Yes, I can imaging with HA that the age thing would be really aggrivating! Mine was 1st Engineer and Staff Chief... I tried one contract as karaoke host and hated it! Being a professional passenger (aka, officers wife) was not bad, but I was really BORED!!! It was fun the first say 5 years together, the last 4 going onboard was getting to be torture! We had been on 17 of Carnivals ships... Got to see a lot of nice places and I met some really great people from all over the world, the Crew bar is like the UN with LOTS of booze... lol....

This year was the first New Years not onboard in like 6 years for us! I do miss the crew parties!

As 1st engineer, I can understand why he did it for 14 years! I take it he started off his career on the ol' cargo ships? :lol:

Wait, how many years had you been doing the Wife onboard thing? I can definitelty see how it would get boring. But I'd love the fact that there's no In-port manning (IPM -shudder)!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: The UN hahahahaha... I think it's more like a night out in Thailand or Bali hahaha

I MISS US$0.95 CARONAS!!!!!!!!

I have a question. Both my husband and I are 23. Which is young, I suppose. Do you think they'd give us a hard time about getting married at a young age?
