The current header photo of the C-Cel with Mt. Baker in the distance is a fine photo and it is one of the pics that I voted for.
Every time I see it though, I wonder about that person in the 'phone booth'. Is he/she going to quickly change into his/her tights? Do other Coastal class vessels have phone booths on the outer decks?
I am, of course, referring to the person in between the plexi-glass wind breaks around one of the doors leading into the C-Cel's cabin.
PS: Phone booths are not as common as they once were. Do I need to define the term 'phone booth' for the benefit of some of our youngest members?

If that person were to be getting changed, I don't think the phone-booth-style plexi-glass would really create adequate privacy, vs. just getting changed out in the open. All the Coastals have them, as far as I am aware, for each of the three doors leading into the forward, midship, and aft stairwells, respectively.

I believe that Mr. Wett Coast was floating a "Superman gets changed in a phone booth" scenario, where Clark Kent quickly finds that kind of spot, and returns in blue tights. ;D

I should hope Superman would be there to save the day from any of us having to hear another single-note whistle ever again. ;D

Have to wait about a year from now to hear them, though.

Good Luck if that maximum capacity is not large enough to hold everything you need to know. Btw does anyone know when flagship for Jan. 2013 start?

If I had the executive powers of this forum, I would declare that "MileagePhoto" has set the stage of the next "flagship" banners: "Funnels with Whistles" We'll see what our moderators think about this.

I think this was already done? Just minus the whistles. Jordan, was this you?

I am studying Urban/Rural Transportation Planning and my first exam is tonight - I think I am ok, the studying info is just competing for space with things like current BCF vessel placements, how tall the Shangri-La is downtown, and the current playlist cycling on my iPod.
