birdylady Posted July 27, 2011 #101 Share Posted July 27, 2011 If you have an e-reader, then my reviews have already been compiled. A CC member compiled them for people who have e-readers and has made them available to other members. Can you please share what the title is or how to find it in Amazon? I would also love to download it. Erika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorJack Posted July 28, 2011 Author #102 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Do you have any idea how to get them? DH has a Kindle.Thanks in advance. Truffles, I don't have a link, but the poster goes by the name of "groo". If you do a search for his name you should be able to find it. I don't think it was on this board however. If you can't find it let me know and I will try another way. Jack Can you please share what the title is or how to find it in Amazon? I would also love to download it. Erika Erika, see above.

truffles2 Posted July 28, 2011 #103 Share Posted July 28, 2011 mmmmmm, no matches for "groo" :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truffles2 Posted July 28, 2011 #104 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Well, I did find something....a listing of posts on NCL--the last of which was over a year ago. Thought about posting on NCL "looking for Groo" and ask him but it is doubtful if he has not been on a thread since Jan '10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought about posting on NCL "looking for Groo" and ask him but it is doubtful if he has not been on a thread since Jan '10. I know he has been active since then. Suggestion: Try posting on my Dream review. I think he subscribed to that one so if he is still here he should get your request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truffles2 Posted July 28, 2011 #106 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Well, DUH!:rolleyes: There were 5 pages of posts and I only looked at the first page. When I searched further, I found it right away. Here it is thanks to groo: If you have an ereader that supports epub format ( like the Nook ), here is a link to SailorJack's reviews. www.triplelake.net/darry/sailorjack.epub Not sure what epub is.....the pub part sounds good:p.

truffles2 Posted July 28, 2011 #107 Share Posted July 28, 2011 OK, DH now has it on his Kindle. He said it was easy to do and there is an option for converting it from epub to Kindle. Just FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just FYI. Thanks for the update. I will keep the link for future use. PS: Erika..I hope you were able to download as well. STILL the funniest single passage on this entire site. :D:D:D John, I just hope that people understand that English cooking is really not that bad.:) In my opinion (and that's what counts!:p), all of Sailor Jack's reviews should be kept FOREVER. Someone suggested a sticky at the top of page. Kathy Hi, Kathy..ALWAYS good to hear from you. Hope your travels have been enjoyable. As I recall you sail with a group of friends..so I know you have fun. Take care. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailorJack Posted October 7, 2011 Author #112 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Sailor Jack Thanks so much for your trip report. Can't wait for the next one. What a great writing style and your way with words is fantastic. Glad you enjoyed it.:) Our next cruise is on the Diamond Princess - from Singapore to Sydney - late next month. If I get enough things to write about my next review should be sometime in early December. Your review was great. You should write a book or a short stories. Hysterical Thanks, but no book in the offing - sounds like to much work!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgirls Posted October 13, 2011 #116 Share Posted October 13, 2011 What a hysterical review! We are scheduled for a 16 night ta on the Jewel next August. Were there many days of rough seas? We just got back from Alaska and had awful swells (not the people, the seas) Husband is quavering. Please help! I want to see Iceland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorJack Posted October 14, 2011 Author #117 Share Posted October 14, 2011 What a hysterical review! We are scheduled for a 16 night ta on the Jewel next August. Were there many days of rough seas? We just got back from Alaska and had awful swells (not the people, the seas)Husband is quavering. Please help! I want to see Iceland. We have done 4 TAs - including the one that stopped at Iceland. We have never encountered what one would call "rough" seas - although others have. You cannot predict nature, but the chances of having really rough seas I would think would be relatively small. On the other hand, Iceland is fantastic - you will not be disappointed. If your husband has doubts, get your roll call to give you support!:) By the way, I loved your reference to "swells" - I haven't heard that term used in quite a while. Enjoy your cruise!

Taxguy77 Posted December 18, 2011 #119 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Are you sure you're not Dave Barry??? Love your reviews....well, actually, your writing style. If you wrote a review of your next grocery shopping trip, I'd read it! Never realized he was so close to Dave Barry! :( Have I had too much Irish? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxguy77 Posted December 18, 2011 #122 Share Posted December 18, 2011 We were on NCL on 9/11/01! On a similar itinerary, the Voyage of the Titanic!. Spooky! :eek: Cobh: Unnesessary to learn how to prnouce it! (Thank God) After walking around town a little bit (little town), we went to a pub abd had a beer. Some other folks doing the same asked us if we were from the same ship. We decided to take a cab to the larger town nearby, and split the cab fee (very reasonable!). We enjoyed a good pub lunch, went our separate ways, and met a few hours later for our taxi back. Lot's of fun! We were stopped on the streets and asked if we were Americans, and given their best wishes by people. The stores were CLOSED the next day to honor the victems! Any other country do all this? :confused: I'm proud to be even 1/4 Irish!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got back (Friday) from a really great 18 day cruise through Asia on the Diamond Princess. It wasn't the voyage of the Titanic, but it did have a great deal of history in it - especially Viet Nam. I am working on the "review" right now and should have it posted on the Princess Board tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
