Happy New Year to All!

Well, 2008 is coming to an end. What a year it has been! We have had many changes, challenges and unexpected things happen. However, there were some good things worth mentioning...

• The Ruby Princess and Celebrity Solstice both entered service. I had the opportunity to attend Inaugural sailings for both of these fine vessels. They are definitely beautiful ships worth sailing on .
• The removal of Fuel Surcharges by most Cruise Lines. Thank you!
• Lowered cruise pricing which has allowed new cruisers to experience the great life of cruising!
• The preview of the World's Largest Ship...The Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas. For more information on this ship, check out www.CruiseTheOasis.com
• The announcement of year round cruising from the Port of Baltimore on the Carnival Pride.
• The announcement of the Celebrity Mercury coming to the Port of Baltimore in late 2009.
• The Carnival Dream and it's new category of staterooms accomodating up to 5 people.
• And so much more.

I wish everyone a Happy, Healty and Safe New Year. I'll see you in 2009!
