While I was on a cruise in Alaska this summer, my dad and I were outside our cabin on our balcony when all of a sudden my dad spotted a helicopter coming from the back of the ship. The helicopter very quickly approached our side of the ship and then hovered right next to our balcony. The noise from the aircraft became too loud to talk over. There were 3-4 men inside the helicopter. We waved at them. One of the men in the back of the helicopter took out a regular digital camera and appeared to take our picture! Very odd! Thats when I started taking lots of pictures of them. And then they hovered a little more and then took off. We never did find out why they appeared in the middle of Prince William Sound, Alaska next to our Holland America cruise ship. Here are some pics of the Coast Guard Helicopter next to our ship on Aug. 2, 2008. You can see just how close to the ship they were!
