I am sorry to report that Cruise West has now officially gone out of business. I am happy to report that we did not succumb to the high pressure sales pitch onboard to pay in full for an Intracoastal Waterways Cruise of the southeast USA in May. I am also very happy to report, that there were no indications of Cruise West's financial problems in our onboard experience. If we had not known about it before boarding nothing in our onboard or shore tours experience would have given it anyway. Based on our conversations with the many Quyana members (Cruise West past passengers) onboard, it was clear that the majority of them had no clue that Cruise West was in difficulty. It is always sad to see a cruise line go out of business, especially when you just finished cruising with them. This just reinforces that Clay and I are the vacation kiss of death! Next up Universal Studios Orlando, I hope they can weather us!
Just joking, I hope. I am sure we can't single-handly bring down Universal Orlando, but not so sure about the next cruise we were contemplating... so I won't mention it here, or aloud, lest it destroys them. On another note, I apologize that it is taking me so long to get photos up. Rest assured that I am going to work at it slowly until it is done eventually though. I won't quit until every post has photos!
