Hi There,

I took a cruise on the Sunward II several years ago and really enjoyed it.
It was my first cruise and the ship was with NCL.  Is the Triton with NCL?

Sunward II is a smallish ship, I think they carry around 850 passengers.  It
sailed fairly smoothly and the accomodations were nice (albeit old).  We
sailed to the Bahamas and NCL's private island for a 4 night cruise.  I
didn't care for Nassau, but Freeport was nice.  I spent most of my time
on the ship.

    What Cruise line is it ????
    
    If you do not know anything about it then why choose this one ??
    
    If I remember I will see if I have any information at home in some
    of my old Cruise News letters.

469.3Triton is EPIROTIKI (sp?) TRCOA::MAJNARICHMon Sep 13 1993 18:544
    re: .1 and .2 this ship was sold from NCL to EPIROTIKI (sp?) a greek
    cruise line operator. The price seems to be right under $1000 CAD or
    about $750 US for return flight from Toronto to San Juan and one week
    cruise.

    Re. .4
    Have you booked? We have booked and are leaving on Jan.22, we end up in
    Barbados on the 29th. Maybe our paths will cross there? If you havent
    booked yet you may want to check out TL Travel in Toronto they gave us
    12% off the list price and we also go the $50 early booking bonus.

    No,haven't booked yet,cannot decide between,2 week cruise,or 1 week
    cruise + 1 week "beach bumming". My "best man" also happened to book
    on the RCCL Monarch Of The Seas around that time,so I wouldn't mind
    going on that one.But it is more expensive(but apparently worth it).
    
    I'm thinking of waiting till the "last minute" to see what I can
    do with that. I know that as far as cruises are concerned,it's not
    a good idea to wait. But I'm not that "picky" on where I end up.
    Worst case;if I cannot book the cruise I want,I'll go 2 weeks on an
    Island(Aruba!!) and then cruise to Alaska this summer!!!
    
    Any info on last minute...I'm in Ottawa.
