Lorraine Barron is not related to John. Same last name but a pretty blonde lady from North Carolina. She was an entertainer at one point and her husband was a Chiropractor. She's currently on the Voyager, according to Ngaire, and was filling in when the Raabs left RSSC in 2004. Joann and Frank and Frank and I sailed with her on the New England Cruise 3 years ago. We spent a lot of time with her on board ship when we did that cruise.

And I do think there is a huge difference in the atmosphere of a ship based on the cruise director's personality - the more sedate they are in personality, the less activites, or so it seems to me.

John and Lyndsay were on Mush with all of us as well as Sand last year. They are top notch.
