Yes, how was the dinner exhausting? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Hi Chiliburn, thanks for the info on tthe single meet and a lunch, will try that.

Ok, an on the Bearing Sea Crab Fishing, what month is a good time to go for the eagle feeding photo ops? Went last Sept, an saw two eagles, the guys on the boat said, they were somewhere else at that time. Thanks.

Hi Crew News, Next month will be goin on the Brilliance to Alaska, an haven't decided on the tours as yet, but here goes. In Haines, there's a nature & wildlife photo tour, an in Ketchikan there's a photo safari, thats 25% off. Last yr was on the Crown princess, an took the Skagway photo tour, an it just didn't do much for me. Can you help? Have tried emailing you but no luck. Thanks.

Hey, LAkaye, will be sailin in a few weeks on the Brilliance an will ask the Maitre'D for a table with other singles. Was on the Crown last yr an at a different table every night, didn't like that, one night was the odd person, two couples for dinner.

Hey I like that, had to laugh!!!!

Hi, tried twice already an nada, so... guess I cin wait.

Hey Papcap38, when are you sailin on the Brilliance? Will be goin on May 26th an can't wait. Can't checkin cuz got a flipphone, an at the moment, my name is "Willa have to wait," til I git to the ship. Hey but thats ok to.

Hi guys, don't know if pilots who bring the ships in has ever been asked before, so here goes. As those who are in the know, what does the pilots day consist of, as to bringing in the ships, does a pilot after docking, do they go back to the office, to work some more, then come back to the ship to sail out, an when they depart from Hwy 19, down there on deck 2, can passengers watch as they board the pilot boat, then when they are on the ship, what do him & the captain talk about, business I'm sure, besides the pilot & captain, who are all on the bridge, are there any women who are pilots, don't worry am not gonna apply for the job, don't think you would want me as a pilot. What are the benefits & pitfalls, an after bein a pilot, would you change jobs, an go back to workin in the stores, or any other job? Got to thinkin about the pilot today, an thought maybe someone here would know. Thanks. Virginia

Hi guys, everytime goin to alaska, take the bioculars. My dad brought a pair home from the WW2, they were made in 1943 an they are awhole better than the ones today.

Hey thanks guys for the info. Will have to look into them.

Hey guys, was wonderin what good places there are to eat at? Will be there on the Brilliance in a few weeks, an would like to check those places out. Have eaten at the Burger Queen & Tracy's crab shack, an they have good food. Thanks. Virginia

Yup, they are everwhere. Recommend binoculars, a big must have.

Have been on that ship twice, an really like the smaller ships.

Hey I remember Captain Bang, bang.

Had a shipshape t shirt, then it wore out. Had to buy a yellow shirt to wear under it.

Hi, forgot to mention, the midnight buffets, costume party, waiters paradein around after dinner every night. Alot has changed, don't like them mega ships they now got.

Yup still remember that ship. I'm one of those who was on the Song of America, when the ship caught fire on 11-8-88, got a free cruise after the cruise had to be cancelled & went back to Miami. Saw Cozumel twice, the rest of the ports didn't see. After the fire, the next night, all the guests referred to the ship, as Flame of America an some suggested havin a reunion cruise, but nothin ever came of it. Still remember the fire, no one was hurt, seems like a long time ago, now.

Yeah Banditoo, was wonderin the same thing.

Looked at the tour through rcl cruise line, an its $$$. Not sure if I would do that. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hey good for the Vision, have been on that ship a couple of times, wish they would come back to L A.

Hi, well haven't cruised on NCL so can't tell you about them, did sail once on the Nieuw Amsterdam, the cruise to Alaska was great, but the ship & service was just hum. As for Rcl, its the best, can't say enough about them, will be goin to Alaska this summer on the Brilliance. Been to Alaska 10 or 12 times, just can't seem to get enough of cruisin up there.

Hey, I don't mind bein in the slum section!!
