Took the night off and went to dinner with Ron and Linda. We never have time to talk, too busy in the office, and have not had dinner together since our cruise last year. We only live one block away and yet never seem to have the time.

This whole Diamond thing is up in the air I really dont think that anyone but the top brass knows what is going on and even they may not be sure - it is all about negotiation. Time will tell. I imagine they just would not continue to sell cruises they think may not take place.

I think we must all just hang tight and see what develops. I still think that the Europe season will finish out but that will be it and the Diamond will leave and not come to the Caribbean late in 2005. My guess is that if the cruise is off the web that is a good indication that it may not sail but you never know. Just hang in there everyone and we will see what develops.

There may be no answers yet. I am sure that RSSC wants a resolution as much as the passengers do.
