Anne, JoAnne;

Thank you too Jo Anne, Anne;...it is a pleasure to give back to LCT as we get to vicariously enjoy your posts when you post onboard...last Friday had an opportunity to meet Mary Ellen at the LCB graduation cocktail party--then it was on to the best meal on a cruise ship Ida and I had. We ate in Signatures (they do a special menu just for the LCB graduates and spouses (lucky me). For our extra sea day this past Monday, (due to fishnet in propeller) we dined in Latitudes for the first time. What a tasty, different dining venue. We deligtfully enjoyed Voyager's remarkable variety of four unique dining venues (vs. Navigator's, SS--two). We are already changing our cruise from Med in 2010 back to Crossing in 2010 if on Voyager--we loved the cruise rhythm you truly relax/enjoy on a crossing.

ps...know there have been some questionable posts on the new Voyager Captain's seamanship..we found Capt Sanquinetti (as he sez, "our designated driver" to be the most engaging Captain we have had in six cruises. He is warmly engaging/personable, eats in all dining venues (had his wife on board--who was very friendly) and you will find him in every part of the ship (fitness room (daily), horizon lounge, etc)...after his
announcement last week about our one day delay..I noted he made himself available on deck five (reception area, travel conscierge desk, coffee corner)and engaged in personal (one-on-one) discussions with many passengers (who were naturally anxious/curious about our delay)

pss..our suite neighbor Norm took these picutures
during the LCB cooking class...there are a few with M'Ellen and Ida..enjoy:
