what unique timing. We have been working on a story on crusing and their tie-ins with frequent flyer programs, both earning and burning miles. I was even thinking of taking a crusie to see what it's all about since my only experience is The Big Red Boat to the Bahamas.....hey, they called it cruising...

Anyway, let me think how this might work, but your points are well taken and give me a much needed place to start....
