These pictures are from the pre-cruise meeting.  Lots of new faces, many first-time cruisers who have questions and curiosity.

What you see below is the start of some serious trouble.   Phyllis Porter is proudly displaying her nickname for the trip. As you will discover, no better nickname has ever been created for Phyllis than 'Trouble'.
Phyllis has invited all her friends for her special bus trip down to Galveston... and she has stocked up for the occasion.  By the time these people reach the pier, they will be staggering. Plus she has a sign for one of her friends.  Newly-single Dakota Wilhelm picks up his sign.

Looks like Iqbal Nagji is running a shuttle service of his own for Peggy McElroy and Joan Mastrangeli.

When it comes to Phyllis, I think of Circe, the Greek Sorceress who used wine to turn her men to swine.  Considering how looped the people riding her van get, I think it safe to consider Phyllis a modern-day Circe indeed.

I doubt our guys would appreciate being called 'swine', but there is question that Phyllis has the touch.  She gets people so drunk they stagger getting on to the ship.  I should know - I had to help one anonymous person back to their feet in the cruise terminal on this morning.

I have a rule about listing names.  I generally list them once in the early pages, then forget about it.  That's Leroy next to Alph and Trouble.
