Chanel 4 news must either be the ships own network or from Alaska. Back then Chanel 4 in Vancouver was KIRO 4 ABC out of Seattle. Also I agree with the Captain about the weather it was between grades 10 and 11 for me and during all of July we 4 days without rain. Not sure of August as I was working as a deckhand on a fish boat that I had done since I was 12. Several years prior the MS Meteor a smaller cruise ship had a major fire off of the mid-eastern coast of Vancouver Island that caused several fatalities. One of the co-incidents was that the fire occurred close to an Air Force Base that was the main west coast rescue bases. They saved a lot of people air lifting them off.
In 1980 amateur video equipment was relatively new I created a weekly close circuit news show for the Crew and officers I called it Ch4 News because you had to put the VHS tape player on Ch 4 to go out on the ships CCTV
Nice Plymouth! And nice drive, I work in Everett and live in Marysville so I go across that bridge every day. Probably seen each others cars at the local shows

You have a 'sheltered' balcony right? Does the window open. I'm booking a transatlantic from Southampton to NYC and can't decide which - balcony or sheltered....November you see (2022)...if the sheltered window opens, I'd like that! xx thanks
Hi, there is no glass in the window of a sheltered balcony. It is completely open. I sailed on her in November and I was grateful to have taken a sheltered balcony because I was still able to go outside when the upper decks were closed due to wind. I recommend a sheltered balcony in November to eliminate the fear of being swept overboard!
I’m so excited! I just booked mine/ours for November 2021..just 5 months away! We have a sheltered balcony room too. THANK YOU so much for sharing! Great video
