The sea voyage is more than an adventure; it is a rite of passage, as decisive as a wedding. It marks the end of the old self and the birth of the new.

And now it’s time for something you all know is Lifecruisers signature: open the Dom Perignon!
CHEERS to Leanne, that did all this refreshing of our ship – and for YOU all my dear cruisers that makes the time here at the Lifecruiser ship so enjoyable!
Please take some drinks and food and mingle with all the others 
♥Congratulations to Renny that came in third in the Weblog Awards 2007 category “Best European Blog” with 871 votes and Lifecruiser only in the 8th place with 112 votes. At one point it looked like Renny would win, so it were a thrill, but no…
I’m very proud over my votes and gives all my supporters a lot of hugs (kramar) for supporting me all this time – and all other time too! You’re noted in the Captains logbook with extra stars 
We have some cruisers away right now, that will make more detailed cyber cruise reports later: Tor in Miami, Gattina in Egypt, Chase in the Philippines and now Maribeth soon is going cruising the Panama Canal for two weeks. Meanwhile they may write something from time to time, so make sure to check in at them too see what they have been up to!
A little taste of coming cyber cruises, not necessary in this order: Portugal, Egypt, Spain, Hunt for the Secret Spa, Greece, Denmark, Germany, Miami, Panama Canal, Philippines, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, LC Blogwarming Party 3, and Scotland.
And if I know my cruisers right, you’ll continue to fill up with a lot of new cruises along the way, so this really is a never ending story!
Let the cyber cruises continue, the Dom Perignon flood and the giggles last for ever 
I think I will do a post around December once Odd is here and since they celebrate Christmas here a bit unique.

Loved the Dom and I ate way too much food. It was delicious, and my compliments to the chef. I had a grand time. Have a wonderful cruising weekend.

Oh the lobster looks so good! I haven’t had lobster in forever it seems. You sure know how to put on a party as we all know! And with the Dom what kind of party would it be! You know for me a glass is never enough, wheres my bottle?

cruising is the way to travel… you can never go wrong taking a cruise, no matter where it takes you. i personally like the ones that go to the caribbean or any tropical islands.
Rest assured dear cruisers, that there is enough of Dom, we’ve filled up the cargo room!!!!
Cheers for the upcoming exciting cruises!
*raising my glass and nodding to each one of you*
Ahhh…. lovely Dom….
Let the giggles begin!!!!
A wonderful new look! Not to mention wonderful food. Fajitas, mmmm, shrimps, lobster, lovely. Ermmm, what’s for pudding?
Nothing would keep me away from this party:)

I guess too many glasses of Dom are actually too many, lol
(The system was giving me a hard time just because of that and showed me an error…)
Off to get a cup of tea! or water, whatever.
Maybe I’ll seat next to the beautiful young lady on the footer, she most likely attracts the handsome young men
.: mar’s last blog post..photo hunt: classic
Ah, so it’s there all the men are tonight!!! I just wondered…. *giggles*
Well, she is a beauty isn’t she? That’s so we can trap all the male bloggers and keep them here…. *giggles*
This is a fantastic event. Dom should given to you and Mr Lifecruiser in cases.
I’m sorry you did not hit the “pallan” (gold-silver-bronze). I did my best. Renny even was on TV, did you know?
I’ll post something from to day in Miami Beach in a couple of minutes. But it’s only a touch of the surface. From the Art Deco District. Needs more research. We are going to a party to night. Me, wikt all Ingelins friends here.
hugs
Ignore this, I’m just blabbing of too much Dom, testing my system a bit.
Have some more food, there is plenty left!
Welcome Tor, so you’re on double party tonight then? *giggles*
Nice to see you anyway and I’m sure you will have lot of fun with Ingelin and her friends! (Let’s see which one is the most festive of you
*Honking the Ship horn*
AiAi Captain – I’ve just landed and home from Milan and since I’ve heard roamers about the new Ship, I checked in right way.
The most wonderful, beautiful, tasteful cyber cruise ship I’ve ever seen – a candy for the eye – congrats.
I feel honored to be one of the A-Team crew and are looking forward to new parties and adventures landings all around the world.
This lovely lunch was a very good starter – you know I love craw fish and what could be better to drink see food with than the Dom Perignon – fill up my glass Captn!
Thank you for congratulating me – it has been an adventures week and I am overwhelmed – too tired to post about it tonight, so It’ll have to wait until tomorrow.
Cheers

I’ve not slept anything last night, just a couple of hours in the day, so if I’m acting or talking strange – it’s not the Dom
…or If I sudden disappear – you can either find me under the table or in the cargo room where all the Dom is…. *giggles*
Boy, you sure know how to throw one great party – excellent food and beverages! Looking forward to the days ahead now too!
