It's one of the 'contenders'. I think they did not have the port for Berlin on their 2009 itinerary, which Monica would like to see (but not mandatory), so it will be considered.
So, do you like RCL better than NCL, Celebrity or HAL? I took a look at the NCL and Celebrity ships that are going next year, still have to check out RCL and HAL (HAL is the bottom of the list as it will probably noe start and end at the same port...a strong negative in my book).
We would not hesitate to book Royal Caribbean or Celebrity. HAL would probably be our last choice. I don't know enough yet about NCL.
I'll have more information about HAL next month. They are having a 3-day sale (ends Nov. 14), and we just booked a 10-night Mexican Riviera/Sea of Cortez cruise on the Ryndam (1,250 passengers) out of San Diego. An outside cabin is $599 p/p + tax, port charges, and fuel surcharge. This seems like a good price, especially compared to Disney.
