I know Doreen Speckman used to do quilt cruises. I think Katie Pasquine Masapoust, Eleanor Burns??? I have a friend who went on a Doreen Speckman quilt cruise, had a blast but Doreen was a blast anywhere she was. I have gone on a retreat with Mary Ellen Hopkins and Kaye Woods used to work with her, both are fun. I do think the general concensus of cruises was fun, fun, food, fun and then quilting.
