Yeah Bob, I know. I was aboard the QE2 through a nice hurricane several years ago. Experienced 45 degree roll and waves high enough to make you say words that aren't in the dictionary. Not many people in the dining room for several days on that trip.
Looking at the brochure now and see cruises Jan 2001 thru April. One on the Melody is $999 for 17 nights sails from Ft Lauderdale does a few islands crosses the big water visits Spain and ends in Genoa. Another 11 nights Fl. to Fl with partial Panama Canal Transit 11 nights $699. Its cheaper than Motel 6

Agent I've used for 25 years is White Travel Service West Hartford Ct. I don't see a website address but E-mail is cruises123@aol.com.
