You enjoy the Disney hospitality at their resorts. Why not at sea? Do
you get seasick? Yup. I'll bet that's it.

Sue! Sue! Everybody's doing it. One whiner on the Carnival Triumph wants to
sue because the ship was listing from side to side.

Isn't that what ships do?

Exactly. I suspect that when she was under tow she yawed and listed to one
side then the other. Stabilizers not effective with no power. But I must say
those vessels are extraordinarily stable.

Re cruise ship vs ocean liner. Liner has a foredeck. Some cruise ships have no
foredeck at all. Liner built of heavier plate. Excellent U Tube documentary on
the Queen Mary 2.

Thought I heard when the power goes out on those things, they rock a lot...
