Can you tell me who the Captain is of the Golden right now?

Thanks

The Captain of the ship is Captain David Calabrese

We are headed back to Calif. This is our 1st sea day. It was a bit rocky last night but not bad. Overall I'd say the ship has been very smooth sailing. I'll start with the ports and weather. Hilo,,,was overcast all day but very pleasant. Honnolulu was in the 80's and hot on the balcony with scattered showers a few times but had a down pour about 5 pm. Kauai,,,was perfect weather,,,overcast at times but temps were great. Maui,,,,perfectly clear all day few clouds and a few sightings of whales from the ship. I personally was very delighted with all the weather conditions.

Princess has cancelled all the helicopter tours due to the recent accident on Molokai. I'm glad because,,I've known for years how dangerous the helicopter flights are and it can be very risky. The food on the ship has been ok but I'm comparing it to last year and it was better last year overall. They do change chefs every 6 mos or so. The service has been excellant as always no complaints. The desserts are still "To Die For". Aloha for now!!!

I have read recent reports on CC that lava is again flowing into the ocean between Hilo and Kona. Just wondering if your Captain might route your ship by the volcano flow. We're hoping that might happen also on the December 21st cruise?

Sorry but the Captain did not follow that route. It would have been nice to see it. The last 3 years they have not taken that route.

Day 3 at sea. The weather has finally getting very nice. You can comfortably sit out on your balcony in t-shirts. Definately getting much nicer. Low clouds. The waves are a bit up but not bad. I have only seen 2 kids on board. Our room steward is leaving the ship in Honolulu. His contract is up. Not sure if others are going as well. This is our 3rd cruise to Hawaii in the last 3 yrs and I haven't seen any changes, (which is good) other then the weather, the first few days. Aloha for now!!!

Celest1022: Thanks for your comments. We also will be on the Dec. 21st cruise.

If you get a chance, would you find out who is in the Wheelhouse. Will the same group

be on our cruise?

Thanks in advance, 11 more days for us.

HAVE A FUN CRUISE AND WIN ALOT...

Hey LaCal,,my buddy!!! Well we did ask for Vanessa but she is now on another ship or vacation. Those Pla:Dt machines are taking our moolaaa. Altho, I got on a Diamond Quick pic and I played forever and no bonus rounds but told hubby as we were leaving to play my machine ,,I felt it was ready to do something and low and behold,,he got 20 round plus 3 plus 5 extra round then he hit another 3 bonus rounds total of 50 times 3 rounds. He was able to get my money back. Now that was fun!!!!!! The ocean has been very smooth for us. Thanks for all the advice.

This is our second day at sea and it's been smooth sailing. The ocean waves have been considered slight. The temp right now outside 60 degrees. It has been chilly since sail-away but I've noticed today it's getting better to sit out on our balcony.

We saw British Invasion last night and it's a very good production. We haven't had any luck in the casino but that's not abnormal for us. The ship looks good all decked out with Christmas trimmings.

I don't know how often I'll be on here but if anyone has any questions, I'll try to answer them. Aloha for now

It was the ship's name. The cruise line was Admiral Cruises.

 

Also happens to be my first, in 1989 (see sig).

Our first cruise was on the Asure Seas as well. Do you remember, you could bring guests on board? We were in the bowels of the ship and you could hear all this noise, kinda creepy. I still have a bottle of champagne from the Azure Seas. I keep it just because of the memories.
