WELCOME
A
re you ready to have the best vacation week ever? Well, we are
more than ready to present the finest music, best service and top
notch accommodations that have made The Smooth Jazz Cruise
the measuring stick, not just for music cruises, but for any music
festival in the world.
To the many, many returning guests, we offer our sincerest “welcome home”
greetings. For a dozen years and countless sailings, you have joined us at sea
for fun, camaraderie and the sharing of the best music offered. To those joining
us for the first time, it will not take you long to become a “family member” and
to join in on all that is happening on the ship.
I could take time now to list all of the artists and musicians that you will see
and hear this week, but you already know how wonderful and amazing each
and every one of them will be. I could tell you that Dane Butcher, Joey Fairchild
and Brian Simpson have been working for months putting together a fabulous
program for all of us, but you will soon see that as well.
What I would prefer to do here in this opening note is to thank each and every
one of you who have taken time from your lives and made the decision to be
part of The Smooth Jazz Cruise. We honor and respect your commitment to
this program and, on behalf of all of us at Entertainment Cruise Productions, I
want you to know that we will never let you down in any way.
Now it is time to unpack, say hello to your fellow passengers and to get this
party started! The Smooth Jazz Cruise 15.2 is officially open!
