The Mail Buoy Episode 71
After a year of shows we're shaking up the format a little bit, and we're back to one show again. We haven't decided if we're going to keep it this way for long, but let us know what you think. Should we stay at one show or just do two a week? The week didn't start out too well for Carnival Cruise Lines, with two passengers jumping over the side of their ships in different incidents. Both appear to have been deliberate - not accidental, however one was definitely alcohol related. On a plus side, Carnival will offer their first ever South America cruises in 2009 onboard the Carnival Splendor. It's only 3 itineraries but we could see the line expanding the program if it proves popular. Crystal announces their entire line up of 2008 theme cruises, and it's a pretty extensive one. Click here for all the details. Meanwhile, Silversea has released the details on the exclusive events and tours that will be part of their 2008 World Cruise. We have early word that Holland America Line is rolling out a new flexible dining option called As You Wish Dining, watch for the official announcement soon, and we also have information about Princess' 2008/09 Tahiti and Hawai'i itineraries. Repairs have FINALLY been completed on Empress of The North and she is re-entering service, while Celebrity's Millenium struggles with a damaged propeller. We've also got a great story about P&O Cruises and their planned celebration of the release of the latest Harry Potter book onboard Oriana and Aurora.
