SailorJack Posted February 1, 2012 Author #451 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Is the prize a free cruise (she asks optimistically)? No free cruise (he replies sadly), but I will buy the first round should we sail together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burm Posted February 1, 2012 #452 Share Posted February 1, 2012 No free cruise (he replies sadly), but I will buy the first round should we sail together! I will print that off and keep it in my "important cruise stuff" file. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crush on cruises Posted March 3, 2013 #455 Share Posted March 3, 2013 This was the funniest thing I've ever read. We just got back from this itinerary. I can't even imagine being out there without power. I'll get nothing else done until I've read all your reviews. Thanks for sharing your hilarious sense of humor.

Seago2 Posted March 3, 2013 #457 Share Posted March 3, 2013 So of course I had to go back and read it again. I then saw myself at post 4 and 56 (and god only knows where else- I gave up) so- thanks again. 5 years of laughing my a$$ off over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailorJack Posted March 4, 2013 Author #460 Share Posted March 4, 2013 This was the funniest thing I've ever read. We just got back from this itinerary. I can't even imagine being out there without power. I'll get nothing else done until I've read all your reviews. Thanks for sharing your hilarious sense of humor.Marilu It is a great itinerary isn't it! When we lost power there were some concerned people on board. I don't think it would have been as worrisome if we hadn't already collided with another ship and had a fire aboard. It was kind of interesting however, to see people walking around wearing their life vests!:D I second that emotion! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD You are too kind. Thank-you. I've read this review at least a dozen times, and laugh just as hard each time. Absolutely priceless! :D Glad you enjoyed it. It is always fun to see an old review pop up as it gives me an excuse to reread it myself! This may have been one of my favorite ones. So of course I had to go back and read it again. I then saw myself at post 4 and 56 (and god only knows where else- I gave up) so- thanks again. 5 years of laughing my a$$ off over this. Until you mentioned it I didn't realize how long ago I wrote this. As I am sure you know, NCL sold the ship a year or so later so I can't take a reunion trip on it...which might have been fun.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailorJack Posted March 28, 2013 Author #465 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) To Alexspepa: Here are the photos you asked for of the front of the ship. I don't know why the other ones dissapeared. I have no photos of the actual collision as we were in our cabin when the actual ramming of the barge occured.:eek: By the time we got up to the deck the SUVs were starting to sink and the steel containers were awash and going down slowly. I think that there may be some video of the actual collision on the net somewhere as I remember seeing them a few years back.

WaldosPepper Posted March 28, 2013 #467 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Is it just me, or did anyone else start singing "Mack the Knife" when they saw the third photo? :p:D Edited March 28, 2013 by WaldosPepper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like welcoming home an old friend with whom most of the time spent is engaging in uproarious laughter! :D My man Louie Miller, he split the scene, babe...
