Hi PamM,do you have any idea why is going to Cuba to refurbishing,I don't get it,why Cuba?,because is cheaper ?,FG.
Great Lakes, add an 'm' at the end of the URL, it got missed off, sorry. I don't know anymore than what the other site says, but I do believe GL Cruises were a bit green in dealing with Golden Sun and taken for a ride. Sad outcome, as had she been up to scratch would probably have done well in the Lakes?Pam
