Thanks for the link! I'd never heard of the Happy Cruise Ship line.

Stupid US politics keep US travelers from going to one of the most interesting islands in the Caribbean. I wonder if the increased pressure from cruisers will eventually get the US to change it's attitude?

Happy Cruises is a Spanish Company, and the details of its ships are below:

Discovery was recently in Tallinn with Jewel of the Seas and the link to the entry is below:

Ah it is quite small, not sure I would like such a small ship. Unless it was going to Troy maybe

I think Rau Castrol is moving slowly to make it more 'capitalist' eventually the US will use this as a reason/excuse to resume contacts. There is no serious threat since the USSR disolved.

Hope you sove that debt crisis soon !

The debt crisis is a media disaster, not so much a real one. Japan has a far larger debt crisis than we do but they just keep barreling along.

Of course, if we had not given back billions of dollars to the rich with the Bush tax cuts and if we did not have to fund two trillion dollar wars we would be a lot better off.

Could not agree with you more about Cuba not being a serious threat. But then most of the problems with Cuba have been a direct result of the political influence all the Cuba refugees have had in the US since the 60's and the pissing contests we have gotten into since then.

I voted no. I would not be comfortable on a cruise that spoke minimal English.
