Susan, What a warm welcome you received in Ornskoldsvik. I am sure after 30 years without a cruise ship, the Shadow was a wonderful sight to see. It is the nice touches like the dance group that make cruising fun. Those added activities make it so much more memorable. I still have fond memories of our sailaway from the port town for Glascow with the high school drum and bagpipe group playing. Band mothers were all around waving the Scottish flag and clapping and I thought band mothers are the same all over the world.

Continue to enjoy your cruise and post when you can.
