What do you do with the tokens? Get to buy Regent merchandise????

Therese, I only have only won one token :) in all my cruises so I have never actually exchanged them but yes, you can get Regent merchandise with them.

Last I "cashed in" tokens, they offered things like hats, etc. I got a visor.

Are the old tokens with the harp on them still good? I have a couple left over from a previous cruise, and thought I'd use them on next year's DC trip--I figure with 71 days, I'm bound to stumble on a few more.

Speaking of tokens; we didn't win at trivia today, but we had fun!

We had a wonderful dinner in CR with Alan/Denise, Pat/Fred...what great dinner companions! After dinner we all hurried to the spectacular piano concert by Pearl...what an accomplished lady and so gracious!

Tomorrow there is a country fair - maybe we will win some tokens! I have two so far!

Maria and I have a great idea for pole dancing - perhaps tomorrow there will be some pictures of it! ;)

Your dinner with such terrific characters must have been a laugh a minute, Sue! High fives, to ya! Now, we're on the edge of our computers waitin' for the aforementioned pole dancin' escapades!! CROSSers are heatin' up!!

You can still use the old tokens with the lyre on them and it doesn't matter if they're the green, dark blue or light blue. There are some new items now. Check out the beige canvas cary bag for 7 tokens, they're stronger than the old white ones and a laptop fits in perfectly.

We had a wonderful evening last night. Dinner with Fred/Pat, Sue/Tom was really enjoyable. Dining choices included Rack of Lamb and Dover Sole! Ngaire would have been in Nirvana! I must say that each and every dining experience on Voyager is superb. Alan and I can't recall a sailing with better dining than on CROSS. We want for nothing.

After dinner, we saw the last performance by Pearl Kaufman. What a marvelous, accomplished pianist.

Our group then moved into the "Voyeur" Lounge. So much fun.

Today, more enrichment lectures to feed our relaxed brains. Country Fair at 2:30. Ice cream tea and trivia at 4:00. Busy and wonderful day ahead.

Weather gods continue to smile upon us.

Tonight, dinner with Nini and Bud. A pleasure meeting them and we look forward to a very enjoyable evening.

Time to grease a few poles!

A lively night last night. After our dinner in Signatures with Kathy and Frank they headed off to the show. Frank and I elected to check out the casino, I actually came out ahead last night. Then after the show we met up with John/Priscilla, Denise/Alan, Shirley/Sandy, and Bob/Maria for "big band" dancing which was lots of fun. After we convinced everyone to move on to the Voyager lounge for awhile and a little more dancing. There are actually pictures of people dancing!! Finally called it a night around 1:00. Everyone is saying this morning that we had a storm last night, but you sure couldn't prove it by me.

Beautiful sunny day this morning. Country fair later in the afternoon, dance class is Rhumba, Frank wants to go, so we will. He had Kristin the dance instructor showing him how last night - of course she knows what she is doing!

Trivia was tough yesterday and we got 11 - I think the two winning teams tied at 12.

Dinner tonight with Sandy and Shirley and another single lady we've met Collete. Frank is in heaven with the idea of dinner with four ladies and him.

Part 1 of 3: Greetings from CROSS on day 14 of our cruise. I haven’t posted because I haven’t had the time. We have been burning the candle at both ends and loving every minute of it. I plan to post a cruise review when I get back home. It will be boring because I have almost nothing but superlatives to offer. This cruise has met or exceeded all of our high expectations. The LCT folks we have met are stellar people all. The weather has been mostly clear and sunny with lows in the upper fifties and highs in the mid seventies. The seas have been largely calm. The food and service have been sensational. The ports stops have all been interesting leaving us, in most cases, wanting more. The on board entertainment and other diversions have been quite good. Voyager is in great condition. I am a happy camper and I think most passengers would say the same. I would echo most of the posts you have already read. Here are a few random aspects of our particular experience to date.
We loved our two days in Nice prior to the cruise. On our second day in Nice, we asked our private guide to take us to several of the traditional stops in the mountains surrounding Nice. But we made one deviation and we are ever so glad we did. We scheduled a stop at a local goat farm located a mountain north of Nice. Fred found it on the internet. Our experienced local guide had never heard of it. Our plan was to find the farm, meet the farmer and his goats, buy some goat cheese, and have a nice picnic on our drive back down the mountain. We drove up up up a narrow winding road for thirty minutes. By this time, our guide and at least one of the four of us had begun to have doubts about the sanity of this venture. Those doubts vanished when we stepped out of the car to a breathtaking view of Nice and the full Mediterranean coastline from a farm located on the second highest peak in the mountain chain to the north. Paragliders soared overhead as we were greeted, of all people, by an attractive American college student from Portland who was taking a sabbatical from her studies at Reed College to be a French goat farmer. She walked us up a hill where we met about four dozen of the world’s most personable goats and their equally personable farmer-dad. Along with a dozen Norwegians who were visiting that day, we were given an interesting cheese making demonstration, shown the milking barn, introduced to a friendly and inquisitive male goat who was being nursed back to health after an unfortunate encounter with hostile dogs, and taken to several picnic tables for a cheese tasting. We were expecting a few pieces of cheese on toothpicks. To our surprise, we were offered a full lunch which included a pitcher of local wine, a tasty fresh salad, freshly made French bread, and eight varieties of goat cheese including one that had been made that morning and a dessert cheese. Goat cheese never tasted so good. This was an experience we will never forget and one that most folks who visit Nice never enjoy. It isn’t for everyone. But for us, it was the highlight of our pre-cruise experience.
We like to strike out on our own when in port and we did so during our day and a half in Barcelona. This was a mistake. We should have engaged a guide for the day or taken a couple of the ship’s tours because Barcelona is so congested it is quite hard to get around. We had planned to see the city by using the on and off tour bus. This is an excellent and inexpensive way to visit lots of cities and we expected it to be so in Barcelona. Not so, at least in early November. The problem is there are more bus customers than bus seats. We noticed quite a long line by the kiosk where we purchased our bus tickets and asked the clerk about it. He said “That line is nothing. It often stretches way around the block.” As we stood in that line, three buses pulled up and loaded before we got on one. We also noticed lots of people cutting in line ahead of us. We finally boarded a bus and then saw lines at each of the stops the bus made before we exited. We left lots of people behind at each stop because our bus was totally packed. I have little patience for standing in long lines, particularly during a brief port stop. So we ditched our bus tickets, took a cab to lunch, and then caught the shuttle back to the ship. To be continued... Pat

Part 2 of 3: Over the years, we have had consistently good experiences consulting the message boards for recommendations and then engaging private guides at port stops. On this trip, we had a close call at our day-long port stop in Agadir, Morocco. We had found a tour agency based in Casablanca that planned for us a half-day trip in Casablanca and a full-day tour in Agadir. The Casablanca tour went well in spite of the fact we landed two hours late due to fog. But when we left Voyager at the port in Agadir there was no car waiting for the four of us. The port agent informed us the car had arrived at the ship and then was turned back by Agadir security for lack of the “proper papers.” He was on his cell phone trying to make arrangements for the car’s return when a fellow hopped out of a nearby tour mini-bus that had been sitting there all the time waving a pre-printed sign that read “Carol Williams/Fred Steffan.” Fred is the “Fred Steffan” part of that odd sign. The fellow welcomed us onto the mini-bus and said, “We will wait for the Carol Williams party of four and then tour Agadir.” Red flags! Fred immediately switched into French and firmly informed the fellow we had booked a tour for a party of four, not eight, and a tour to Taroudant, not Agadir. When the fellow saw that we were serious and would likely bow out rather than accept alternative arrangements (actually, if the Carol Williams party had ever shown up and had wanted to see Taroudant, we would have welcomed them on board, as there was plenty of room on the mini-bus; but Fred wisely didn’t let him know this in order to maintain our bargaining position),the guy produced a friendly smile and a “No problem. No problem.” He and the driver proceeded to take us on the tour we had planned. While we had to insist that he take us to “our restaurant” in Taroudant rather than “his,” the day was otherwise uneventful and delightful.
Our stop in Lanzarote was brief so we booked the south Lanzarote ship’s tour based on positive comments posted on the message boards. I found this tour absolutely sensational. Volcanic south Lanzarote is fascinating, a photographer’s dream. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Our guide was terrific. Tourism is ninety per cent of the Lanzarote economy and they do it really. The bus, thanks to Regent’s tour policy, was only half full so everyone who wanted one had a window seat. There were no “difficult” passengers on board. And the tour included a camel ride that was delightful. We had memorable experiences at all of our port stops, but for me this was the best of them.
By the way, Voyager is full and, according to our Cruise Consultant, ninety-five percent of the passengers are repeaters.
Previous posters have told you how wonderful this cruise experience has been, so I won’t repeat the accolades. I agree with them. But I will share a couple of experiences wehave had dining on board.
For the first time ever cruising Regent, Signatures, the alternative dining restaurant, disappointed us. During the first segment of the cruise we dined at Signatures with Kathy and Frank Rappaport. While the service was perfection as usual, some of the food we were served was off. Two of us found the escargot and the rack of lamb really weak. And all four of us found the seafood bisque way too salty to eat. All four bowls of soup went back to the kitchen. We later learned during our cooking class tour of the galley that each day the executive chef and his top staff meet to review all of the” happenings” of the previous day. They take the negatives very seriously and make appropriate corrections immediately. It was therefore no surprise to us that circumstances in Signatures had changed when we returned a couple of days ago. There was a new menu. And the quality of the food was back to the standard we have come to take for granted at Signatures. It is marvelous experience this kind of responsiveness throughout the ship.
To be continued... Pat

Part 3 of 3: A lot of you reading this post have cruised with Regent’s marvelous guitarist Frankie “Dahling” Holiday. For those of you who haven’t, you have a treat awaiting you. He is a brilliant musician with a unique and fetching personality on stage and off. Fred and I had the good fortune to dine with Frankie and Karen, his girlfriend who is sailing as his guest on this trip, in Compass Rose a few nights ago. We tried very hard, and I think with success, to avoid engaging them with ship talk on the assumption they must get oh so bored with it. Instead, we talked cooking and food. Frankie gave us a fascinating and animated description of his approach to preparing his signature dish, Hungarian goulash. Clearly the man cooks with the verve and gusto that he exhibits on stage. With Fred and Karen and Frankie all talented cooks and food enthusiasts, the meal which featured a delicious osso buco and a less than stellar anis squash soup (you can’t win ‘em all) passed by all too quickly. But the best thing about the evening was our entrance to Compass Rose. We arrived early because Frankie was playing at 9:00 p.m. The room was nearly empty. As we walked to our table waiters converged on us from multiple directions sporting broad smiles and a consistent message: “Welcome, Dahling.” We learned they genuinely love Frankie as much as we do. I’ve never seen this ship’s staff so animated. Over a number of Regent cruises I’ve enjoyed dining with officers and staff on a number of occasions. But the memories of most of those meals have faded. I am certain my fond memories of dinner with Frankie and Karen will linger over the years.
Patrick

Pat, thanks so much for the wonderful postings! It sounds just amazing, thanks for all the details, hope Voyager is still in good shape 4 weeks from now!

Pat, thanks for the detailed reports. I thought when I met you guys and Fred went into French how handy that must be. It surely would have helped me along the way with 3 days at various places in France.

I mentioned to you guys at that lunch that the seafood bisque and the halibut were too salty at Signatures and I sent them back uneaten, and you all said that was surprising. It's in my report, too to talk to the chef. I guess we all have to see, but other people I met said the same thing and even of sauces (but nothing I ever ordered HAD a sauce). I think they could fix this without changing the menu, but a variety is good.

I could tell from meeting you and Fred and Kathy and Frank that you all ove unique and interesting experiences and will go out of your way to find them. I am delighted that this trip has met all of those types of your expectations. Continue to sparkle and enjoy life, and we will await your commentary and Kathy's pics. I hope we all meet again for longer than a couple of hours. Take care.

Yes, Debbie, we love living life and the adventures with our friends especially. We'd do a transatlantic again in a heartbeat. We booked a 2009 itinerary and 2008 will be two weeks on
Oceania. We want to do a bit of land travel and will slow our cruising down just a smidge. As I've cruised more, I find that I need less security in travelling via ship and wandering in port is very comfortable now - even if we do not speak the local languages.

As for CROSS, we did Signatures again - this time with Frank and JoAnn, and thought it'd be better than the week before, and I can honestly say this cruise food in Compass Rose has been the best for this cruise. Our first meal in Latitudes was exceptional but this week's menu is like Chinese Take Out and not as good. Nothing to note of interest as was the Garlic Galangal Chicken of last year and the year before. Lamb in Signatures was a bit overdone, but still flavorful.

Pat's report is spot on. It's been a perfect cruise we've enjoyed. Service is excellent. Not a blip anywhere. Most of the passengers have been lovely - this group is a bit older but that was what we expected with a 16 day itinerary.

The ports have been terrific, the seadays, even with today's storm - plenty to do. The Country Fair was moved until tomorrow because of the rain. Naps a treasure. We've made a few new friends and treasure the old. We're dining with Priscilla and John tonight. Today was our last Cordon Bleu class - we (Peggy, Jan and Fred, and Freddie) had a lot of good laughs and fun doing the program. I have a feeling we will see disembarcation paperwork tonight or tomorrow. Two full days left. They will have to pry me from the ship I think.

Kathy,What foods did you prepare for the Cordon Bleu and who was the chef? I tried registering a long time ago and am on a waiting list.Sure hope they add a second class like the time I did it before. So happy you are having such a great cruise and can hardly wait for Auckland ,

So glad to hear from you Pat. You both usually post so much I was beginning to wonder if you were onboard. Made me smile to read your post. That goat farm sounded really great. Frankie is a personality and I have sailed with him many times. I too am starting to like these crossings and look forward to the cruises I have booked in 2008 with lots of sea time.

The ship is still rocking a bit, but not bad. I hope the weather tomorrow is better so they can have the Country Fair (it was called off for today).

Dinner this evening in La Veranda was fabulous. Tom had lobster and I had egg plant parmesan. We are eating way too much, but loving every minute of it.

We didn't do well at triva today, but we had a lot of laughs which is great!

Tomorrow night is the dance party in the Atrium and we are looking forward to that.

I never ran across Maria today, so no pole dancing pics! Maybe tomorrow! :banana:

Pat loved your informative well written post - ahhh the goat farm - how special - thanks so much - Joanna

Pat, I just LOVED your post! Gives me the reason to go back to Nice, and arrive early!

Pat - thanks for sharing your trip. Goat cheese at the source .. what an inspired idea. Good heads up about Barcelona. Give our best to Fred.

Cheers, Anne

Thanks for the great posts, Pat. It's so hard when you're having fun on the ship to take the time to write and I do appreciate it. The visit to the goat farm must have really been something.
Unique experiences like that are my favorite. Enjoy the last few days of your cruise.

Well we got thru the storms yesterday, but it is still rocking, in my opinion a lot. Frank and I were having dinner with Shirley and Sandy last night in LaVeranda, when I finally had to just give up and leave the table, take a pill and lie down. I was so upset to miss the gnocchi in sage butter which I love, and eggplan parmesean. I finally started feeling better around 10 so we went down to the casino for a bit and I did ok. Then wandered up to Observation where we found just about everyone and had a couple of drinks with them. Then just came back and I took another pill and went to bed.

Feeling better this morning and I will just keep ahead of it by staying on the pills and not trying to make it on just ginger. Frank went to the dance class this morning, I've given up even trying to go into the aerobics room where they hold it, its just too rocky. Haven't seen anyone this morning except Kathy and Frank whom we had breakfast with.

Formal night tonight, and atrium dance party. Looking forward to it. Dinner will be with Bob, Maria, Peggy and Jerry.

Started organizing our packing this morning and did a quick load of laundry - so come tomorrow it won't be too bad.

This has truly been a wonderful cruise and we've had so much fun with the LCT group. Our trivia team is doing ok, second place again, and Tom had to fill in for Peggy as she didn't get out of the cooking class on time. We had 12, would have had 13 if we hadn't changeed one of our answers - lesson learned, first instincts are usually right!!!

As the days go by we get lazier and lazier. Today we haven't done the gym and we skipped dance class, too! :eek:

So far we have not gotten seasick, but we take a meclizine each day. As JoAnn said it seems the storm has passed, but we are still rocking a good bit. I hope the weather holds out so we can attend the Country Fair - I am sure it will be a lot of fun.

We are looking forward to the Atrium Dance Party this evening. :chicken:

The rain yesterday didn't dampen our fun. Lectures, eating, computer time, eating, visiting with friends, eating, trivia, eating, bingo, eating filled our day.

The ship has been rocking since yesterday, but. happy to say, Alan and I haven't been affected.

Alan and I had dinner last night with Nini and Bud. We had a really wonderful time and were the last to make our way out of CR last night. We then headed to the Observation Lounge to meet up with everyone. Frankie was playing the guitar, which added to the enjoyment. Fred told me, the previous evening, that Frankie is Hungarian and that's all I needed to hear, being half-Hungarian. I introduced myself on Thurs. night to Frankie and we discussed all things Hungarian, as we will be visiting Hungary next year. When we entered Observation Lounge last night, he began playing Hungarian/Jewish songs on his guitar. He's wonderful.

Today is sunny and beautiful. Had an international lunch out on the pool deck, which was outstanding. In fact, dining during this entire crossing has been superb. Regent has outdone themselves for those of us fortunate to be on this cruise.

Country Fair at 2:30 today, which should be a blast. Our trivia group is hoping for another win this afternoon, to make it 4 wins.

Tonight, Priscilla/John, Maria/Bob, Alan/yours truly have been invited to dine with Capt. Hansen, after Captain's Farewell. A great evening is anticipated.

I am hating the thought of this cruise coming to an end. It's been a fabulous time with really wonderful, congenial and fun-loving friends!

Part 1 of who knows how many:

Okay, Okay, Ngaire, dearest – I am in fact not dead or absent from this cruise, merely slothful. When one has mojitos and caipirinhas to drink at the pool bar (made by Alfonso, whom we have renamed “Mojito Boy” in view of how much some of us enjoy watching him make those labor-intensive drinks - calm down, Karen, we will give no further prurient details), long breakfasts, lunches, afternoon teas, and, of course, marvelous dinners, to eat, and many languorous naps to take, there seems to be little time to spend at the keyboard of our laptop. Nevertheless, I will not let the side down and will crank out a few comments, observations, and other more-or-less relevant bits from my somewhat hung-over stream of consciousness. Pat has already posted much about our impressions and special memories. I will try to supplement those messages somewhat, perhaps adding my own addled spin to them.

As you may have guessed from Pat’s posts, in our memory banks this trip will certainly be renamed, “GOATS”. Unless something overwhelmingly dramatic occurs before we land at FLL in a couple of days (i.e. iceberg collision a la Titanic…), our two adventures with goats will remain the unusual highlights of the trip. That encounter with dozens of sweet and affectionate chevres, followed by the delightful feast outside the farmhouse while looking across the hills to the sea, was right out of the pages of “A Year in Provence”. We will long savor the visual and gustatory memories of the large wicker tray heavily laden with that bounty of goat cheeses. By the end of the lunch, it was in fact far less heavily laden – hey, if you have to choose one of the seven deadly sins in which to indulge, gluttony is one of the most fun, no??

The second goat encounter, the tree-climbing goats on the Road to Taroudant (I’m thinking of writing a song about the “Road to Taroudant”, if I can convince Willy Nelson or some other over-the-hill Moroccan C&W crooner to sing it…), was equally memorable, if not quite as satisfying culinarily. The image of Kathy being handed that baby goat by the goatherd is a memory as sweet as the recollection of Pat’s aghast expression when the goatherd offered to let him inspect one of the excreted argon nuts is hilarious. The gentleness and amiability of the tree-climbers was utterly (and udderly) entrancing. It is a bit unfortunate that another group of LCTers who also visited the goats were a bit less engaged with the goats, based on some concern that they might bite (ah, city folk just don’t seem to understand the innate friendliness of goats). As it turned out, they (the goats, not the LCTers) may have tried to nuzzle us to death, but never bared their teeth even for an instance.

Many people on the ship have complained that Regent should not even make stops at Agadir, since it is such a dreary city. Of course, our hardy group of LCTers who do their “due diligence” know that while Agadir is indeed a city of scant appeal, there are exotic delights within a moderate drive, such as Taroudant, whose old city is a real view into Moroccan markets, not to mention the opportunity to see the tree-climbing goats on the way there. Our lunch at the hotel Palais Salaam, the former palace of the Grand Pasha of Taroudant, was a whimsical respite from the heat and dust of the old city, as we wandered the cool gardens and ate beside fountains whose tender music banished all of the noise and bothersome details of life outside the high walls of our little haven of flowers, fountains, tile, and carved marble. As Groucho Marx said in his famous book of advice on living well, “If you got to choose between being a Pasha and a pauper, go for Pasha every time!!”

(Time for the Country Fair on the Pool Deck – to be continued) Cheers, Fred

Part 2 of ???:
Back from the Country Fair. It’s a cute event, if you are fond of crowds of screaming passengers on the pool deck, rather silly games, lots of forced jollity, and seeing the bartenders and dancers in tight cowboy outfits (hmm, upon reflection with regard to that last feature of the party, maybe it wasn’t such an unfortunate event…). Moving right along to less lecherous topics, we consider the camel rides on Lanzarote.

Some passengers did not take the tour which included the camel rides because they understandably thought the camel ride would be something like riding the ponies in a circle at the zoo. In fact, it was quite artificial, not remotely authentic, and an absolute hoot!!! Just watching everyone hold on for dear life as the camels lurch to their feet and then make a similarly ungraceful descent at the end of the 20-minute camel ride is worth the price of admission. We were fortunate to not have had the pleasure of having the camel behind us drool all over our shirts, as did several other passengers. Oh well, I’ve had it on quite good authority that camel slobber is an excellent fabric softener. Without reservation we would recommend the tour of South Lanzarote with the camel ride, even though we have most assuredly removed camels from our list of potential housepets.

Funchal – a city of great beauty. Further, the occasion to get a magnificent bouquet of proteas and orchids for our cabin, along with a lovely bouquet for our cabin attendant – priceless. For everything else in Funchal, there’s MasterCard.

Yikes, almost time for Trivia, which has been a bit frustrating as some of the Trivial Pursuits answers are simply wrong (i.e. stating that the first U.S. president to visit the USSR was Nixon, not FDR – our answer). But we will continue to try to outwit or out-dimwit the competition.

(To be continued, depending upon the supply of Macallan single malt scotch…) Cheers, Fred

Ah Freddie dearest now I am content. How could you be on a cruise and we at home not get the delight of reading your incredible posts! I am all smiles. :app:

Great report Freddie, all this talk about great food and cocktails is getting us very excited for our Dec 7th Voyager cruise, I will have to drop a few pounds so I can load up on all the goodies, especially with the Focus on Chocolate.

FV

Freddie,
I loved..loved...LOVED your posts! Your description of the camel ride left me in stitches! Thanks!!

I have so enjoyed all the posts - hard to believe this trip is ending - thanks for taking us along and safe trip home to all!!!

Freddie,
You must have the same trivia writer that we do. There is usually 1 wrong answer per day (we google them after to verify.)
Jim

Ahh, Freddie. I've been waiting for your reports. Love the humor. Thanks for taking the time to write.

Fred and Pat,

The seamail is now perfect. Fred....please, please write a book of your travels... I might just laugh until I can no more.

Thanks for posting, Freddie. I loved your animal stories. I will not let Todd read this thread, as I booked a desert safari on our Dubai trip in a couple of weeks ago (even though he wasn't for it), and he says he is NOT riding a camel (which of course he is)!

I hope you guys have some pics of the tree climbing goats and the camel, along with some other experiences. The trip sounds magical.

What a sunny - lovely Sunday morning on Voyager. We attended the church service and then went on to bkfst in CR. I splurged and had blueberry pancakes that were really good.

Back-tracking a bit we had a great dinner with JoAnn/Frank, Peggy/Jerry, Jan/Fred in CR. After dinner we went to the Observation Lounge and then down to the Atrium Dance party which was a fun experience.

Coming back to our suite after bkfst we found the dreaded Bon Voyage blanket on the bed waiting for us to pack. :lct:

Sue, I can't believe your wonderful trip is coming to an end!! We have all loved hearing from you and the CROSSers! We'll all go through a bit of withdrawl!

Safe travels home!!

This has been a wonderful thread! Thanks to all for posting during this cruise. Can't wait to be on Voyager in just a few short weeks for my first Regent cruise.

Everyone have a safe trip home and we'll be looking forward to lots of pics!!

Thank you CROSSers, for all your posts. It was fun just to read them--you all clearly had a wonderful time. Makes me look forward to future sailings with LCTers. What a great bunch!

Oh NO....CROSS seamail will be ending soon :(

Thank you to all of you for such wonderful news of life at sea (and shore). I'd love to meet the goats, the camels and all of the LCT shipmates (not necessarily in that order!)

Wishing all of you a safe journey home and many wonderful cruises in your future!

Don't worry Margo, in a few weeks you will have some real yackers on LAMB!
