I loved the story of the dinner with the orchestra Arlene. Very heart warming. Good for you making that happen.

YEARS ago on the Song of Flower when we used to stay up until 2.00 am every night dancing (when we were younger - what the heck happened) we met a young man named Luke. His job was to vacuum all the carpets at night. He was a sweetheart. He would give us a big smile every night and we really grew fond of our "goodnight" from Luke. So we did the same thing and had to jump through hoops to get him in the dining room but he loved it.

The wonderful part of this story is Luke is now a Destinations Manager for Regent/Oceania. Amazing from the vacuum cleaner to running a staff and a senior position. When I see him on the ship it always makes me so happy. Katja who is also a Destinations Manager who some of you may know was his mentor and he certainly came a long way.
