Yes, sadly its true. Go to the website and you'll see the post. You may have to "refresh" the page to get the current message they posted earlier today.

<BR>Third party insurance companies will cover in case of bankrupcies. <BR> <BR>If upoi do not have insurance, call your charge card company immediately. <BR> <BR>The Federal Maritime Commission will not help in this case since their bond does not cover cruise lines that do not sail into U.S. ports. <BR> <BR>Paul

I never visit the cruise board, but just read about this.Please follow the link below for a news story. My heart goes out to all of the passengers on what I can only imagine were trips of a lifetime. <BR> <BR> <BR>http://news.excite.com/news/ap/01092...ssance-cruises <BR> <BR>

Well, now that it's a certainty, what do we do? We were booked on the X-mas Barbados-Barbados cruise. Has anyone sailed the Wind Surf? We want a 7 or 11 day cruise from approx 12/16 on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<BR>You will certainly notice the difference immediately between Ren. and Windstar. <BR> <BR>I sailed the Wind Surf about 10 years ago. You will be pampered and served by the best. Everyone will know your name. Elegant, laid back. Terrific choice. <BR> <BR>You will just love St. Barts. Bequia was just about a deserted island then. Now with the new owner you will see quite a difference. Anquilla was another backwards island and now it is a premium destimation. <BR> <BR>If you have the opportunity to sail the Wind Surf you will not be disappointed. <BR> <BR>Paul

H.Copelan- We did the WIndsurf in the Med this past May-01--it was fantastic! <BR>You will have your entire mind changed about cruising once you've taken this ship!!!!! If you have any specific questions,feel free to email me at the above email--very upscale and casual--no need for coat and tie,no cocktail dresses-open seating dining---WONDERFUL- and those 5 masted sails are so romantic to sail under!!

HCOPELAN, <BR> <BR>My husband and I sailed Windsurf (Barbados/Barbados) March '99. The ship was great, the ports terrific and dining way above par. <BR>Should you decide to sail Windsurf I think you'll have a wonderful vacation!
