Phil.......Just watching it has made me queasy.....Fraid I'm a land lover,but was recently considering a cruise, but all the balcony rooms were taken & we would not settle for less......take it from your comment you be an ex seafarer.....
Spent six glorious months in an apartment in Gothenburg Swedenstanding by the building of this beauty a 144,000 tonner,The London Glory,,,took delivery,, did sea trials and sailed her out to the Gulf on her maiden voyage
Made me feel a bit sea sick just watching it, we were sat on the beach today eating fish and chips( flathead) not half as good as cod and there was a line of tankers waiting to go into newcastle a bit warmer here though, I used to get sea sick when we were stationed in Germany and came back to Uk on the north sea ferry LOL
