I liked standing on the deck.  Downstairs some of us would play a card game.  Lori Kreger

On the ferry we had a snack.  I had ice cream and french fries.  They had a kiddie pen so me and Megan went in there.  Then we sang on the ship and everone enjoyed.  Kathryn Kuczaj
I played cards, shopped, and went onto the deck.  When we were nearing Ireland we performed for the other people on board.  During the songs I had to sway with the boat a little so that I wouldn’t fall.  When we sang Deep In the Heart Of Texas a man in the audience repeatedly clapped a beat late.  Samantha Lau
