Reviews from our last cruise

 

 

Hi Joe!

Thanks for the great job of organizing the cruise!!  I had a great time. 

I had such a great time that I'm now going through post cruise withdrawls 

I may have to move my Kenya trip next year either up or back a few months so I can do the next cruise.

Hugs

Hi Joe,  

Robert and I wanted to thank you for the recent Gay Cowboy & Country Western Cruise. 

We had a great time and met some fantastic people.  We also really appreciated the upgraded cabin that we received from you. 

We both agreed that the events were a lot of fun and group events were well organized.  We would definitely like to participate in future events

 

Again, thanks for the fantastic vacation experience.
