My Oxygen Blue/W Cooper was built on 4/22 and is now on the high seas. Shuffleboard anyone?!?!

I'm right along side you. My Sparkling Silver MC was completed on 4/25 and is now on the Courage bound for NY! I'm like a little kid, waiting for Santa to bring me my present!

Did anyone get a look at the buffet?

I know, you're right. Funny thing is the Owners Lounge (and ASK MINI) as of this morning still had me "awaiting transport." Imagine my shock to find out that I not only had a ship but had been at sea for several days!!!

A bit off-topic, but interesting observation - this is almost the exact route the Titantic took - leaving Southampton to NY - as a matter of fact it looks like they almost sail right over the wreckage site....thank goodness there are no ICE BERGS in the way.

Land Ho!!
