I think it is a great idea to try the cruise venue. I don't see how my wife could possibly object to being on a cruise while I am in satellite presentations and I know she would enjoy meeting some of my radio friends. If the attendance is particularly low, we will know not to try it again! I just hope Carnival will be cooperative about a bunch of hams waving satellite antennas around. Imagine that picture - a dozen guys standing on deck in Bermuda shorts, waving Elks & Arrows, wearing headphones and talking to one another through a satellite! Sounds like some prime material for the AMSAT Journal about a year from now.
Sounds like prime material for somebody working on their Psychology PhD, too! :-D

And meanwhile on the bridge, they are frantically trying to find where the sextants are stored because the GPS says they are either in Hawaii or the Sahara Desert.

I think the cruise is a good idea. My only thought about it is that some wives are very high maintenance, possibly placing the ham in a lose-lose situation being split apart by dual loyalties. Or he can try to go alone, and face other consequenceis. It will be an interesting challenge...
