I doubt they'll be opening the ship, I could be wrong but having a Navy background, I know the US don't open their ships for the public at any ports.

It's snarky lil remarks like this that cause all the arguements on the board?

Just take it on the chin W_F, He was only correcting you. It's on a internet forum, Not who wants to be a millionaire. Nothing has been lost ... :lol:

I understand that and have no problems with people correcting me [we are only human's]

But its common practise here from what I can see, people having bitch's and going over purpose to correct people.

Meh
