About 40 years ago I worked with a woman whose boyfriend had been a harbor pilot until he missed his jump during a storm and drowned.

Won't do a mega ship and won't do a short cruise. Doing an 80-day cruise this year with about 1,300 others.

I'm really enjoying your reports on the various stops as I'll be visiting many of the same places later this year, also on the Amsterdam. My one question is how you're getting your local currency -- ATM, ship or some other way!

Enjoy the rest of your fabulous cruise.

Going through security in San Diego a few years ago, the security person pulled a large steak knife from the handbag of the woman in front of me. She was pulled aside and I don't know what happened to her or why she would have a steak knife with her.

Also, I live in the U.S., mostly in big cities, and, in my 70+ years, have never seen a gun.

Same during a 45-day cruise on the Maasdam in 2011. There were also several crew members who had bikes.

I always tell my friends, who don't understand how I could cruise alone, that I'm not rowing across the ocean by myself. There are always great people around. I only do long ones and always have a wonderful time.

Not on the long (30+ days) on HAL. The older folks have the time and the money.

They will, but since I like meeting new people, I always want a large table. I've done a table for two by myself for breakfast in the main dining room though.

I do know what it feels like, and that's why I moved to Arizona.

I did this cruise, though not exactly the same islands, several years ago on the Statendam. Unforgettable!!!

Geographically interesting.

Indonesia is a country consisting of many thousands of islands, of which Bali is one.

What's the name of the hotel across the street? I'm thinking of doing the same you did.

I got up at 5:00 am several years ago. Just threw on a robe to watch the sun rise on deck, and was amazed at how many people were already up.

First one on the Rotterdam in 1967. Most fun one on the Stefan Batory (Polish Ocean Lines) in 1976 -- a shot of vodka 15 cents!!!

It's scheduled to happen in five to 20 years.

Best: Indonesian food and oysters

Worst: nothing.

Mine was on the Statendam, which is out of service, but, yes, I loved the cruise and will likely do it again.

I did this cruise two years ago and celebrated my 70th birthday on Nuku Hiva. Loved all the stops on this cruise.

I thought you received them while still in the cruise. That's how it went with me on HAL.

Fanning Island -- a must see place.

I went to those islands three years ago and no shots. Also ate in local restaurants, including goat.
