WHO COULD BE CRANKY WHEN BILL COSBY’S
around?
Recently Norwegian Cruise Line
enlisted legendary US comedian, Bill
Cosby, to entertain guests onboard
Norwegian Pearl during a forced
overnight in Seattle on 24 Jul, where she
underwent emergency repairs to her
propeller.
In addition to complimentary Cosby,
guests were able to liquor-up for the
show, with NCL laying on free house
wine with dinner and $150 worth of
onboard credit to compensate for missed
calls.
“We understand that missing Juneau
will cause disappointment for some of
our guests, so we wanted to do
something very special to make the
cruise memorable,” said Norwegian’s
CEO Kevin Sheehan.
“Bill Cosby is a huge name in
entertainment and we felt that he would
deliver an incredible show,” he added.
WATERLOGGED JOURNEY FORMS FRIENDSHIPS.
An 11-year old boy from the US state
of Oregon, Thomas Craig, has formed a
lifelong friendship with a nine-year old
girl who lives 3,200kms away, due to
ocean currents.
The boy was on a boat fishing when
he decided to write a note and pop it in
a bottle for the sea to distribute.
It took 12 months for the bottle to
reach Hawaii and the hands of Trinity
Ballesteros, who was combing a beach in
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
“My first thought was what if someone
is really in trouble and they’re sending
out an SOS,” she said.
“Would I even be able to help? Were
they lost at sea or stuck on a deserted
island? Were they even in Hawaii?” she
added.
Rather than worst case scenarios
the note simply said “Dear finder of my
message, My name is Thomas and I live
in Oregon. I’m ten years old and this
week I’m salmon fishing deep in the
ocean. I would like to hear from you.”
The pair have been in regular email
contact since.
