Just read a post by ChatKata regarding our May 16th cruise. She mentioned that there "is a group sailing by a local Ventura County Travel Agency and the local newpaper. It's an annual cruise and sells out because of the group - they even expanded to so it goes from Fort Lauderdale to the pick up in Port Hueneme for the second half of back to back and then up the Coast for the initial Alaska. Heavily promoted here."

Since this is an annual event, is anyone aware of how large this group is? It sounds as if travel agents and people from a local newspaper will be on board. . . could be an interesting group.

We aren't overly concerned and know that the Mariner can handle a full load just fine. Just curious. . . .
