WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE
The Daily Cruise Letter/The Daily Cruise News
Rumba, salsa, cha-cha-cha!
They’re here! The Rhythm Dancers have joined our special dance-themed cruise and are shaking up Alexandra’s Dream from stem to stern. More than five hundred dancers are on board, hoping to improve their moves with some of the most talented dance instructors in the field today.
For those passengers who aren’t part of the dance group, the themed cruise still has lots to offer. Check the newsletter daily to find out times and places for dance demonstrations and competitions. Ball gowns and tuxes are the order of the day, so be prepared for a whirling kaleidoscope of color and style that will rival a Vegas show.
Is the Latin beat too hot for your blood? A sedate waltz more your style than a sultry tango? Then come up to the Polaris Lounge and dance to the gentler tunes of Glenn Miller. Don’t have a partner? Our gentleman hosts are there to glide you across the dance floor.
The only rule is to have fun! The staff of Alexandra’s Dream offers you glamour and adventure as we sail the waters of the Caribbean. We want this cruise to be one you’ll never forget.

Dear Reader,
According to marketing research, less than 10 percent of the American population has actually taken a cruise. This is especially perplexing given cruising is one of the least expensive vacations there is.
There is no other vacation experience as stress free as cruising. You board a ship, unpack your bags and get waited on hand and foot. As an added bonus, you get to visit the countries of your choice, plus enjoy exotic cuisine and world-class entertainment. No getting on and off planes and moving from hotel to hotel. Where else can you have lodging, food and entertainment inclusive in the original price? Am I starting to sound like an infomercial yet?
For almost thirteen years I worked in the cruise industry in an executive capacity. Ships were my life. Anything can happen on a floating city, especially when you have thousands of passengers on board. Believe me, there are literally thousands of stories to tell.
That said, I hope your journey was an informative one. Perhaps you’ve learned a little about cruising and become interested in visiting a new country. Perhaps your interest in cruising has just been piqued.
If you have questions about cruising, general comments, or just want to say hi, shoot an e-mail my way at [email protected]. Snail mail correspondence should be sent to P.O. Box 25143, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33320.
Happy cruising!
Romantically yours,

“CALL ME THE MOMENT that pendant is found, capisce?”
Tracy Irvine’s grip tightened around the receiver. She could tell her ex-husband was losing patience with her. This was her last chance and she needed to deliver or else.
Previously she’d screwed up badly and she might not have another chance to redeem herself. Her child’s well-being was at stake here, so she needed to play Sal’s sick game. It was the only way to get Franco back. He was her son, their son, and her reason for living.
“I will, Sal, I promise,” she said, striving to sound confident. “I won’t disappoint you this time.”
“You better not, bella, especially if you know what’s good for you. This is your last chance. There will be hell to pay if you don’t deliver this time around.” Sal’s raucous laughter resounded in her ear.
“When will I get to see Franco?” Tracy asked, trying to hold back the tears that were welling. If Sal knew she was close to breaking, he would get uglier. He had a sadistic streak to him.
“In good time, as soon as that pendant is mine.”
“I’ll get it for you. I swear I will.”
“Do that, bella,
