Although we adore Voyager, after our Baltics cruise and Norwegian fjords cruise, and are booked on the Paul Gauguin for PIP in May of this year and the Mariner for MUSH in August, 2006, we are going to try out Silversea Whisper in November. It is the Western Caribbean Classics cruise, beginning on Nov. 21: 10 days - Ft. Lauderdale, Cozumel, Belize City, Santo Tomas (Guatemala), Roatan Island (Honduras), Ocho Rias (Jamaica), and George Town (Grand Cayman), plus three (count 'em, three!!) wonderful days at sea. We found this the most interesting itinerary for a cruise over Thanksgiving and much more intriguing than the Voyager itinerary for the same period. Thanks, Olivia, for encouraging us to look at the SS itineraries. The ship looks (in the brochures and on the website) like a smaller version of the Mariner and Voyager. Why don't these two fabulous lines just merge and thereby offer us a greater choice of itineraries?

Any of the LCT'ers interested in joining us on this cruise? Anyone already booked? Please let us know.

Cheers, Fred
