... will be making it's 2nd voyage on December the 15 and my friend Rudy has the list in his pocket of everyone's want list along with . . . Dramimine (his FIRST cruz), Flue Shots, Lysol and an Extra Life Jacket (just in case!). . I told him to be sure and get a cabin with a window, so he could puke out of it at night! We gave him ALL the encouragement we could!

He told me that it had some difficulty clearing some power lines on the Mississippi river and may be forced to relocate in March to, I believe he said, Gulf Port. They had contacted Entergy (power company) about the lines and they responded with an estimated $5 mill service charge. Carnival declined. Not sure why the river runs higher after March, unless it's due to additional water from snow melt up north. Also, he thinks they have slot cards and will pick up all he can get for us. We'll see what he comes back with.
