Sorry so late in posting. Just seems like no time to get anything done. All went well on our flight over and easy transfer to the ship. GREAT first lunch a really good Prime Rib - perfectly medium rare. We ate lunch with Tom and Mary, and most of the group dropped by the table. It is always so nice to see everyone again.

First day was a day at sea. We slept in really late and had lunch in Prime 7. Then of course cards at 2.00 pm and trivia at 4.00 pm. They have trivia and tea together in the Observation Lounge. This may be my favorite ship because there is enough room for trivia with a full tea on this ship. Our trivia team is Jim, Pam, Janice, Joe and Dave.

First port of call was New Castle. We cancelled a tour as it left in the afternoon and I was worried that we would not be back in time for our cocktail party. So we took the shuttle into town and walked around.

That night we had our cocktail party in the Library and it worked very well.

We had the drawings for the FCC's and preliminary winners for this cruise.
$8,000 FCC for Oceania and the winner was a client of Linda's named Robert (do not put surnames on the internet)
$10,000 FCC for Regent the winner was a client of Susan's Kim
Preliminary Free Cruise Winners - Curt and Sheila, Jack and Cirrelda, Bob and Joan, and Dave and Joan.

Final free cruise winner will be drawn September 23rd.
