My Mum and Dad did the Alaskan cruise a few years ago on a Norwegian something, they were on the Norwegian Spirit in the Med last year, one of the few in the fleet you have not been on. They say I can go with them next time but I doubt it will ever happen, always wanted to try a short cruise.

If you do mate, let me know & I'll see if I can get you on the VIP list. Same goes for any NSC'er!

[spig100963]

Have been embarked forces on Invincible and Fearless and many an Lsl. Was sick on the Invincible, we were housed under the flight deck in camp beds. The smell of fuel and rough sea made me feel awful. Whilst feeling rough had to galley duty, the pot wash on board was unbelievable. (24 hours behind) Nothing worse than sea sickness. Don't know how you Matelots do it?
