“ Travelers can also swap out travel companions for different legs of the cruise”

The old “girl in every port!” ploy.

Review of Virgin cruises on YouTube doesn’t look inviting. A bunch of drunk young adults and ship design that looks like a bad makl renovation.

Does the ship have cameras all over the decks and you Zoom into the cruise from home?

I stood my share of underway watches. I have my Cutterman’s pin. I knew a few sailors that loved living out of a berthing bunk, stood watch and hit the rack with a book. This is for those folks. One buddy had 15 years in, lived in the barracks and had 11 monthly military pay checks in his foot locker.

Shift Colors ~ Underway as before, #1 and #2 MDE in the loop. #1 and #2 SSDG in parallel. Emergency generator in stand-by. #2 Steering pump. #1 boiler. #2 FW pump. FW suction from A-401-T.

No doubt military sea time ruint me for cruising.

My company told us that we were on the hook to report a change in tax status if we remotely worked in ANOTHER state. I can’t imagine how we would report it if we were in international waters.

Remote worker: Hey, I’m going on a cruise!
CEO: Aw, f*** it! He’s gone!
Remote worker: *Returns from cruise; goes to stand in unemployment line.*
