Liz, that's not done on duck cruises...that's a C@ tradition and we don't want to tread on anyone's toes.

Just wanted to stop in and say "Hi"

We booked this cruise last summer within days of getting off the Amsterdam -- we really loved this cruise.

Hope to see some of you around the ship -- guess I'll be able to figure who you all are -- wearing "Duck" gear.

Some of us bring small duck stuff for everyone, but it isn't mandatory or even necessarily expected. For example, last year for Bermuda, I had M&Ms printed with a duck and the ship name that we gave everyone. On the last Alaska Duck cruise, I made little cross stitch ornaments with the outline of the state of Alaska and a duck button, so nothing terribly expensive.

One of things Mal will say is have fun and enjoy yourselves.

Never met an olive I didn't like
It appears that I have been called to task, summoned, or rattled from my proverbial cage, and therefore I feel the urgency to add comment. There was a time in the not so distant yesteryears, that I stumbled upon the instance of adherence to proclamarity that brings things to mention. In this time of subreality, I discovered that leaning in the direction of ones fortitude gives a powerful thrust to gaining the principles that envelop ones being. Tough critics may argue that such fortitude and thrust can only be achieved on the 3rd full moon after the autumnal equinox, I have first hand knowledge that such recurrence follows the flight pattern of the south African mongoose, and not lunar cycles. I hope this clears up any misconceptions that any one has in the matter, and I look forward to the lively discussions to follow.

I leave you as always….in Olives,

Mal D.

Hey Alf, remember, you asked! Perhaps we can attempt to convince him to sing for us again or play the piano, or both. After all, we have two weeks to convince him.....and it's WORTH it. Hey Mal, July 8 is our real 26th wedding anniversary....just sayin'.

Okay, Olive Man, our REAL 26th anniversary is July 7. We had the renewal of vows early last year, because we wanted to do the renewal on the ship. Isn't that when we have the group dinner in the Pinnacle Grill? I would love to hear you sing again this year, and I won't even be picky about what you sing. Well......I could do without Purple People Eater, or Puff the Magic Dragon, and I would even bring olives! i have this picture in my mind of a very tall yellow DUCK carrying a "Will Sing for Olives" sign.

Question: Is there wi-fi or wireless access in the cabins?

QUACK!

Another voice heard from here. Have an idea I'd like y'all to try out. If it wurks, I'll try to set up the same thing on the Kaka Kruise ...

Each couple bring a bottle of wine from their hometown/area. Or, maybe two (1 - white / 1 - red). Then, at a time convenient to all .... meet in a cabin (or maybe at a Meet & Greet) and have a wine tasting ...

Let me know how it turn out ... Thanks!


QUACK!

Okay folks, time to think about packing! I don't know whether to bring long sleeved clothes or short sleeved clothes, so I guess it will be some of each. It's going to be rough taking enough clothes for two weeks but keeping the suitcases under the 50 pound limit. I've always said I wouldn't do laundry on a cruise, but I may have to change my mind this time! QUACK

Time to start QUACKING, too!
