Acknowledgments
The seemingly simple task of compiling the facts about cruise lines,
their ships, and destinations for presentation to the reader has
become more and more difficult because of the sheer volume of
choices. Any travel writer who wants to do the best for his readers
must seek out the assistance of others to help amass this informa-
tion. Ship facts and information on which ships have been assigned
to cruising Mediterranean routes were provided by the media rela-
tions staff of the cruise lines. It is important to note, however, that
their role in providing information and/or services to me in no way
affects what I have to say about a particular cruise line or ship. Hav-
ing said that I am still especially grateful to and would like to
acknowledge the special help and consideration that has been pro-
vided to me by Karen Tetherow and Susanne Ferrull of Princess
Cruises; Michelle McCarthy of Holland America; Jaye Hilton of Royal
Caribbean; Elizabeth Jakeway of Celebrity Cruises; Heather Krasnow
of Norwegian Cruise Line; Irene Lui of Carnival Cruises, Cheryl Fenske
of DMOA Public Relations for MSC Cruises; and Darren Osta of Costa
Cruises. All opinions expressed here are based on information gath-
ered from a variety of objective sources and, most importantly, by
firsthand experience.
