This issue is dedicated to the Bon Voyage Cruise and Skate hosted by the Detroit Rhythmic Rollers

This issue will recap a week's worth of fun and excitement that skaters experienced along Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's "Mariner of the Seas.

In May 2004, about one hundred skaters joined the Detroit Rhythmic Rollers on a history-making journey from Port Canavaral, Florida through the Caribbean and back. For those who were not able to attend, take this opportunity to visit some of the places and see some of the things that the skaters experienced. Journey with us on a day by day recap of some of the events, take a tour of the ship, read about some bloopers and unexpected mishaps and then make plans to attend the next Bon Voyage Cruise and Skate in May 2006.
