Highest honor yet. O.K. we have been to luncheons in the past to honor those people that have cruised more then others. Today we were invited to a luncheon and according to Stein Kruse this luncheon was for passengers with over 500 days. We were sat with the captain and his lovely wife. A position of honor for sure and we were delighted. They are a wonderful couple.
