Authors’ Acknowledgments
The authors would like to thank the many travel writers and
experts who have contributed their opinion and expertise to this
and other recent Hannafin-Sarna productions, including Christina
Colon, Tamar Schreibman, Mike Driscoll, Ben Lyons, Art Sbarsky,
Darlene Simidian, Ted Scull, Anne Kalosh, Marilyn Green, Ken

rible, no-good, very bad work year. Heidi would like to thank her
twin sons, Kavi and Tejas, for being such good sailors at the ripe
old age of four (12 cruises and counting), and her husband Arun
for putting up with the cruise biz all these years.
