Default Heroic Golden Princess crew!

I just read on the Princess page of FaceBook that the crew of the Golden rescued 2 people and 2 dogs from a fishing boat today that was in distress, as the Golden was enroute from LA to Hilo. The fishing boat must have been quite a distance from land, because the Golden is not due in port in Hilo until tomorrow.
GREAT JOB, Golden Princess Crew!!!

Well done Princess. It is suprising how many rescues are done by cruise lines. On the Crown in 2007 we did 2 rescues over the 9 week period I was onboard.

Into the dining room?...of course, he is wearing shoes and a jacket. Might just throw the jacket over the back of the chair during the meal, tho.
