Marc...I am in the same boat (so to speak). The new itineraries don't fit our schedule very well nor do the go to places we are looking at. Of course having only 3 ships puts a real crimp on how Radisson can cover the world and thus has caused me to look at some other alternative lines for solutions. Not that these lines have any more ships than Radisson, but they go where we are interested at the time we are interested. Pricing has also taken a turn for the worse and with the 2005/2006 increases we are further limited.

One thing I disagree with is the notion this somehow "vindicates" Aaannnthony. As I recall his comments were made when Radisson still had its original allotment of ships. He simply did not care for where they went. His comments may have eventually proven to come true, but even a broken clock is right two times a day. I take his comments as more whining than prognostication.
