You are both 100% correct. All anyone had to do was go to the forum top menu and choose cruise schedule and they could see the past 3 years history. This time of year, you average about 1 ship a day. One thing I have noticed is a fair amount of fear mongering going on. I truly feel sorry for WALT and his wife and I really appreciate him sharing with the forum. But, some others seem to throw out quite a bit of anecdotal comments that have limited to no accurate facts. I do think that incorrect information needs to be called out and corrected to prevent these scare tactics.
I agree with bdeely. Things unfortunately happen to good people that are careful. I'm sure it happens on every island in every port and even in Europe.
I feel awful that it happened to members of the board but it's a chance we all take going to a foreign country.
