In 2003, Acoustic Guitar magazine sponsored its first cruise. This was a cruise of the western Caribbean. What a treat! Every night was a concert featuring one of the pros: Peppino D'Agostino, Happy Traum, Scott Nygaard, David Lusterman, and David Hamburger. The finale was a concert featuring us. Great dinner conversation with other guitar players, great food, great classes, and great workshops. Every night was a jam—and a chance to meet other guitar players.

In 2004, Acoustic Guitar magazine, emboldened by the great success of the previous cruise, dared to follow up with a second cruise. This was a cruise of the eastern Caribbean. While the first cruise was a hard act to follow, the second cruise proved to be a worthy successor. Having been on the 2003 cruise, my expectations were high - I was not disappointed. The pros from the previous curise were joined by Catherine Berry and Wendy Waldman, both of whom were outstanding.

While I didn't get any pictures from the 2003 cruise (too busy playing guitar and listening to others) some others have donated have graciously donated a few photos. There is a link to more photos at the bottom. There are also some photos that I took in 2004.

2003 Barry Goold and John Williams entertain us at the final evening concert. The level of playing was amazing.
	2003 Dinner would last until 10:30, followed by Jam sessions in one of the lounges. You could hear everything from Joplin to John Hurt. Here, I play Jobim.
2003 Here are the pros. From left, David Hamburger, Scott Nygaard, Happy Traum, David Lusterman, and Peppino D'Agostino.
