Yes steve, it is a well know fact that ALL Americans do have a big stash of money!
Joking aside, I don't really know? I can only imagine that it is as I predicted last year. You can only sit at home worrying about terrorism for so long, sooner or later, people have to get back on with their lives and naturally want a vacation.
The American people are obviously stronger in character, more resilient and wiser that the media gives them credit for!

I'm just guessing, we should ask our American friends?
PS. Our March 3 sailing date is coming fast I'm getting excited about this cruise.
(If I had it, I definitely would have cruised)
