Hey Chris, Thanks! I have friends on board from Newport Beach, California, who have been sending messages for the last three months on their round the world cruise... perfect weather, calm seas all the way and they were very lucky. They were to board in NYC on Day 1 but changed to LA which is close to where we all live ~ and missed the flu outbreak ~ BUT someone was in their cabin as booked, so they were bumped up to about the highest category ... for free! What a sweet deal! The Southampton welcome will have to be really stellar to beat Sydney and Hong Kong ! I know they go to Windsor for the day tomorrow and then on to NYC. Anyone contemplating this southern route won't be disappointed and as I said, weather has been fabulous! A trip of a lifetime.
