Bag is in hallway and as we retire on our last night aboard the fog horn is blasting every two minutes as we are cruising in dense fog.

 

For us; a soothing sleep hypnotic sound.

 

Tis been a great cruise, on a great ship an crew.

 

Thanks John for taking so many along on with you on this cruise.

John, I have enjoyed your comments and pictures as you took us along with you and Maria this week.  Thank you for taking the time to post about your cruise and to answer questions.  We appreciate all you have contributed to various CC threads, and the help you provided last year to @Kindergirl and her parents.

 

Hope you and Maria have a safe flight back to LAX.

John, I suspect I am not the only one that remembers your above and beyond duties when you met and escorted the elderly couple through LAX upon their return from the ill fated WC last year on behalf of their worrying daughter in FLA.

That, was an exceptional moment of compassion and humanity.

Thanks

Doug

I agree, Doug!

Thanks, Bruce, for your contributions on John's "Live"!  Wonderful to follow along on your Cruise!  The NA does have a great Staff and Crew and is an awesome Ship!  

 

Always sad putting those bags out on the last night!  Safe Travels home!  (Also, love the Fog Horn!)

What a beautiful day in Ketchikan. Maybe twice in all our trips to Alaska did we have a day like that. And many thanks to John and Bruce for their commentaries on the 3rd voyage.

No appointment required and did not see any classes offered besides "sit and stretch" I was looking for a cycling class but alas, maybe in Dec on K-dam

Have a safe trip home! Thank you for sharing your trip with us. We will be onboard in just about an hour and a half and hope to have just as much fun.

Hi Copper 10-8,  I hope you're wearing your board shorts and flip flops, it's beautifully warm down here.  Thank you for taking us along on this cruise and entertaining us for a week!!!!!  Safe flight, landing, and drive home.  Cherie

Thanx everyone! Still on the ground at the gate after a fellow PAX experienced a medical emergency just prior to push back, requiring Seattle Fire to have to come onboard to take the gentleman off (under his own power, thankfully) Situation was handled very well by everyone involved! Hoping to take off within the next 15 min

[TiogaCruiser]

Safe travels, and thanks for taking us along.
