The sails are on, the new engine is purring like a tiger, the crew is raring to go, the inspections and certifications are done for another year.
What ain't we got? (with apologies to South Pacific); we ain't got names. That is, while we are in a good and perfectly satisfactory place on bookings, your names may not be among those signed up for a cruise, be it in the warmth of summer or the crispness of fall. Don't miss this season!
