Can anyone give input in the following areas:
1 Is Sunbird still in good condition. She was good two years ago.
2 What is a transatlatic like during the six days at sea while in transit.
3 Any other input you think might be of help.
I will be interested to see how the price compares with US and UK passengers. The lowest that we are looking at is; Standard outside cabin early booking and TA 5% discount $1999.00 CF Port taxes 147.00 -------- Total 2146.00
This is in Canadian dollars including gratuities and all air fares, transfers and applicable taxes.
Thanks Don

The price sure looks right - go and have a wonderful trip
Will look forward to seeing some comparison information.
Happy Cruisin'
I.
Just converting to USD, the price looks great. That is not to say, some US t/a wouldn't beat the price... but I'd bet air would be higher.
PS, about a month ago, I visited a deserted airfield near Niagara Falls. I posted about this on Air Talk. Is anybody in Ontario or Northen New York familiar with any of these deserted airfields?

I guess the question is, would it be cheaper if I visit a TA instead of booking thru Sunquest?
I'm not sure whether this will be the appropriate place to post the reply, but can you tell me the name of your travel agent. If not will it be possible if you can email me the info? I can certainly look up their address in the phone book to find out where their office is in Ottawa. Thanks.
