"Very well thought out in order to give everyone as much interaction with speakers as possible. So very interesting. Far beyond TV, a book or the magazine - and that says a lot."

"It was great to be able to meet with the speakers I wanted to talk to."

"I'm not the political junkie in our family... and I had a great time!"

"A fabulous experience."

"I enjoyed the intelligence, knowledge and humor of the panelists."

"I enjoyed the rotated dinner seating - also the approachability of the speakers."

"I find the panels to be quite laid back and informal, which makes the discussions delightful!"

"Although I've been a subscriber for about 40 years, I never had the time or opportunity to meet the people behind the magazine cover. This has been a very enjoyable experience and, I hope, an eye-opener for my 18 year old son."

"We loved seeing all our friends and making new ones. This is a great group to be with!"

"We enjoyed seeing younger faces, which is so encouraging. We met some wonderful people. This cruise included a panel with such bright minds who were so obliging when we spoke with them. Kudos to the magazine and the panel members for their graciousness!"

"The programs were terrific, the panel members were great and accessible, and the atmosphere of like minded and bright people was refreshing."

"Most speakers made very sincere attempts at hospitality -- a most special plus for National Review."

"I enjoyed the ability to hear some of the finest minds in the country and the opportunity to make new Friends and renew old acquaintances."

"This cruise had the best line-up of speakers we've ever had. I was so glad to get the views on terrorism from our British speakers."

"I liked the balance or instruction, conversation, sightseeing and relaxation. It is a relief to be able to express a conservative viewpoint with others and not be put down."

"The panel discussions were the highlight! I enjoyed the cigar smokers and the cocktail parties for the accessibility of the speakers."

"The seminars were outstanding. I appreciate spontaneous discussion and tenaciously held principles without pulled punches."
