On the last night of our 56 day South American cruise, Rick and I were not looking forward to saying "until we meet again" to the fabulous crew onboard the Crown Princess. When you are on a ship's voyage for that long and cruise as often as we do, the crew become something more...like our family at sea.

The crew had a surprise for us that night that was special beyond our dreams. Earlier in our cruise, bartender Steve Bambrick finished his contract and left the ship to return home to England. Before he left, he donated his clean uniform shirt as the canvas. Kind words, signatures and crew badges were all over the shirt. Many of the crew got together and surprised us with the presentation. It made me cry and we felt very touched.
