The people from Seaview have got it wrong - they very obviously read a post to an e-mail list which said it was SAGA ROSE 2, but was actually a joke.

 

The real name is SAGA STAR.

And now it seems they've changed their mind and they're going with SAGA RUBY!

 

I think they should call her SAGA FICKLE .

I think they should sell her back to Cunard, & let me back on her

I agree!

 

Of course if Saga gets split up there is the possiblity that the cruise division will become independent. If that happens their excuse for not letting on under-50s will be gone so we can start lobbying them to do it .
