Interesting how they give a figure for cancellations, but no indication as
to whether bookings are down overall. If they are sailing essentially full
most of the time the cancellations really have little impact. Ray any idea
as to whether this is the case? I must say the smoking never really bothered
me other than the casino, but I never went there anyway. I guess the real
driving force is liability, and probably insurance concerns.
