Emperor Norton Posted March 22, 2015 Author #26 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I feel sorry for the people with early flights today. It seems two rooms decided they didn't need to meet with CBP. Needless to say CBP hasn't felt the need to clear the ship. Good guess on the Captain. ;) Sent via squirrels and a rotary phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbsilk Posted March 22, 2015 #28 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Looking forward to seeing the Emperor again and meeting all the new folk. Emperor was right about the hungry mozzies here in the island. Looking forward to losing them and bidding farewell to the little sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denver united Posted March 22, 2015 #29 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Speedy says that they'll be on until Rome/Cit. Is Lorraine Caruana, the chief purser still on the Legend? We were on the Norway cruise last summer with Captain Dag and Lorraine and I am wondering if she is staying with Seabourn. Thanks for checking.

Chairsin Posted March 23, 2015 #30 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yippee! Just heard from a friend on board that the surprise Captain is indeed Erik Anderssen -- complete with hammer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martita B. Posted March 24, 2015 #31 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I also heard from friends aboard the Legend ~Captain Anderssen is aboard as a passenger. Not sure as to his wife being with him ~she's a lovely lady. MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Norton Posted March 26, 2015 Author #32 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) The Captain is correct. He has family joining in Funchal. While I haven't seen the actual hammer I have seen a few pitchers of the hammer go by. Sail away from St. Thomas was interesting. I have never before seen a minor seated at the SkyBar on Seabourn (or later seen a minor jumping from hot tub to hot tub...I'm sure that was supervised:rolleyes:). So far the seas have been smooth and the weather cooperative. We've already had the Block party (please return this idea to Regent ASAP), and the rock the boat/deck BBQ. While I think the rock the boat and deck BBQ are usually done later in the cruise, the powers that be decided to do them while the weather and seas were cooperative rather than take a chance on Neptune later in the cruise. Thankfully there have been no stow-away mosquitos. I heard an amusing Captain Dag story - supposedly on part of a cruise the swimming pool was made off limits to guests so he could use it for a live lobster storage tank for lobsters he bought for a crew party. That would've been interesting to see. The chief purser is Vas. We have been invaded by bug eyed monsters. On several occasions Nigerian shrimp have made an appearance.

Emperor Norton Posted March 26, 2015 Author #35 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Once again unsupervised kid in the hot tubs (mom was reading a book looking in the opposite direction...) A few small changes I've noted since my last cruise on the Pride: The Restaurant no longer has a theme for lunch - this is left for the Verandah. So far IMO this is a good thing. Also pre-lunch in the Skybar they now pass around actual tortilla chips with salsa (bland imo), sour cream and guacamole (again bland imo). This to me is a step in the right direction as when they had the Mexican themed lunch in the restaurant the tortilla chips were just fried pita and guacamole was some kind of alien concoction. We now also have consume in the SkyBar becuase a passenger swore up and down that Seabourn and Regent used to have such a thing (I've never seen it on either - a past Seabourn cruiser with 14+ years hasn't seen it either) so :confused: A lot of people expecting coffee were very surprised:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martita B. Posted March 28, 2015 #36 Share Posted March 28, 2015 When Captain Leif Rodhal was Master of the Pride we always had a table set at the Sky Bar (between the fire doors) with an large urn of beef or chicken bouillon ~the bouillon was served in Seabourn mugs. This was a custom on the old ocean liners. Martita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Norton Posted March 29, 2015 Author #39 Share Posted March 29, 2015 This morning started out grey, wet and a bit choppy. By the time of the fun fair the sun had come out and the seas had calmed. At least enough for the child to get mommy drunk (er that is the 8 year old was allowed to essentially play beer pong except her mother was drinking the shots) Spell check isn't what it could be. It's been an interesting cruise so far. The mother of the child is illicitly obtaining drinks for a certain staff member that's been paying attention to her. Which was especially amusing when the child called the bar directly ~ 2300 hrs... Aside from the bad news re: entertainment staff (and the guest capt leaving in BCN) staff has been mostly excellent. The food has been good. The biggest issue aside from anything mentioned previously is that the cruise seems to be going by too quickly. Perhaps we can drift at sea for another week or so...

lincslady Posted March 29, 2015 #40 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The mommy and child outfit sound intriguing (and quite fun for those who are not on board, I suppose). Is there a daddy there as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Norton Posted March 29, 2015 Author #43 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Christina and Speedy - yes. Erik I believe is disembarking in Barcelona along with his family members that will be joining in Funchal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
