homeinboca Posted August 22, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 22, 2014 That is very sad news. Joe was on the first European Cruise we did a few years ago and really enjoyed his lectures. He was on the loudspeakers as we sailed into Venice for the first time - something we will never forget and I can still hear his voice. He seemed to always be on the pier when we were getting off the ship to greet people. Our condolences to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam in CA Posted August 22, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Oh, no! I'm so sorry to hear this. I sailed with Joe several times and he was amazing! Best port lecturer on Princess. He used his own photos to tell you about a port and gave honest shopping tips. I've had so many port lecturers who used Internet research and stock photos, but not Joe. He showed photos of himself and/or his wife at different sites and he seemed to know everything there was to know about the port. He will be greatly missed. :( Damn. That's all I can say.
