We recommend a cruise to any company looking for a reunion idea. Everyone who went considers it probably the best vacation they have ever had. Especially the most time to just share time with company mates since graduation.

We had a D3 Reunion Cruise to Alaska the last week in July. The night before we embarked we were joined by Kris Davis, Brian Davis' widow, for Dinner and a memorial for Brian. This was two weeks after his death.

A case each of wine and champagne were specially labeled for us and brought on board with special permission by the cruise line.
