Gang, I'm an alum of two Moody Blues cruises and one CTTE... and am fans and friends of many MORC folks. I think this will be a fun adventure and believe there's little to be concerned about. Everyone knows its a Celtic Thunder cruise. Many of us are interested in reconnecting with friends and, candidly, not having to rush from one stage to another for four solid days. It's a nice break for most of us, really.

I'm looking forward to meeting a whole new group of great patrons. The "smelly" comments... LOL. That seems to be one person's observation, but I was on the board for five and ten days immediately following MORC, respectively, (Poesia and Divina) and the ships were clean and smelled fine to me.

I'm half-Irish and have interests in many different music genres. Just as no one should perceive all Irishman as being drunkards, I'd hope I'm not labeled as smelly or misbehaved because of my musical tastes.

For those who are already booked, we'll see you soon. For those who are avoiding this cruise due to some preconceived notion that the metal rockers or progressive rockers are taking over the ship... that's candidly misguided.

We're frequent cruisers (was on four this year... soon to be five) and OTB has historically produced very nice vacations. Furthermore, it's the best sound and stage equipment that money can buy. I'm sure this experience will be no different and will be a positive, memorable experience. Attitude is everything.
