Ronnie:

We are hoping to get great group rates from Ngaire. Although, I usually don't book with her, I think her group will be better than my TA. I would contact her when she returns from China. Hopefully rates for 2005 will be known by then. I am just going by the 2004 back to back rates (both during free air period and the dec sailings) to get an idea. From my perspective, the rate for the second week (since we will probably book Cat F or E) is cheaper than pre or post cruise.
