Marcie & Tom: You are truly special to be dining with the Capt. first time on board! But then, I know you know Capt. Dag so well and he was undoubtedly very happy to see someone he knows so well.

Can you still see the patch outside on the starboard side of the ship? That suite was where the lady was taking a bath and the grenade hit a mirror in the bathroom. She was covered with glass. Can you picture us all huddled together down in the middle of dining room while Capt. Sorenson manuevered the ship to cause a big wake so as to swamp the little boats the pirates were in? It was a very scary time indeed and for the rest of that cruise the curtains on the windows in the dining room were closed.

Have a great time and I'll be looking forward to hearing all about it next Jan. Have a bread stick for me and don't forget to order that cheese app. it's to die for. Forget what it's called!
