Thanks, all.

Greg,
Sadly I missed Colonel Thorsness first lecture, but the one I did hear, he talked about the Medal of Honor and some of his fellow recipients. Some very colorful stories there, and he told them well. There was a mention of his 92 Wild Weasel missions in his bio. We saw him out and about, on the ship, and he was very friendly and personable. He seemed to be really enjoying himself, I might add.

Joanne,
We left and returned to Ft. Lauderdale. I do not think you would be disappointed, if you choose to cruise on Crystal.

Olivia,
Yes, you know that I am only repeating what others have said. Ngaire did a wonderful comparison review and Judith is a wealth of Crystal information. To answer your specific questions...yes, I think this cruise was near full. We did have a choice of early or late dining, but I think this cruise was unique, I guess, in that, we did not have a table assignment. So you could dine with whomever you pleased. I liked that! We had dinner one night, just the two of us, and one night we dined with Nancy and another couple.
