Since there will be 50+ MINTers I really hope that the other people on board the Mariner will not feel uncomfortable if they want to use a bar or lounge where we have gathered. I think we will need to be careful not to misuse our large number. If you've ever been on cruise where an organized group took over, you know annoying this can be.

I am wondering what we should say when people notice we are together and ask if we are bound by a common thread other than a devotion to vodka and cranberry juice. Should we tell them about Ngaire and invite them to this site? What is the polite thing to do, and do Ngaire and our moderators have a preference about this?
