A sun-kissed tan skinned named Vicky is outside with few plants in various planters and pots on an unscreened, raised, wooden deck. The background is full of the trees and shrubs. Vicky fixes dark green leaves on her tall plant in a big blue resin planter. Vicky wears a pair of eyeglasses, short dark brownish-gray wavy hair down. She has a white logo on the front of her black shirt with black shoe-laced ties on her shoulder sleeves. She also wears a dark gray short. Few seconds later, a light skinned man named David walks toward Vicky, and then he pats on Vicky’s shoulder to get her attention. David wears a navy blue shirt with short sleeves and a paint splatter blowout cargo short. David has a low, gray ponytail hair tied on his back. The video angle is aimed downward slightly on Vicky and David in the back of a house on a deck.]

David: You really look beautiful in this outfit. I can’t decide what to wear. What’s special about this?

Vicky: Ah, I am thinking about… David is curious about Vicky’s outfit as he is touching and feeling her shoulders.

Vicky: Pats on David’s chest gently to get his attention. Ok, I am thinking about the PTU cruise on August 20-27, 2022! Six actors will be involved in the PTT’s PT play.

David: Who are the six actors in this play?

Vicky: Oh, Okay! Vicky names each actor as she uses David’s fingers to count and list the actors. 1) David from US, 2) Vicky from US, 3) Lorie from US, 4) Stéphanie from Belgium, 5) Romain from France, and 6) Yash from US.

David is surprised and thrilled about the actors and actresses listed by Vicky. He gave two high five hands to Vicky excitedly for a few seconds

[Video description: (PTU LOGO ID: Bottom and right corner. A folded cane with black handle, green main shafts and black bottom shaft. The black bottom shaft has white Braille dots for “PTU” with ™. The white rolling ball tip has white map of the world.)A sun-kissed tan skinned female named Vicky relaxes on her dark gray patio chair outside as she pets her cat with her hand gently. Vicky wears her black sunglasses, short brownish-gray wavy hair down, and a violet shirt with short sleeves. Vicky’s long-haired cat lays relaxedly on her lap with a long tail wagging slowly. The fur colors are mixed white, brown, dark brown, and black. Few seconds later, another light skinned Latina female named Yash joins to sit on another dark gray patio chair and pets Vicky’s cat with her hands. Yash wears a violet shirt with short sleeves and a white ILY Hand sign on the top left of her chest area. Yash wears her sparky dark framed eyeglasses, long caramel brown wavy hair down on her back, and white beads hoops earrings. The video angle is aimed downward slightly on Vicky and Yash in front of a house on a patio.]

Yash: How are you doing?

Vicky: This cat is Jamal. He is 15 years old.

Yash: Awww, sweet!

Vicky: Yes. Yes.

Vicky: Pats on Yash’s chest excitedly. I am thrilled that I am involved in the PTT’s PT play because it will be the first time for the PT play on PTU cruise! I am looking forward to it!

Yash: When?

Vicky: It is on August 20-27, 2022. This year!

Yash grabs Vicky’s hands toward the arm of the patio chair, and then Yash drums her hands onto the arm of the patio chair. Vicky follows and drums her hands along with Yash’s hands as they are very excited. And then, Vicky uses her cat’s paws to drum together. Yash notices that the cat is drumming together with them, and then Vicky and Yash laugh.

Protactile Universe (PTU) would like to express sincere gratitude to all the guests who booked their staterooms with them. PTU needs to share with everyone who are interested in joining the Mardi Gras funship that all staterooms at lower prices are SOLD OUT. This means that the remaining staterooms are currently at a higher price and the prices will continue to increase as time goes on. PTU strongly encourages anyone to make your reservations with a deposit in order to lock the desired stateroom price. PTU looks forward to spreading PT waves with you soon!

(NOTE: DOUBLE OCCUPANCY is a cruise’s term used to book a stateroom BUT each person pays the same price for a stateroom. For example, if a stateroom costs $900 then you pay $900 and your friend pays $900. IF you prefer to be alone, you still are responsible to pay DOUBLE meaning $900x2=$1,800. This is a general cruise’s policy.)
