Thanks for your kind words, Joanna, jhp and Jackie. J-j-J!
On our Med cruise last year, we had scheduled so many excursions, we had little time to enjoy the activities onboard Voyager. I discovered the pleasures of Teatime Trivia and token-bagging events a bit late and I made it a point to have time to play and socialize on Mariner.
We met so many fun and interesting people. By Day 3, three disparate couples had formed the winningest Teatime Trivia team on that sailing. It's amazing how many fellow cruisers recognized and spoke to us based on just that one activity. Dionne Lochner was so good at persuading us to try Guesstures and Scattergories -- we had a ball and laughed ourselves silly. We felt like kids at camp!
Yes, it was a wonderful cruise and it was the people we met that made it so.
