It is "off peek"......we were on tha sailing and moved to the Thanksgiving week sailing due to DDs being in new schools.....Freshman and Jr high.........Call about 4 or 5 weeks out and ask if you can get one......Our first sailing, Feb. 2000 I had a cat 11 booked and our DDs saw Titanic and asked where we were on the ship....it was in the lower section where they locked the people down in......I explained it to the CM and recieved an upgrade to a cat 6 verandah for 50.00 per person......the down side is on our next 3 sailings we HAD TO BOOK the verandah......good lick and happy sailing....
