If you have the opportunity to be on the final cruise of the Diamond, take it. When Suzanne, Crys, my mom and I were on Song's Swan Song in Oct. 03, it was wonderful. Besides the "parting gifts," it was filled with people who loved the ship as much as we did and felt the passing of the Song of Flower as a bittersweet journey. Odd, but the Song disembarked in Civitavecchia on Oct. 23. Funny coincidence!
