Hey, I know what will be fun! Let’s get in a cramped, floating, warm, moist Petri Dish with a few thousand other people and their waste and refuse. And run into a reef!

Hey, cruise line advertising is prohibited here. Anyway, you left out the part about the rats and the Legionnaires’ Disease... :-(
To: spodefly
My sentiments exactly! One cruise on a floating toilet was enough for me.

Yes we did. My favorite port is Skagway. The Red Onion Saloon was interesting in a baudy sort of way having been a brothel. I found out that Skagway had electricity before New York City !
Our first trip to Alaska was a 15 day inland tour that also included the Yukon. We took the domed car train into Anchorage and road from White Horse Pass to Skagway. We loved every minute of it., even the freezing cold whitewater rafting trip.

Weve taken the NY to Bermuda cruise on NCL a couple times. Bermuda is just a great island and a terrific place to visit. Because Bermuda trips always conflicted with my fishing season I have never been there.
This year I decided to go and see Bermuda while I still am healthy enough. - Tom

“So who is the captain of this ship?”
I just read somewhere that the captain’s name is Brian Williams. (sarc)

We may be evacuated off the ship depending on how the evaluation of the damages go.

How does any ship run aground these days with the sea levels rising so drastically? I mean even if the charts are off, they should be off by being deeper than they actually are.LOL! You maybe right, but I suggest the ship is riding low in the water. Maybe under-capacity in souls, but over-capacity in cargo, if yer get my meanin'.

Great photos and interesting use of forced perspective. No way the guy on the right could be standing like that!

I heard that the ‘got off’ when the tide rose, any word?
To: tcrlaf
from another article-
CEO Frank Del Rio said a flight with Stuart and a technical team arrived in Bermuda at about 2 a.m. Del Rio said the ship had a temporary malfunction of its steering system upon leaving the harbor. .He said the captain, using bow thrusters and other means, was able to maneuver the bow of the ship onto a limestone plateau.
This sounds like a narrative right out of the Obama Playbook. -Tom

No way the guy on the right could be standing like that!Indeed. I did a double-take, then realized what happened.
