GrayWolf:

I see you live part time in Florida. Try to arrange to tour the ship 27 April in Ft Lauderdale.

Also, although Ngaire would know this best, it might be worthwhile to sail a short cruise prior to the world cruise to get your Seven Sea Society membership to get additional discount. If you will be in Washington in May, why don't you sail LA to Vancouver on the Mariner...it is still a two for one sailing.
