Mediocre cruise, BBQ and show........ - The cruise was perhaps the best part. Left on time. The BBQ was average, cold chips and they come round once more with fried chicken and ribs. The show was OK. Need to update the photo board. I understand the history but you need new photos to demonstrate the current diversity that now attends.
