catl331 Posted July 11, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Does anyone know what HAL ship Copper is working on since he retired? He moves around. If you look at the end of his signature block you'll see: *Maasdam 11/02/10-01/17/11 *Statendam 04/15/11-06/19/11 *Volendam 06/22/11-08/31/11 After the Volendam he joins the Maasdam in Rome mid-Nov for a T-A, and then leaves her mid-Jan 2012.

Himself Posted July 11, 2011 #3 Share Posted July 11, 2011 The last I heard he was on the Statendam but my information is obviously dated. He is now apprently doing the inside passage out of Vancouver on the m.s. Volendam. I hope to sail with him someday but the odds are against it.

Cruising-along Posted July 11, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 11, 2011 It looks like we'll just miss him, we'll be on the Maasdam in late April 2012. Would love to meet him some day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenseasnomad Posted July 11, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Somehow I missed that Cooper John was working on HAL ships. How fabulous for him. Can anyone tell me what his job entails? All I know is I've missed his posts for months and was thinking that either I don't read the threads he posting on or he just isn't posting anymore.

He posts a little when he's working a cruise, but mostly between cruises. Since he has 2.5 months off after the Volendam you'll probably see a lot of his posts starting early September. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenseasnomad Posted July 11, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Thanks. How awesome for him! But is he allowed to have his wife with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted July 11, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 11, 2011 But is he allowed to have his wife with him?He told my DH in Apr that "this time she is going to join me on at least two one-week cruises", but didn't say which ship(s). Also between 8/31 and 11/10 they're going on a HAL cruise as passengers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 12, 2011 #9 Share Posted July 12, 2011 We sailed with 'Copper John' on Maasdam in December and it was great finally meeting him. He seems very happy with his 'second career.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamaracboy Posted July 12, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Guess I'm late to this party. Any way, I hope John reads this and receives my congratulations on his retirement and my Bravo's for arranging a dream 2nd career. I would so love to coincide with him on any DAM ship. John, all the best, Reuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pulled the old "Hey your shoe`s untied" trick on me and snatched several of my french fries when I looked down. Just a warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjpabl Posted July 12, 2011 #13 Share Posted July 12, 2011 We're heading on the Volendam in mid August. Truly enjoyed reading all his posts as I researched Holland American Cruises. We will be glad to say hi and thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
