We've booked another cruise- 35 Day Voyage of the Vikings

Bob & I  have decided to take another cruise this summer before our BIG one in January because next year we wont be able to travel much after July until Dec/Jan 2016.  Unless we get a extension from OHIP. That's the Canadian Health Plan in Ontario.  So this is what we are planning right now as of last night.  Confirmation to follow on Monday Jun 23.....With a booking number on Holland American Veendam.  We have less than 21 days to do research and tour bookings with Cruise Critic.  Once I get confirmation with HAL I will work on flights to Boston and a hotel.  Anyone out there have any recommendation's for us please comment below
