ROYAL CARIBBEAN'S first regularly scheduled departure from New Orleans shoved
off Feb 23. The Rhapsody of the Seas will sail from the Crescent City on six
seven-night western Caribbean itineraries, calling in Cozumel and Costa Maya,
Mexico; and Georgetown, Cayman Islands. Not one to pass up a good thing, Royal
Caribbean said bookings for the Rhapsody strong enough that the line will send
the Grandeur of the Seas to New Orleans in the fall. The Grandeur will sail a
western Caribbean route between Oct. 5 and May 3.
