Karen Duquette took time off from RVing and went on a cruise
on the Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas,
a line dance cruise with friends
October 29, 2011
for 7 nights

Below: The bus taking Karen Duquette and other line dancers from Broward to the Port of Miami. Lee Duquette stayed in Florida, where the two RV Gypsies always spend a few of the winter months.

Below: Since this is a Halloween cruise, Karen Duquette started the trip off by wearing one of her many Halloween-starter-outfits. Not only did her headpiece light-up and blink colors, but she had a "duck-quacker"  to help the party begin.

Karen Duquette roomed with her friend from Sweden, Monica Ekedahl. Karen brought some Halloween decorations from home with her for the door to their room.
