Greetings from the Voyager!
Wanted to report in that The Voyager has lived up to all expectations. She looks wonderful, crew is delightful and fantastic food as always. We love our cabin "651". It is such a quiet deck with an exceptionally wide hallway. It seems the perfect location to me. I would say there are about 50% Brits out of 575 onboard - that seems a bit unusual, but everyone is very nice.
Mark Conroy and Rose Clarke have been onboard and it was interesting to get to visit with him. We spend about an hour getting an update on all the improvements to be made to the Voyager and Marriner during dry dock. 20 mil on each - it sounded as if everything was being replaced from crystal to upholdstery. New pool bar setup and new coffee corner. All the pool furniture was replaced overnight and it's very good looking and classy. All that plastic on the decks will go next.
It has been a wonderful cruise and the weather after a drizzly start in Monte Carlo has been perfect. Everyone can eat outside and lay on the deck which I hadn't counted on. 2 nights in Barcelona was great and I think Menorca is my favorite Med island. Quaint, unspoiled and just beautiful. We had a delightful organ concert (complmentary) last night in the gorgeous Majjorca Cathedral -- very special. How we all got up those steps was a miracle but where there's a will there's a way. Rose Clarke was the hostess and she is so charming. Our cruise director is Jamie Logan and his wife Dana. We actually had a wedding aboard with the lead singer Heather and the Executive Chef - how's that for a news flash.
What a Great Cruise --
Jan & Charles
