Today is the day! Welcome everykitty and doggie! All aboard on the Love Boat cruise.

We are embarking at the pier near the iconic Harbour Bridge here in Sydney for the 2008 Valentine cruise.
We would sail past the Opera House, taking in the city skyline.
We are on our way to Palm Beach situated north of Sydney, a truly spectacular stretch of coastline.
The bar is now open for drinks. Please make yourselves comfortable in the various lounges. All offer good views and those of you who wish to take advantage of the sunny weather should go up on the open deck.
Canapes are going around.....
Please enjoy the views as we head out the head of the harbour. On arrival at Palm Beach, lunch will be served.
Lunch is served.... There are salmon platter, cold meats platter, sushi and sashimi, meat balls in ricotta sauce and prawn salad..........
As dessert, please feel free to savour the valentine candies brought by my sissy Sassy for the occasion.
She has also brought gifts for everyone and, of course, Champagne for the occasion. Thanks Sassy!!!!!!
After lunch everyone can relax on the lounges or go on shore for a look around. We will be back with part 2 - the romantic dinner party for all and I will post some of the photos of the kitties and doggies who attended.
Pablo has just turned up and volunteered to take whoever wishes to go ashore and explore the soft white sandy beaches and try out the famous local burgers and shakes.
Please remember that my sissy Asta has brought along some Valentine cookies for afternoon tea and there are of course champagne flowing all day.
Those of you who are tired or want to snuggle down with their valentines can use some of the lovely pillows that Asta thoughtfully brought. The sun is warm and it's lovely on deck.

It is so nice to be in warm weather for a change. No snow here, yeah! Hey Asta is your mommie and daddie coming tonight? And I must say Stanley is so nice, I am glad that he came along. Too much fun!!
Hi Sissies, so glad you two are here! I can always count on the support of my sissies! Charlie is around too. She is fussing a bit with her dress.
Stanley, don't be shy. We girls are a bit rowdy when we get together.
The cruise should be loverly!

Hi Momo, thanks for hosting the cruise. We are going to go to our cabin and get some sleep - it is just after midnight our time. We will be back later. Happy Valentine's Day.
Tiki, Tavi, Cody and Camie
Welcome aboard, Camie's kitties! Do take a rest. It's going to be a full day tomorrow, right into the evening.
We are HERE! Everything looks wonderful! You have really out done yourself this time! Looking forward to spending the day with our favorite kitties and doggies. Thank you for hosting a Valentine's day party!
Tanti baci and buon san valentino to you!
We know we are on staff, but before get to work maybe just a litte snack...or two.
Opus and Rosoce
G'day Momo, Thanks for dropping in and reminding us about the cruise. We would have been here earlier, but 'someone' who shall remain nameless was late getting home from work to turn yhe computer on for us. The main thing is that we're here now, so we're just grab a bite or three to sustain us. Then we might gave over at the famous Palm Beach - thanks to Pablo for mentioning that 'Home and Away' was filmed there. Our Mum had no idea that Palm Beach was 'Summer Bay' - she really needs to get out more.
This is one cool harbour cruise,
Purrs
Gypsy & Tasha
Happy Vowintimes Day and enjoy the cruise party!!!
Very truly yours,
The Whiskers & Purrs Gang

What a fun time we are all having. I have been walking out on the deck to walk off some of the food that I ate too much of. It is so nice to see all of our friends and meet new ones. Such a relaxing place to have a party.

Your friend
Misty
Wow! We've heard Mom's stories about her cruise, but this is our first one! Just look at all the food! Happy Valentine's Day efurrykitty! ♥
I think I need a little more wine, that will go so nicely with the luncheon we are now havin.
It took some time to round up everykitty, but we're all here, even Fred & Holly from Italy. And we're just awwwwstruck with what a wonderful cruise this is!
Okay, we've got to mix now and wish a Happy Valentine's Day to all our friends ... hey, Fracas, quit rolling around on that salmon platter! What a klutz, can't take him anywhere.
Rocky
Happy Valentine's Day to you MoMO!
Oh wow - what a party! Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Captain Jack and Boo brought some shrimps that we caught on the way down on the Black Furrball and Dante and Pearl have some flounder too. Where should we put it? Is anyone still hungry?
Great to see so many here today, what a wonderful way to spend Valentine's day! Can hardly wait until the formal dance tonight. I hope Emil will dance with me.
Happy Valentine's Day Momo!
Wow, this is wonderful! Happy Valentine's Day to evfurry kitty, dawgie, bun, bean and evfurry species:) xxx

What a great ship and such delicious foods! Auntie Stinkie and I are having a great time taking tea on the deck and waltzing to the beautiful music.
Your friend,

Hi everyone - Happy Valentine's Day! We brought some extra Nip for the nip-tinis (we were worried you might be running low!).
This is an amazing cruise! The lap of luxury! You sure know how to throw a party Momo!
Happy Valentines Day! You kitties sure do put out a good spread- Can't pull Guy away from all the food! YUMMY!
We are having so much fun on this big boat! Roscoe is feeling a little sea sick. I am going to take him back to a cabin so he can lay down for a while. I'm not so sure it is sea sickness, it MIGHT have something to do with the tray of shrimp he ate (or should I say trayS).
Buon San Valentino everyone!
Opus (and sea sick Roscoe)
HiSissy
I'm still hewe ..I know I have to leave to go to my ski pawty, but I'm having such a gweat time!!
I did take a little snooze..all that bubbly went to my head a little , but it was wowth it..the dinner was amazing..you have the best staff..and sooo good looking!
I love evewyone!
Happy Valentines,muwahhh!
Hi, efurryone! I am back on board. Thankyou all so much for coming. It's great to see so many kitties and doggies here enjoying themselves.
The Chatzy room is open. Please check the Cat Blogosphere to click on the site and for the password.
Great to see you back Asta! Teleport in and out as you like from your ski party. Don't miss our formal dinner tonight - the menu is specially prepared for us and many of the kitties are going to dressed up to the nines for the occasion.
Hey, Roscoe, are you alright? Is there a doctor on board? Dr Rocky from Artsy Catsy and Dr Tweety are supposed to be here. Dr Tweety is quiet because her typist is away. I shall look for them and get back to you!
We will be by the Chatzy room as soon as our typist returns. She has to take youngest son to his meeting and then go buy some food. Good thing we are on this lovely cruise where we have plenty to eat and drink
I beg Dr Tweety's pardon. It should be 'his' typist. My typist is overworked and craves pardon for her mistake.
wow! this is wonderful! I wish I could stay for the whole cruise, but my mommy is sick so I have to take care of her. You have all done such a wonderful job. Mommy said I could stay for a while since I've taken such good care of her the last few days.
I wish my sweet Brandi could be here but her blogger isn't working. sigh.
Can I get anyone some snacks from the buffet?
Have a Bunderful Valentine's Day!
That's amazing! How do I get on the ship? Do they have salmon?
--JB
P.S. Happy V-Day!
Oh boys, this so much fun! And so many friends... Ruis ate himself full with the Valentine cookies and Karl, hahaha, the salmon and sushi were not safe for him.
Sassy, we are not sure Emil comes tonight, but maybe we can dance with you!?
Hey MoMo! Mommy got me an outfit for tonight! Stop by my bloggy and check it out!
I feel like I fit in better at this fantastic party.
Sorry I've been so quiet today. I always feel a bit overwhelmed among such opulence and then I overeat to "relax." So I had to walk off all that scrumptous food to make room for the fabulous dinner coming up.
Oh, do I see shrimp? Oh, no! I'm turning into Buddy and Samaritan - a bottomless pit. Maybe just a couple.

Jan's Funny Farm
I brought some fresh mixed niptinis to share. I made it from my fresh nip plant. Can I get anyone anything?
Fresh mixed niptinis? That's sounds great, Mr. Hendrix. We LOVE niptinis!!:-)

Who is Djenna?
I love cruises - it makes you feel like the world is a million miles away!
Ahoy mates and G'day to everyone here on the ship! I am a bit late but I made it and I see my Mickey is here too! How about a quick stroll out on the deck to see the surrounding sights. then I would like to have a nice cuppa tea and some delish sweets....those chocolate cat friendly kind of candies. I fear if I eat toooo many, I might pop out of my lovely red velvet dress hee hee!
SO lovely to be here with all of you this wonderful Valentines day!
Love Miss Peach

Emil I am here, I don't see why ya cannot stay for the dance tonight. Let's try not to run into Karl & Ruis OK.
Hey Emil! Not too sure it is polite to call another kitty cute when ya are at a party with somekitty that ya asked to be your Valentine for the day, wow!
Welcome, Miss Peach and efurrykitty! I have been remiss as a hostess. Too busy running around getting things organized. Plenty of food, snacks and drinks. Please enjoy yourselves!
