Linda,

yes although Michael's mom started earlier with the "real' jazz cruise, we started the second year of the smooth jazz cruises.

Michael Lazoroff was not in charge off the ship and there were some problems although the music was great
The next year he got rid of the bad partner and promised to fix all the mistakes
We followed along for about 10 years until my business grew that I just can't enjoy them anymore
when we stopped going I thought they were almost perfectly ran and there's a lot of moving pieces beside the ship
I know a couple of the smooth jazz musicians also play on your cruise (Eric Marienthal, Marcus Miller)
