Re: Report from the Ship
How dare those oligarchs in their cabanas on deck 12 complain about you having some quiet, low key qsos on deck 14. No class! Sounds like you had a fun crossing for your first cruise on the Rotterdam.

Re: Report from the Ship
What a neat story, Dave! The captain seems like a really nice guy, and I love the bit about you getting excited on the radio and told to settle down, haha. What a fantastic experience. Hope to see you
