OMG Anne. I'm so sad about the crew member death. Your journey has been such a mixed bag, that's for sure. You just need to roll with the moment to moment "ship happens" philosophy. No way to control such things.

I'm happy to hear about the super bowl at the casino, although I loved the jumping crocodiles too. We were able to watch the super bowl on board on our longer January cruises...go figure. I like Olivia's idea (except for the Go Ravens part.. haha), seems like there is a port savings that could have provided the cost of showing the game via satellite. Glad Gary got the tickets though.

Thanks for all your updates. Go 49'ers !
