My husband mentioned to one of his customers (we own a resturant in NYC) that we would be onboard the Millie the following week. When we arrived at the terminal and were checking in, the clerk left for a moment and returned with the social hostess. She introduced herself and led us right on to the ship. From there on we were VIP'd. Sat with the Capt. at dinner and I also was invited to tea with the Capt. wife. Don't know why he did this for us, but it sure was nice.
