Hi,

Congratulations, I really like your pictures and you two make a great couple together. I have read your cruise wedding review and I find it very interesting.

I plan to get married in July 2013 and we wanted to something different. Reading about your wedding and looking at the pictures I want to explore the possibilities for a cruise wedding.

Though, I have never been to a cruise before I am going for my first cruise soon in the Indian ocean, Kochi to Maldives and I have very excited about it.

Regards

Hi.. I am a new member and a first time cruiser.. I find the information that you have shared very interesting but unfortunately the website with Nautical dictionary is down at the moment. Is there a possibility that you know of any other resource.

Thanks in advance,

Ruchi Batra

I accidently found this site while googling for an answer to another question.

It's a bit "tongue in cheek" but it also has some useful definitions.

 

Examples:

 

Fun one:

C-Mail - E-Mail sent to landlubbers, by cruisers, from on-board cyber-cafes. Usually conveying messages along the lines of, "Nyah, nyah, nyah. We're eating lobster and you're eating leftovers (again)!" (see Sea-Mail and Sail-Mail).

 

Useful ones:

Brass Hat - slang name for the uniform cap worn by officers; hence generically used to refer to such officers themselves.

Bright Work - Polished metal fittings in a ship.

Bulkhead - the wall.

Bulwark - side of the ship at, or near, the main deck.
