Hope everyone got home safely. We think everyone had a great time. Pumpkin Cruise V will be January, 2017 leaving from Ft. Lauderdale (Princess). The 10 day southern Caribbean route will either feature Aruba or Barbados. If you haven't been on a pumpkin cruise, you are missing a lot of fun. Thanks, Joan and Alan Gibson

Hi Joan & Al
Thank you very much for all your work putting together this great cruise. Jane & I had a wonderful time & are looking forward to the next cruise. Not sure what date your planning, but either the 2nd or 3rd week would work very well for us.
Jane & I have been lucky enough to be able to go on every pumpkin cruise so far & we must say that we've enjoyed each one. The accommodations this time were top-notch & entertainment was very good. We also enjoyed the company of many HH in the sport. We had dinner each night with Dave & Carol Stelts, Jim & Lorie Sherwood, Jack & Sherry LaRue, & of course our dear friends & fellow Canadians Bill & Dawn Northrup. We also spent time with Pap, Joe & Sue Jutras & Eddy Z & his daughter Jennifer, along with many other pumpkin growers & friends. We'd like to thank each & everyone of them for the time we spent together. In our opinion, it was the best Pumpkin cruise to date. Thanks again Joan for all you've done to make our trip such a memorable experience. We hope more of you can join us in 2017.

Cheers,
Jane & Phil

Be sure to ask Phil about his beach stroll on St. Maarten.

I keep thinking each time we go on a cruise there is no way it could be better than the last one & yet Joan & Al keep raising the bar awesome job!!!!

We will have a good slide show with pictures from the cruise in Wilkes Barre & even some from Orient Beach :-0 but will need to see if the disclaimer "what goes on at Orient Beach stay's there" applies!!!!

I found it amazing that even in the Caribbean how many people would try to get an autograph from PAP - "Hey look every one it is Dick Wallace!!!!!"

Our dinner table rocked with Phil, Jane, Dawn, Bill, Jack, Sherry, Jim, & Lorie what a crew with Rommel & Harley just adding to the fun. Eddy & his cabin (I think he booted the Captain out of it, nice crib) spending quality time with Joe, Sue, Pap, Cathy, George, Maryann, Armand, Joe P (nice week at the tables), Al, Yvette, Hiram, Jen,.....

Can't wait till 2017 sounds like another winner with a life time of great memories!!!!

Lets just say that Orient Beach had some head-turning scenery. Some good, lots, not so good, but the drinks were cold. It sure was warm there in St Maarten, but you'd never know that by all the guys walking around at the beach. ;o)

LOL. It would have been cool to meet you on the dock. Maybe you might consider coming on the next pumpkin cruise. It's always a great time.

Ha I knew it! Lol I wish I was paying attention to the pumpkin cruise sked. It's always nice to meet fellow growers. I'll see what happens when it's time for the next one. I think my wife is already trying to talk me in to it. Lol.
