Welcome Michele and Don,
We have not done an LCT trip as of yet but definitely want to include some in our future. I often visit the B&K site and am enviously looking at "sold out Roar". I have found friendliness and information at this site as you can attest to.

We did the Voyager November Maiden crossing, from Barcelona to Ft. Lauderdal. Absolutely loved it. My one suggestion to do, if you have not already done so, is to sign up for the Cordon Bleu Cooking Class. It was great during the crossing. It sells out fast.
