When we booked our Windstar cruise, they were offering the bev package for free. Now that they are offering three different packages for purchase, does anyone know which one we will get?

I am going on a cruise that will go to Panama next February so I am haunting these boards getting info. Imagine my surprise today when I saw the black and white photos on your post and my sister is in one of the photos. She died several years ago so we are trying to pin down when this photo would have been made. She is in the second photo. I sent this link to her daughters in South Carolina and they agree that it is their Mom. If you could give me any information about when and where that photo was made, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you for all of your information about Panama too!!

Just for info purposes, 15 months ago there were 8 of us planning on doing this cruise this month, 10/2012. Six of us booked - 4 booked June 2011 and the other two booked Nov. 2011. The other two had some issues that needed to be resolved before they booked, settled those things and called to book May 2012. The boat was SOLD OUT! They have watched it since then and nothing has ever opened up for them. So six of us are leaving next week and the other two are staying at home! Do I need to tell you that they won't let that happen again? I have watched the discussions about price, etc. The bottom line is - will there be availability on the boat? By the way, we got all of the early booking discounts and the price has never again been as good as we got last year. So, I hope some of you are on the FULL boat with us in a couple of weeks. We are so excited.

There is another reason to book ahead - the boat sells out! When we were on River Beatrice two years ago, it was totally full and this year we are booked on the S.S. Antoinette in October and it is sold out. There are 6 or 8 of us who travel together so we have to book ahead to make certain we can all get on the boat! Plus we get the best prices! You will not regret this!
