Review summary

Our ship rescued two Costa Rican fishermen lost at sea. I watched the rescue for 3 hours. Also I got a close look at the 2 men en route to the medical clinic. The next day, as we were returning from Jamaica, I recognized them and went over to shake their hands. (They were being escorted off the ship) It was a moment of pure good will that I will remember the rest of my life. Also, on a lighter note, we loved the Caribbean Gold machine!!

An hour to get off the ship? I think it was not RC's fault. It seems to me that the Goverment shutdown caused only 2 or 3 customs windowns to be open.
