After watching all the news reports about cruises this year i think I'll stay on solid ground for now. And I don't fly either, not scared of flying but couldn't handle the b.s. of airport security and way too many people crammed into a small space.

Im not afraid of the flying either its the sudden drop that might happen that scares the hell outta me.

see with the cruise it isn't the sudden stop - just the prolonged one you worry about - you gotta take chances in this life

Damn that was an expensive meeting - got the estimate and $1000 if they don't break the back glass removing it - 1400 if they do.
