We're in Labadee (in the Caribbean) at the moment. Ship is wonderful! Ocean has been like glass, weather perfect. We have our own meeting room for at-sea days, 14th deck, gorgeous view, and a nice Yamaha C3 grand. Yesterday was an at-sea day so we spent about 4 hours playing and chatting. here is a video of one of our members on the cruise playing us some tunes (A441, aka Jeremy Gloo)... Everyone seems to be having a great time, wish you were here :-) (Next time?) See Lots More Pictures Below... - Frank B.
