It is a floating hotel of moderate size with lots of amenities, including good food shows and service. We were there with 1800 other people. It was our transportation, and we visited four ports. never unpacked. I'm 66 years old, celebrating recovering from cancer this past year and saddled with several other disabilities, so I am happy to have a nice cabin with hot running water, elevators, and food and drink on demand. You see, I once owned and single handed sailboats, and I know all about that life. It's just that the airfare to do that, and to charter a boat in the high season in the Yucatan would have been about ten times what we spent; In my shape, I would need crew, not to mention the time investment since we are both employed now. Kathy and I have also spent the last two years dealing with a family member whose light is going out, much like the people Steve shows. Since it was our 30th anniversary, we decided to do something special for ourselves. We did. We enjoyed it. Maybe more information than you asked for. -- Regards, Sonny http://sonc.com/look/ Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
