Olivia, I always have enjoyed ALL the cruise staff even if just for a 1 or 2 week cruise. They ALL do a fantastic job!! Joanna, I guarantee John & Lynsay remember you real well....you & Tony are most memorable!

I think Joanna hit the nail on the head....when you're on with them for 3 or 4 months (or as often as Ngaire & Ken), you get to know them well and consider them friends and family which continues both on or off the ship. I know we do. I feel honored to have been asked to be "honorary" Godmother of a baby due in a few months, all the way in Manila, by a special crewmember.

Many of us are hoping that John Barron will be the CD on the Mariner World Cruise in '09. He has certainly proven his talents and abilities. He was assistant CD under Jamie Logan so he learned from a master!
