    I have never been. I use to work at a Maritime Academy in the kitchen. In Jan-Feb. they would do a training cruise to New Orleans and I couldn't wait to go. Then I found out if you were a girl, you had to be 21 to go, guys could go at 18! I was SOOOO mad. (I was only 18)

    Hope you have a good time and it's not all work!

    sometimes i do work on the cruise ships. just not this time. im ex military, and have high clearance. i specialize in, let s just say, all ships carry liquid, and that liquid must be measured, sounds easy, not so much, i created an algorithm a few years back that makes this much easier and accurate, and also know how to intergrate that into many applications, hence the military end, there are things on military ships you dont want to or need to know about.
    connecting this into a ships computers and such is my gig.
