Thanks Ngaire for all your unbiassed comments.

The girl at Wiltrans Australia said she thought Crystal was superior to Radisson, but luckily I found this site and thanks to everyone's input, am now sure I have made the right decision. I'll bore everyone's socks off after my cruise.

Ngaire - Although I realised I repeated myself several times and left out half of what I meant to say, the third attempt to post my comments on our meeting all those years ago worked thanks - don't know if you've had a chance to read them. Don't let me waste any more of your precious cruising time! Lee
