Shelley Kemp: I have been on other cruises but none compares to the Malt Shop Memories Cruise! The ports of call are breathtaking, the entertainment and lineup of famous entertainers are amazing, and they are all so personable and friendly! The entire ship relives the ’50s and ’60s era that we all loved so much! From poodle skirts and the Fonz to a great Motown show, its a blast! Ever since the first one, I was hooked and will never miss another one! I’m already booked and can’t wait until November! Lifestyles After 50 • June 2013 • page 26
Madeline Adkins: To those of you who are thinking about it or just signed up, we do it every year. It’s like a week back in time and the best week of our year. I’m counting the weeks ’til we set sail again. Elizabeth Baer Smith: I have booked my fourth Malt Shop Memories Cruise! I just can’t stop. It’s such an amazing time, I look forward to it every year! The memories I have made over the years with these cruises will stick with me for a lifetime. I have made so many friends who continue to book as well, that each year it’s like a reunion. We dance, sing, laugh.
