Harry, I thought I recognized you in the luggage discussion, it is nice
to see you back. Most of us have moved to a Yahoo group. You are
welcome to join us, but we do chat a lot.

The Grandeur was a small ship, but definitely one of my favorites. The
Solarium was lovely, with all the live plants, I also liked the clubs
and the showroom lounge. What a friendly crew, too. It is so sad that
the Grandeur left New Orleans. I enjoyed exploring the French Quarter,
having a muffaletta and listening to Blues and Zydeco music. In the
morning, you can have coffee and beignets, hop on the ship, then cruise
for a week. In May, we cruised on the Fantasy, which was fun, but I
still miss the Grandeur.
Carnival is moving the Triumph to New Orleans in November 2009, which
will be nice, but our only other option is the Norwegian Spirit. We
need a Royal Caribbean ship in New Orleans again.
