Chris & Ginny's Journey Cruise - 9 day Trip

[sonicbuffalo]

I was Grills Seafood and Tiki Bar and watched you sail away. Do you recall why yall sailed out so late? We kept waiting and waiting and finally after we got our table, yall sailed by later that evening. Seemed really late. We boarded Magic the very next day.

 

From what I heard, it was because of a in depth Coast Guard inspection and from the Captain, the loading of additional supplies for the 9 day voyage. Thanks for the question.
