The team included Sherri Eisenberg (editor-in-chief of Bon Voyage magazine), Heidi Sarna (a Singapore-based cruise writer who's been writing about ships for more than 20 years), Ted Scull (a Manhattan-based travel writer who has been cruising on ocean liners since he was a small boy), Lisa Cheng (a Connecticut-based travel writer who spent more time on ships this spring than she did at home), and Donna Heiderstadt (a Long Island, New York-based writer who covered ships for years as part of the honeymoon destinations circuit, and now focuses on them).
