Some speculation going as to why they haven't announced any new future cruises. By now, they usually have their summer cruise for the following year and their spring cruise 2 years out announced and taking bookings.
winding down the business ???

17 was a sellout. Might just be dragging negotiations. What I was told is that th cruise lines really come to them wanting the charter vice the other way around.

I don't have any idea, but it is a good deal for the cruise line, to have a guaranteed sell out.. Could be that they are dragging out negotiations, as you say.

Actually, I would be really surprised if they went away from winter cruises. A large portion of their clients live where they can't normally get any sun during winter. Hard to ignore that..

I heard an interview with the BN owner and she made a good point. The cruise lines come to them because not only can they virtually guarantee a sell out, but more important to the ship's bottom line; every passenger is of drinking and gambling age. Something that doesn't occur on other cruises.
