ar1950 Posted April 4, 2015 #126 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Neil and John just did a Q&A in the Vista lounge on crew life. If they do it on your cruise, go see it. Very very informative and debunks some CC rumors. ............................................. Maybe you could share some of those when you get home and have more time....?

Holomoku Posted April 5, 2015 #135 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Ahoy Mark, Great "Live From", I really enjoyed reading your "Live From" versus a lot of the others. This was expecially true since I know all the crew that you mentioned. Cheers, Herb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTJSR Posted April 5, 2015 Author #136 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Ahoy Mark,Great "Live From", I really enjoyed reading your "Live From" versus a lot of the others. This was expecially true since I know all the crew that you mentioned. Cheers, Herb Hey Herb and Jackie, isn't that true? Much easier to relate. We had such a nice time in Hilo with you both. I for one sure got a taste for what island life must be like. You two are so lucky to have that big island as your backyard. We disembarked this morning and boy was that the hardest. My nail marks go from the Portofino up to deck 7's exit doors. We ran into the Skywalkers crew as we walked down the ramp, as the bar staff was working the wheel chair brigade. I hope to see you both again soon and thanks for helping make my cruise special. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
