Lines Cancel Calls at Falmouth Jamaica
Not Ready for Prime Time

Tide Is Turning in Alaska - Carnival Corp's Princess Adds Capacity
Princess Cruises had a bit of good news for the folks in Alaska today. They are increasing their Alaskan fleet by one ship in 2012.
The news gets even better for the state because it will be one of their larger ships placed on the one way itinerary between Vancouver and Whittier.
