Congrats to both of you!

Now, the real question: can he get you a discount on a cruise?

Apparently he is allowed a free cruise for a week per year for up to four passengers.....meals, and accomodation are free but not alcoholic drinks.

One small problem...he only gets to know a week before hand and his mom wants him to be on board if and when it happens.

I can imagine her stalking him for a week

We nearly got to Alaska two years back but the vacancy was purchased my tourists at the last minute.

Good stuff Jim. You have every right to be proud.

We get a lot of cruise ships here. Massdam was just here on Tuesday. According to schedule, Ms Eurodam arrives here, Charlottetown, Canada on Sept.20. Will try to get some photos and post them.

You know how to make one very envy, 'cause one of my biggest dream, is to take a cruise and I'm not talking about some 2-3 days cruise.

I understand that the only way to achieve this, is to get a job on a cruise-liner. That itself is very difficult.

Here's a some of those cruise I wish I could affort

Cruising the Norwegian fjords

A roundtrip Southampton-New York-Southampton(Only Cunard makes this)

World Cruise

So I'm very envy at your son, on the other hand a job on a cruiser can be very hard at times. Even thou most of the crew must love their job(I'm convinced that they do)

I believe his next leave commences first or second week in August so it's possible he'll be joining her somewhere in that area.

Your all so very kind, I only wish the ships internet allowed access to SubSim but sadly that's not the case.

Jim,

Great to see your son doing well in his chosen career. If he's anything like his father, then he'll definitely have the drive to take it as far as he wants.

Good to hear he's looking after his mum and dad as well. I'm sure you'll all have a great reunion.

I can only echo Jamie's words and say you've done a great job in bringing up a fine young man.
