No I hadn't until I saw your link thanks Sue, as I think it's great news if the ship's going to be permanently berthed down in Cape Town ohsohappy

I think South Africa will be a better place for her than Dubai! munchessm

It seemed strange that she's been untouched since arriving in Dubai despite wonderful plans for her surprisesmi So I'm not surprised to hear she may be moved. happysm

I believe they lost financial backing for their plans of turning her in to a hotel

Tricia, I think the recomended tips worked out more than the cruise itself which is what put me off confusedsmi That and the fact that I wouldnt have had enough posh frocks for a whole week laughingsomuch

It must have changed then because the tips were far less than on any American ship we have been on.

I`m sure you have enough posh frocks...to go with all the shoes !!laughingsomuch
