Thanks Pete and all the others who have posted
their personal reviews of this video! When I booked
the cruise for my wife and I, We had no idea of the
importance of the trip. It was our first DQ cruise
and our 31st Anniversary and we elected to take
the 3 night trip as a "sampler". Needless to say, it
was a fabulous experience and will lead to more
cruises for us in the future.
Aside from the party and speeches that marked the
dual "occasions" of first cruise for Delaware North
and the 75th Anniversary for the boat, it was the
people who made this very special. As each crew
member was interviewed and the words of Doc
Hawley and Jane Greene were recorded, it
became obvious that the elements of a very
interesting program had been captured. My original
plan was to merely record on video some nice
footage for personal viewing but I thought others
might like to have this too so I went ahead and
edited the program. It's very gratifying to know
others appreciate this and I thank you all for that.
Hopefully, DQSC will approve the video for
inclusion in their gift shops so they can earn
something from it as well. Right now, it's going
through the DN legal department for their approval.
If DN or DQSC had contracted to produce such a
program, the cost would have run quite high, many
thousands of dollars. So, what we've offered them
is a program they can use to promote the DQ
without up front expenses plus, should they elect to
carry it, the ability to earn a little money for the boat.
And, if we ever break even on the production, we'll
use those funds to book more trips. There's still a
lot of river mileage for us to experience!
By the way, the shot of the lady with the camera
and life jacket who turns and goes into the cabin is
my wife, JoAnn. She really loved the trip!...Jim
