Rare Copper10-8 Posted August 11, 2013 #51 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Gail, John has been posting for a few years an avatar of a man's behind in a green speedo, around St. Patrick's Day. It is a shot from mid-chest to mid-thigh, from behind. I'm not willing to attest that it really is John, though, or a stock shot. :D He has also used Elvira, Queen of the Night, as an avatar around Halloween, and several shots from his time as a member of the police force. My favorite is the one with his K-9 companion of what is obviously many years ago, when he was in the force, K-9 division. John, I honor your service in the police force, and especially in the Corps. Dave Anchors Away Dave! Thank you for serving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storylady Posted August 11, 2013 #54 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Don't believe she's still working for HAL Thanks for the quick reply. I am sorry to hear that. She added a wonderful Australian flavor to the Australian cruise. Her mock audition to join the Aussie Boys was the best thing I have ever seen a cruise director do.

Rare Alphen Posted August 12, 2013 #56 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) I am just curious how it is that you have so much knowledge of all the personnel movements in the fleet? While I am at it, we would like to know which captain and CD will do the holiday sailing on the Rotterdam to the Canary’s this year. We did the May sailing to Norway with Marco Carsjens and Michael Langley as CD, of whom the latter one was not our favorite, so hoping that Glen Coenen will be joining.

I'm so curious, I can't help but ask, if you don't mind. If this is your first HAL cruise (lucky you...... the first is always special), would the names of the Captain and CD mean anything to you? Would you know these people if you've never sailed HAL before? I know I'm missing something obvious but not sure what. :o Have a GREAT cruise.
