THANK YOU
Before we went on the Halcyon in early June (we had booked in April) I had no idea what this experience was. Within being on board for a few hours, my husband and I were already trying to figure out how we'd make it work to come back with our son before the Lady H took her last anniversary cruise.
To say what you have created here is magical, is an understatement. Every single one of you, from the crew services, to the folks serving the best food in the galaxy, to the incredible chemists in the lounge to the mind blowingly talented characters....every single one of you has made such incredible magic. There are facebook groups and discords dedicated to people trying to get back here for one more voyage. After calling (no lie) hundreds of times, I secured a spot on this sailing and I cried. My son's godmother dropped everything to come down from New York to join us for Vasilis' (my son) trip to space. He's been talking about it non stop since we told him (if you see a 3 and a half year old walking around the ship singing the Imperial March (complete with key change), that's my boy). He got to jump us into hyperspace today and I cannot express the joy I felt watching him live this incredible journey.
It's impossible to explain this magic to someone who hasn't seen it. It's impossible to overstate the impact of, as an adult, being given the absolute unrestricted license to "play". This is something that will live in our hearts forever. You have brought my family and I so much joy, these are memories we'll carry forever (jury is still out on if I'll start calling hundreds of times a day as soon as we disembark...so maybe we'll see you again). I sincerely hope that each of you knows how special you are and what you've brought to everyone who has had a chance to partake of this incredible experience. We see you, we know you "leave it all on the field (bridge?) and we appreciate you.
This is true Disney magic.
You made magic.
My family wishes you nothing but bright suns as you embark on your next journey. May the stars light your way, always.
With gratitude,
Constance (Katsafanas), Paul and Vasilis Eza, Megan, Cherri and Vivian.
