Good morning Kirsten, just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful evening last Sunday aboard the Dixie Queen. From start to finish it was simply excellent. From the reception drink onwards things went extremely smoothly. All the crew, bar staff and waiting staff were friendly, efficient and nothing was too much trouble for them. In particular Stephane was simply superb, liaising frequently to ensure our wishes were met. The quality of the meal was excellent - by far the best for several years. Stephane also arranged for the tables to be moved quickly at the end of the meal (and that those tables were fed first) so that the maximum amount of dancing time was had by all - there was slight confusion here as he suggested moving the six from the dance floor rather than four from there and four from the stage as we had discussed but when I explained he was more than happy to comply with what you had suggested. All in all it was so much fun and parents, pupils and the staff who attended were unanimous in their praise, disappointed that it seemed to go so quickly and so wanting more. I only have one tiny criticism and that is that it appeared as though the deck had been hosed down just prior to us boarding and this meant that it was a) extremely slippery to walk on and b) several quite large puddles had accumulated which led to several of the ladies' dresses getting wet right at the start of the evening. Indeed these puddles were still there at the end of the night. Perhaps if the deck is hosed down it could then also be swept to get rid of the puddles. Thanks to you and the whole team for your organisation and again to all those who were part of another spectacular event.
