So...I don't tell the story in too many places, but you'll all appreciate this. We did a 4.5 hour tour from Ketchikan to Misty Fjords by boat. I was obvious as heck anywhere I went. Coming back aboard the ship, we head to the central elevators, and my wife gets into an elevator that just didn't seem to have enough room for me, myself, and my 600. I stepped back, and as I was reaching to call another elevator, the Maitre D' Hotel says hello, asks about our tour, and then asks where we were having dinner for the night. That afternoon, I figured out who he was from the org chart, and we tracked him down after dinner. He invited us to his office, and we spent 20-30 minutes sharing our pictures from our 2014 cruise. Afterwards, he invited us to enjoy dinner the following night in the Italian specialty restaurant, "his treat". That's what all of the pictures cover towards the end...I'm sure the service is usually good there, but service was fantastic for us that night.

We've kept in touch with him, sent him a 6xDVD set of all of our Alaska cruise photos and (time-lapse) videos, and will be returning for another 7-day cruise on the ship this August for our fifth anniversary.
