Early this morning, before they disappeared, I was able to peruse Voyager, Mariner, and Navigator schedules for 2006. Very disappointing. Made me think that Radisson has been backed so far into a corner by having only three ships, that they have limited originality on cruises.

The highlights, or should I say lowlights.

Voyager same as usual. One differnce, at least one I noticed, is that the Canal trip is now over both Christmas and New Years.

Mariner has a spring trip SFO to FP instead of a fall trip. Also, as Ngaire reported, Alaska season is a little longer. The fall Pacific trip is not in schedule. After that, one Mexican Riviera cruise over Christmas and the Canal to FLL over New Years.

Navigator is spending most of spring in San Juan replicating Diamond 4 and 5 day itineraries. She then goes to the Med then to Baltics. Two ships in Baltics for July and August. Didn't notice any Norwegian or British Isles trips (didn't go into each itinerary and check ports so I may be wrong here). No New York sailings. She then returns to FLL, sailing 7 day trips with a 10 day trip over Christmas and 11 day trip over New Years.

NO CIRCLE Caribbean for Christmas and New Years like they have had every year recently. I am extremenly bummed. I am very disappointed. I want to email Mark Conroy. I don't know what to sail.

With only Europe and Alaska for summer and just standard Caribbean itineraries with the same Canal trip in the winter and spring, Radisson loses some luster, at least in my opinion.

Can you tell I am upset? :(
