Stumblefoot Posted September 5, 2016 #172 Share Posted September 5, 2016 And if people are wondering whether my pink jacket made the trip-of course it didOutstanding! If we ever cruise again on the same voyage, I'll be sure to wear my dark navy with a pink shirt to complement your outfit, because an orange jacket may just get me kicked off the ship.
