    Since the Wonder is now home-ported in LA, and there's no Castaway Cay, there are limited choices for extra stops on their Mexican cruises.

    Then, the Magic has to suspend stops in Tunisia for its upcoming schedule due to unrest there.

    Now, after planning much of its 2011 sales and marketing campaign around the company's first ABD tours of Egypt, folks there decide they are tired of the USA propped-up dicatator who has run the country for three decades ...

    If this guy offers you a can't miss horse at the track, I'd take my money and go home ... quickly.

    Is the name copyrighted?

    Would it have some kind of caché?

    Would people want to go on it now as some kind of post modern ironic thing for bragging right?

    It would be like naming your new dirigible 'The Hindenberg'

    Or, your new model car 'Edsel'

    why bother?

    Dream is wonderful from what I hear ... biggest legit complaints are overrated Aquaduck, old style buffet and they actually have taken a step back with the size and quality of their adults only pool.

    As to the bloggers, yes, many loved their free cruises, who wouldn't? But some folks are angling to get the Mouse to give them a second go around ... and it really feels dirty (kinda like stea.. I mean borrowing from a charity and using the money to feed your Disney fix, not that anyone would ever do such a thing, right?)
