Here's another announcement:

Squash those Disney to Alaska rumors;

Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Cruise West and Norwegian Cruise Line each were awarded a 10-year contract to operate in Alaska¢s Glacier Bay National Park from 2010 to 2019.

The national park said Disney Cruise Line had withdrawn its proposal for a permit, and that French small-ship line Le Ponant did not get a permit but might be offered a contract to enter Glacier Bay outside the peak season of June through August.
