Rosie, thank you, what was your wish had been ours too and now a reality because of all of you. Our family now has a place to vacation and be ourselves in a loving, diverse, safe and fun environment.
It was almost magic when it didnt look like the sun was going to shine for the parties and poof out it came, couldnt have asked for more! Just tells you how blessed our ship was.

As for the tidal wave, all I remember was there was a rumor milling that Melissa was going to show up at the Spinnaker, I literally crawled up the stairs around 11pm (we were one floor below the Spinnaker) to ask someone if she showed up, then crawled back down. Not like I could have sat thru a set anyways!

Thank you again and see you next summer! (already working on shedding a few pounds seeing as that trip involves a beach and I dont want to look like something we were looking for on this trip!)

Hey Ro

This was our first cruise of any kind - and it was fabulous! You and all the R Family Team sure know how to do things right. We don't have any kids, but sure got our kid fix during the week - what a thrill to see so many beautiful families of all kinds...

Jill was thrilled to get her pic (http://www.wavejourney.com/GLBT.html) taken with you.

Can't wait to do the next R Family Cruise in February!

Thanks for the brilliant entertainment and to all of you for making "The Gay Love Boat" possible.

Cheers!

Yo, Ro! Thanks for sharing your wife with us ... and for everything else you did/do to make that beautiful week possible. To me, the crowds just meant more people to meet, more people sharing this astonishing experience. And it was the best-managed week from a logistical sense I've ever experienced. You guys ROCK!

Thanks for everything Rosie. You were very generous to share as much of Kel with us as you did on "your" family vacation. I enjoyed meeting so many new people and making as many friends as I did. Thanks for taking your pic with so many of us including me with my disco "fro". You are a great sport. I look forward to getting Parker his "chain gang" photo from the pool as soon as I finish sorting all 900+ photos. I hope to post the link over the weekend to all my pics.

Sincerely,
Joann

:D Ro, What an amazing journey-we cannot wait for next year. Your wife was so incredible, with the sweetness of her spirit. On the next the last night I met you as well in the lounge. For as much of a celeb. as you are you were so real and too sweet-thanks.
Susan Powter was so much an inspiration with her classes-and I have cont. with her classes on DVD. In about I month I will be so flexable that I will be able to kiss my own butt:eek: Susan also is an a spirit of light in this darkening world. I also cannot say enough good about Esera. Our sons played on a regular basis, and he was so nice and gracious.
We met so many great people on the cruise. I cannot imagine what it would take to put this together. Kudos to all the rfamily staff and NCL. I felt with the great weather and all of the fun, that God was wrapping his arms around us, and especialy the team and saying" well done kids, here is my gift to you" Thank you so very much-love ,peace and light.

Thank you again Rosie, Kelly, Gregg, Rachel, Colleen, Jackie and all the RFamily Team!

I asked for a blurb in the daily freestyle to meet other Forum writers, not only did you give it space, but Rachel showed up!

We are the crazy lesbians with the door decorations..I came out of my room and ran into someone looking at it...started talking and found out it was Jackie!

Can't wait for next summer..what an itinerary!

[Jonbaton]

Ro,

You, Kelli, Gregg, and the entire R Family team got a good pitch, and just KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!

I'm so proud to be a part of it and I can't wait until next year!
