    Good Afternoon,
    
    I was wondering if any of you have taken the Meridian Ship out of
    Boston to Bermuda.  If so how was the ship and the trip.  My husband
    and I are thinking of taking a cruise in September on this ship.
    
    Any info or thoughts would be appreciated.
    Joanne

    	Joanne,
    
    		My wife took a cruise on that ship (about 2 1/2 years ago)
    	before it was refurbished and renamed the Meridian... she was not 
    	impressed at all.  We have since sailed together on the SS Norway
    	and she said that there was absolutely no comparison.  The ship is
    	not all that big and they ran into rough seas and the trip was VERY
    	uncomfortable (don't forget... Sept. is still hurricane season!).
    	She also said that the food wasn't all that great (cold cuts for
    	midnight buffet!).
    
    		They may have changed their act, but I would advise some 
    	serious investigating.
    
    	Ed
