"Alaskan Boat Passengers Calm Amid Chaos | May 15, 2007
When the Empress of the North ran aground, the band played on - as everyone disembarked in an orderly fashion. Passengers jolted awake by the ***** hitting a reef in Alaska's Icy Strait were ordered to don lifejackets and gather in the ballroom."

Well, it caused quite a stir up here anyway! But, the reason I'm posting this is that she just came into our port about twenty minutes ago - don't know if the work will be done here, or if this is just a stopping off point for her. It was still pretty dark and she was all lit up and looked so festive - for the crew, that's all that's left on board!!

We'll drive down later and be looky-lous and maybe take some pictures. She's a beautiful *****.

Yes, we heard about it down here. My goodness, I'm glad the Captain and Crew were professional on that boat and everyone got out safely.
