Congratulations, and well done.
Having (Heaving?) spent 4 years in our U.S. Navy, I must say that I envy you. I enjoyed nary a sec at sea. At the sound of the 'cast off' whistle, I generally got real green, and stayed that way until my toes once again touched terra firma.  I would give a lot to spend one good day at sea.

The cast off 'whistle' was more of a deafening horn that echoes with incredible power between two ten-story steel boats. We were in the security line between our ship, the Pride, and another Carnival ship, Inspiration, when three long blasts guaranteed that we wouldn't hear the 'Vegas-style show' that night.
No, really, I didn't have a problem with the constant motion of the ship. The only thing that's ever made me motion-sick was, go figure, a video game. Dark Forces for the PC. Made me really, really sick every time I played it. Weird...
