Default Talk of The Villages Cruise

We're back. What a great experience spending time with, and getting to know, some of the members of this great forum. What wonderful people.

The cruise was great, but the people were terrific.

Jan and Amity.

Jan and Amity,

TOTV has introduced me to a whole new world, and is helping me with a difficult transition to a new life here in TV. I am so grateful to have met so many kind, thoughtful, and caring folks, including yourselves, and it's b/c of TOTV. The cruise that you organized so well reassured me that the folks I have met are friends I will have for life, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am truly crazy about this place, and you deserve credit for my discovery.

Thanks again for the cruise, even though we all probably gained a few excess pounds.
md blondie

Default Sincerest Thanks

Jan and Amity, thank you so much for putting this cruise together. It was wonderful spending time with our dear friends from TOTV and making new friends. We had a ball! Thank you again.

I do have more pictures and will put them up later today or tonight. I've been on many cruises, some with family, but I agree with Ronda. This was the best group cruise with the best group in the world! Village Peeps! Yeah!

With love, vetman and chels

Jan and Amity, Tony and Bernadette....

Mr 07 and I also immensely enjoyed the cruise and our fellow cruisers. Thanks to our admins for all their hard work on this site and for the cruise......the logistics could not have been smoother, the itinerary enjoyable, and the company fantastic. Let's do it again next year with a bigger group!!!

Default Truly a great experience

Jan, Amity, Tony, Bernadette,

The TOTV cruise was wonderful. What a pleasure to take a cruise on the Sovereign of the Seas before it is retired and refurbished - glad I had the chance as it is a grand old ship. The crew and amenities were great, day trips very entertaining. But best of all was time spent with TOTV friends we know and meeting new TOTV friends.

I agree with V07, let's do it again next year!

Gracie, we have more pics - will try and gt them on this weekend.
