In keeping with tradition Ros had arranged for a pre cruise dinner with those Cruise Critic members that had arrived in Sydney early.
It was great to meet up with new friends and catch up with some old....
You can’t have a pre cruise dinner without a little frivolity...
Special presentations were given to those who built themselves a bit of reputation from our last cruise...
As Ros is the Cruise critic Director on this cruise she was presented with a Cap naming her our fearless leader, a whistle to be able to gain the attention of 150 members that will be on board.... and a megaphone so they could hear her...
Norm was presented with a Counter as he became the official lap counter on the promenade deck in 2011.
After 12 months of listening to Ray complain about having to get an Indian Visa we decided that we had to present him with a Permanent Residency card for India.. That way he would never have to worry about another Indian Visa again... Also knowing that Ray hates tour guides that talk too much we also decided to give him a set of ear plugs if need be..
Last of all we had some thing for my dearly beloved... As Garry loves his filming one of my biggest stresses in 2011 was that we would lose him whilst on tour.... if you remember from the last blog we lost him in Pompeii.
What I got for him this time is a yellow Shirt so that we can spot him from afar when he has been left behind.... and of course I couldn’t resist putting his name on the back.
Awesome - I love the gifts!
