zonacruiser25 Posted April 24, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I always look forward to the Veterans get together on our cruise. No reason we can't have one here. Share your information and let's swap stories. Steve Hintz, US Navy 1972-1981 and I served on submarines. Spent most of my sea duty out of Pearl Harbor. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Served in Desert Storm, Desert Saber, and Desert Shield. Got him to cruise by suggesting a ship can also be “fun”.

Every ship that I've been on has a veteran's get together as some point during the cruise. It's in the daily announcements. I've always enjoyed them.
