Wait, wait, people were complaining about 15ft swells on a CRUISE SHIP?
Eggs Act Lee! Oh, and me ROTFLMAO (both at the time and with your comments). Believe me, I thought about you (and my brother, and my brother-in-law, both retired surface nucs). This sucker is Big, a frickin' floating hotel. 73,529 tons gross, 880 ft LOA, 105' beam. with stabalisers.
Now, mind, I make no bones that my Navy hitch took a different route than yours; four years and I never saw a ship. On the other hand, I've spent a fair amount of time out on the Great Lakes (ever seen a storm on Lake Huron?) in small ships and sailboats, and offshore in both the Gulf and the Gulf Stream here in Baja Jorja in sailboats. And I love roller coasters. Motion sickness is not my problem.
