Our delightful cruise began with a pre cruise get together with the wonderful people I met on the board here. We had a great time and everyone was ready to have a good time. They are a great bunch of people from all over and all over.

Embarkation Day - all went smoothly with arrival around 11:00 ad not much in the way of lines.
