I think I am going to do a transatlantic cruise here in a year or 2. Who wants to tell me about it?

Here is Sailor Jack's wonderfully written review.

thanks! anyone else?

One question: does Raffles=tiny bubbles=hidden agenda?

Yes it does pose the question, and my research shows you are correct. Bannings forthcoming.

Wow maybe this person has a personality disorder, or should I say a major identity crisis.

I would love to do a transatlantic cruise some day. I would love to see the world that way, beats flying.

Greyson, you are correct on both counts: personality disorder AND major identity crisis.

Raffles, aka somebeach and now these two.
