NYC to Montreal because one of our sweet pooches must have eye surgery and wouldn't be well in time for us to leave her in the care of a housesitter in 3 weeks.

However, our wonderful Ngaire managed to switch us to GONDOLA (since Regent wanted our cabin on Navigator for the oversold NYC cruise).

We are still a bit stunned, as this has all occurred over the last few hours; but we are excited about the Venice to Rome itinerary and enormously looking forward to cruising again with such delightful people.
