The National Review 2009 Mediterranean Cruise sails in little more than six weeks. It doesn’t have to sail without you, lollygagger. While there are still a few verandah cabins to be had, and while we decreed that we had run out of the lower-priced categories, the fact is with some finagling, WD-40, and a crowbar we’ve free up three more “Large Ocean View” staterooms (the cost is $2,999 a person). They are available ONLY with double occupancy (no singles, unless you want to pay extra). Okay, so you want to come? Yes, and now indeed you are going to come, right? Good. To make that happen go to www.nrcruise.com and sign up for the Large Ocean View (pay no attention to the “waitlisted” advisory) and get your application in lickety-split. The first three bookings will be guaranteed a great stateroom; the fourth application may, well — we’d rather not think about that.
