Folks, we’re setting sales records here. Over 110 cabins have already been reserved for the National Review 2005 British Isles Cruise. That’s no surprise, given the amazing speakers – Bill Buckley, Paul Johnson, Peggy Noonan, Larry Kudlow, Robert Bork, David Pryce-Jones, Kate O’Beirne, Rich Lowry, Jay Nordlinger, John O’Sullivan – who will be sailing on Crystal Cruise’s ultra-luxurious Symphony from July 10-21, visiting London/Dover, Liverpool, Waterford, Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, and St. Peter Port (on Guernsey). We are now out, as in “SOLD OUT,” of the most affordable cabins. So keep dilly-dallying, keep putting off booking that cabin, and before you know it you will be guaranteed to miss this true once-in-a-lifetime voyage. Or you can make certain you will be part of this fantastic trip by going to www.nrcruise.com and reserving your beautiful stateroom now!

For those of you who have always wanted to go on an NR cruise but haven’t, for whatever reason (maybe you fear you’ll be picked last for the shuffleboard tournament), take some inspiration from the fact that the “typical” NR cruise alumni has been on five of the 16 (!!) sea-faring funfests we’ve had since 1994. NR cruisers return again, and again, and again because NR cruises are wonderful experiences (enjoyed in the company of wonderful people!). So go ahead and take the plunge (lifejackets not required). Sign up now. And if it will make a difference, I promise to pick you first for my shuffleboard team!
