I too like longer cruises. Okay, let me restate in plain english what I was hinting at above.
This is meant to be a floating FT party. Not your typical relax-a-cruise.
It will be good to introduce some newbies to cruising, while letting others who have cruised before enjoy yet another ship (no, it won't be a new one - they don't tend to do 3-days). But most of all, it'll be a party. A 72+ hour party on a giant floating FunShip.
No question this won't be for everyone, but hey, I can't make everyone happy no matter what I do. If I made this a 7 day cruise on a new ship, many people (myself included) couldn't go because of cost or time. So we'll start with this, and hopefully we'll still have interest later in the year or into 2003 for a longer one.
We'll put a web page up in the next few weeks with more details to come...
