Bill,Most ships do that at one time or another. Some ships also have what is known as tiger cruises. We do not know if they have any planned for next year.
My son emailed us that his phone was stolen in the last port that they were in. We have had the phone suspended. I guess we will be getting him the replacement phone that our carrier offers.

Happy day after everyone, quick question. Do they do a family cruise? My neighbor is ex Navy and he said that they take the family out for the day to show how our Sailors live and work. Thanks for any info. Bill

Just want to wish everyone a very blessed Thanksgiving. In an email from Roly he said they celebrated a coule days ago with all the trimmings. As he stated they made the best of not being with family. Sounded like our sailors did allright. Have a peaceful holiday.

Yes they have! When I joined in Nov.2008 I was welcomed with open arms. I am also on Navydads but the info there pretty much is non existent. I love this site! A couple of mom's were a little miffed that a Dad joined but the ladies came to my defense because a parent is a parent regardless if it is a Mom or Dad.I will be poking around and asking a wealth of questions as it seems I am, once again,a newbee. Thanks Ladies!

I knew when I found this link that you would offer a world of info! My wife, daughter-in-law, son and I thank you very much. This group will surely help us through the transition.

Hi Bill and welcome. My son Austin is a DC on the Cook. He will be on the Cook 2 years in Jan. and this is his first 6 month deployment.

Wishing everyone a very safe and blessed Thanksgiving.
