Reading that FAQ, I see a lot of well-worded roundabouts to the questions. "...in deference to our paying guests and in accordance with on board regulations" sounds suspiciously like "not gonna happen." I'm just paranoid but, I would find out more from a reliable source inside before I'd commit to that.

Call me "I'm with Stupid 2" on this one. Everything is worded carefully in that manner that makes you
come to the conclusion Silound did. Maybe it's our Louisiana tendency to doubt people when they blow
smoke, but I also read trouble in that "can I leave the ship" question. Their answer in so many words
tells me, "Fat chance, rookie...all of our long-standing employees have whores in town that they like to
visit, and you will be covering for them while they frolic. You can get off at Guatemala, where no one
wants to touch the wiimmenz, eat the food or touch the bathrooms....that'll be YOUR TIME."

Now because you are a good married boy, I am sure you will love the ship and your cabin. You will enjoy
the scraps the fat Americans leave behind at the buffet (in deference to our guests) and will enjoy the
worst table in the theater, the one that won't stay level and still. But being as times are tough, even
some weird jobs are looking pretty great. I am just having fun with their little FAQ..
