Such a pleasure to be involved DK. Thank you so so much to you and the team. I had a blast!! 🥳

This was my 2nd DK cruise (did 2019 Australian cruise) and can honestly say both experiences tied for the best time of my life! Loved the locations and excursions but the best part?? The music! SOOOO much fun to hang with musicians that I listen to regularly and my extended family of SJ lovers. Dave, keep up the great work! Thank you!!❤

My Eighth Dave Cruise, n it still seems new!

[@AaronSantee]

Woo hoo!

[@PeachysPlace]

Dave I had the best time and cannot wait until the next cruise. The locations, the music, the shows, the parties...I had a blast. You have given me inspiration to go through all of my footage and edit it. Summer Horns was awesome and I am looking forward to the Christmas shows - you are our Silver Fox who never fails to entertain and make smile.
