The M&M takemewithyou mentioned is one I attended. She is far too modest to tell you that she handled the roll call and got everyone's names, made beautiful name tags, and helped introduce people who attended. The space Azamara gave us was the area on deck 10 starboard where people play bridge and board games. When we arrived, there was a family playing a board game. It's a less-than-ideal ( OK terrible) place for a group to get together because everyone has to try to circulate around the tables. People did their best to introduce themselves.
Because it was a very active roll call, there were lots of people who wanted to meet each other. This is a far cry from the wonderful M&Ms that used to be held in the Library. Many ship's officers attended, people had a chance to introduce themselves to the group in an organized way, drinks and hors d'oeuvres were served, and we were made to feel welcome and valued.
Oh the good old days on Azamara.
