* Unexpected Result
One wouldn’t expect the inaugural cruise of a new ship to be controversial or a hotbed of dissent, but Regal Princess’ was.
Shortly after it sailed, several readers wrote to tell us that on Regal Princess’ inaugural cruise, Princess was testing a couple of new charges. Customers never really like new fees, but most of the time they accept them. Over a few weeks, the cruise line might test several different levels, but in the end, one usually gets added without too much commotion.
In this article we look at what Princess was testing and what they learned unexpectedly.

* An Idea Whose Time Has ComeA few years ago when AIDA had a ship debut with a functioning micro-brewery aboard, we hailed it as an idea whose time had come. Now Crystal Cruises is innovating along the same line.
Crystal has long been famous for their “Wine & Food” cruises, and now they are extending that appreciation of fine libations to those who appreciate a great lager or a full-bodied stout.
Come November 5, Crystal Cruises will operate their first “Beer & Food” microbrew-themed luxury cruise.
* A Dangerous Place
The US State Department just issued their annual report on crime and safety in the Bahamas, and they agree with us. Nassau and Freeport are dangerous places to visit.
* There Will Be a Slight DelayThe Miami Herald reports that the opening of Miami’s new tunnel to the port, which was dedicated last week, will be delayed until mid-June while additional inspections and safety checks are performed.
