Live from Solstice to Alaska on May 8th 2014...

I have cruised with Elena7seas, and regularly chat with her on another board. It's my understanding that she has been under the weather, since returning from this cruise. I'm certain that she would regret any inconvenience caused by not being able to answer your questions.

 

Sorry she is sick!

We had no way of knowing that, though, so cut us a little slack, please.

Soo... I'm guessing there aren't going to be any questions answered considered the OP's last posting date was 2ish weeks ago? :(

 

Hi Amy, the original poster has been sick for the past 2 weeks:(

It is hard to "read tone" on the net......I think she was just trying

to explain why the OP hasn't been back.

 

She has been sick for about 2 weeks:(

I beg your pardon???

 

I was simply pointing out why the OP wasn't here. And, she is a VERY nice person. I'm certain that she would want to answer the questions on this thread, since she went to all the trouble of starting it.

Oh boy, I feel like I started something here that I didn't mean to start! I'm sorry for that, and I'm sorry to hear she is sick - I had no idea. Of course her health takes precedence. I hope she gets well soon!

You didn't start anything.

I think Lois is right - it's hard to hear "tone" on the net and so some of us took offense when none was meant.

 

We ALL hope the OP is feeling better!

I wonder if we will ever get answers to the questions sought

We were on this cruise also. Started sailaway in the Hemisphere lounge. Ran out the door to take pics as we went under the Lionsgate bridge. It was raining very much, Got pics as the front end went under, and then some long shots at the funnels. Wasn't going to race down the wet deck to funnels. Will try to post later

front of ship

 

funnels end

 

I assume they dropped them down the night before they came into port, and raised them back up again later.

[wwcruisers]

WOW -- that last shot is amazing! Looks like the retracting funnels just barely cleared the bottom of Lionsgate! :cool:

Things happen outside of this site (life).....so maybe someone else

who has sailed Solsitce more recently can answer your questions.
