Glad to hear you're on holidays now Oceandrive, and enjoy your time in Vancouver on Thurs and Friday. We're supposed to have sunny weather here then as well and a bit warmer.....up around 18 / 20 C (upper 60's F.) As you can see, we are getting a little tired and haggard in Vancouver and are more than ready for a vacation .... [img]http://my.execpc.com/~reva/betteandjoan.jpg[/img] See you soon ...

Oceandrive, pardon my reference to your being on "vacation" in my earlier post!!! DESTCRZ, we must brush up on the "Queens English" between now and Saturday, otherwise there is going to be a great communication breakdown in this cozy, little group!

KauaiBruce Posted September 21, 2004 #157 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Aloha all, You be sure to have a great time on the Radiance. Let the crew know that they have a FULL SHIP of mostly gay boys coming on Oct 16! I will be here watching you sail in. I am also hoping some of you post some great pictures or at least send me some and I will put them on my site to get the Atlantis cruisers excited. Let me know if there are any really great waiters to ask for. We will not have assigned dinner seating (or TIMES) for our 8 days so we can ask for who we want if they have a table. I also want to know which ship show NOT TO MISS. And even MORE Important is which shows to MISS. I can be easily contacted through [email]atlantisbruce@aol.com[/email] You all be sure to get them ready for us! Aloha, Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoast1330 Posted September 24, 2004 Author #166 Share Posted September 24, 2004 [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3][color=purple]Just wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading this thread on cruise critic. It has really added to the anticipation of the cruise experience. Beav, DestCrz and OceanDrive I'm not sure if the ship is ready for us:eek: , but we will find out. I just have a bit of ironing yet to do, pack up and on our way to the pier tomorrow.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3][color=#800080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3][color=#800080]Aloha[/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3][color=#800080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3][color=#800080]Mahalo[/color][/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedson Posted October 8, 2004 #167 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I've been waiting to hear how your cruise went. Hope you liked the Radiance as much as we did the Brilliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAV Posted October 9, 2004 #168 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hey there, Ted! We're the only ones already back. Cruise ended on Wednesday and Gary had to be back to work Thursday. Ouch! Any and all sympathy appreciated! Meanwhile, everyone else is still out playing. The Canada Boys (WestCoast1330, Dam1050 and Oceandrive) are ALL still modeling grass skirts in Waikiki, those lucky devils! DESTCRZ flew to San Francisco for a few days of fun, not to mention to greet all the sailors in town for Fleet Week! Coincidence? I don't think so...... The cruise itself was lots of fun. We especially liked the itinerary, with five glorious, relaxing sea days at the beginning. The best part about the cruise however, was sailing with new (and old!) friends. DESTCRZ hosted a grass skirt and hula party that was "titalating" to say the least!!! Bob's powerful "punch" helped matters along as well. All in all, a great time. Hello to Ralph!

westcoast1330 Posted October 10, 2004 Author #170 Share Posted October 10, 2004 [font=Comic Sans MS][color=purple]We arrived back to Vancouver last night at about 11:30 after 3 days in Honolulu where we did absolutely nothing. Unfortunately we did not run into the other Canadian boys. They were probably still modeling their grass skirts at Hulas or on Queen's Surf. We, on the other hand, lightened our luggage load by leaving behind several pairs of shorts and slacks that no longer fit us, thanks to Portofino's, Windjammer Cafe and other eating venues.[/color][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][color=#800080]Thanks to Brian, Gary, Mike and Bob for a great cruise. Their hospitality was outstanding. Soiree's included a sailaway party in Brian's and Gary's aft cabin, and a farewell cocktails on the last day of the trip. And, of course, the Candlelight Indoor/Outdoor Luau with Cocktails and Puupuus in Mike & Bob's suite on the last sea day before Hilo. They had grass skirts for everyone, decorations, snacks and music. Westcoast 1330, Dam1050, Beav, Destcrz, Oceandrive, and their respective partners were there as well as Destcrz's sister-in-law; Guest appearance by Carmen Verandah and Vestal. Unfortunately the captain was unable to attend due to previous engagements.[/color][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][color=#800080]The six of us dined in Portofino's on 3 occasions and must say that it is more than well worth the extra gratuity. Alan, the manager was entertaining as ever and ensured we had good seating and great service.[/color][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][color=#800080]Now the vacation is over. We are unpacking and sorting laundry etc. Sure wish we could have brought Lili, our cabin attendant, back with us. Thanks for a great trip guys.[/color][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][color=#800080]Aloha[/color][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][color=#800080]Mahalo[/color][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][color=#800080][img]http://www.wjoc1490.com/44731328.jpg[/img][/color][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][color=#800080]Paul & Dave[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have 2 more weeks off and we know he can fly "cheap"!!!!! Maybe he and Mark put those grass skirts to work in HNL and are now working at the airport as lei greeters!!!! . . . .kinda like Wal-Mart - I've heard, never been there myself!!!![/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=4][color=#0000ff]OK boys - on to the next cruise!!!![/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=4][color=#0000ff]Mike[/color][/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KauaiBruce Posted October 11, 2004 #174 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hi, We are meeting a lot of people at the Sky Bar the first night of the the Atlantis cruise next week but none of the Radiance info online lists it. Is it still there or did it get remodeled out of existance. I found a picture of it at the following Link: [url]http://www.fratkin.com/cruises/rots/show.php?image=DSCN4356.JPG[/url] Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAV Posted October 11, 2004 #175 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hi Bruce, Yes, the Sky Bar is still there right above the Pool Bar. Hope you all have fun on the Atlantis cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
