But I guess some of the ports of call make up for it and I understand some of the newer boats have much more room.

ya it can take a while befor you automaticly pick up your feet at the right time or duck.. I have been on the tankers since 1993 so have much more room, the guys and gals from 443 love comming to the tanker, more like a floating hotel. ya when your on it you are on it.. but we do lots of things to try make the ride more fun, and normaly its only a week or two till you are some place new.. If I would have knowen then what I know now I would have bought a condo in Diego, I watched one go from 100K to almost 1mill in 15 years.. and I ended up going to diego over 100 times in 20 years.. Hawaii was second at about 75 times.
Speaking of a lounge at 2.50 a beer, the ships have a bear machine so you can have a couple beer a day at sea and it is about a 1.25 now.. was 0.50 each when I was younger.
but Rodgers pass eh.. hmm still a little to far to drive up and visit as I got the brand new puppy taking up most of my time right now...
