Happy to see you I&#39;m sure. Thanks for having that wine for me, I assume you had it at Vintages like we arranged?  I agree the ship is loud......imagine if the kids weren&#39;t in school....that&#39;s when it&#39;s worse.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br /><br />Rose, the Mariner was sailing almost 800 passengers empty and it was still loud....that promenade area echoes so much.  I liked the ship best when most of the passengers were off&#33;&#33;&#33;  Then one could enjoy a nice, quiet drink in Ellington&#39;s with the view all to oneself or with a special friend...I think my crew friends didn&#39;t know what to make of Joey&#39;s humor sometimes&#33;  They weren&#39;t sure that he wasn&#39;t insulting me....maybe he was&#33;&#33;&#33;
