Had to be the Crown in '06.....We had a great cc group and loved hangin' with you two!

 

Ah that was the NYC to Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Crown's first year! Lovely cruise, we missed Bermuda on that cruise though which was a pity. I recall that there were many angry passengers complaining that the only reason they chose that cruise was to go to Bermuda. However, there isn't much that can be done if the winds are too high as they were that day.

That was the one with "oogie" and the crew! Keep your eye on the horizon and the wind at your back, my friend. Happy Cruising!

I come on every day and read them. It is great to know what what treats lie ahead. Thank you.

 

Is there any way to find a kid's menu?
