The Mount

Anyone know what day the Mount is scheduled to have her "shake-down" cruise? Should be soon because her first scheduled cruise is Mother's Day.

I doubt they will have one. They haven't had a shakedown cruise the last couple of years. It had been the first Monday in May...if my old memory serves me well!

Yes, I think this cruise is necessary as it has always been for the inspection of the ship by the state. The fact that people go along for the ride is beside the point.
