A bad message to all cruisers.
The 'best' cruise review site that I have ever seen, "The Wheelhouse" has closed down on 7th July 2000.

Yes Lapting, this is very sad too, it was one of the first sites on cruising I ever logged on to, for 3 years now, but obviously Ken has explained his reasons for the closure, but it will be sadly missed by a great many cruisers. It was such an easy site to negotiate and quick at loading, I wish someone could just take over the whole site.

Cheers
M.

Re: Cheque - Yes Joe send it to the same address, but make it bigger this time!

(Remember $2000 Dollars is approximately £1330 pounds, not £665, OK)

I have been looking at wheelhouse for some time now and have really enjoyed the content. I love the full cruise reviews given by experienced cruisers and have taken many tips from them. Where do I go now my lovelies?

Still - sad too see it go.
