Blackbeard Cruise in November

[Liv7301]

My husband and I are taking a Blackbeard cruise in November over the week of Thanksgiving. (We wanted to go on the trip ST was putting together but I am a school teacher and I don't think my district would enjoy me taking off for a week at the beginning of the year!)
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I have heard very positive things about Blackbeard liveaboards from various people but would still like to put a post out there on your thoughts, especially in the areas of: food quality, motionsickness issues, privacy since the below deck area is very open, and your satisfaction on the various dive sites. Also, how was the shark dive? Curious since that is what my husband is looking forward to the most!</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Looking forward to your comments! Thanks!</DIV>

I was looking into that as well.. I would love to do this. My wife however is a bit nervous of living on a boat for a week (she gets motion sickness pretty easily).
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>However last year in Coz. Ginger pills and Meclazine seemed to do the trick on preventing it. </DIV>

Shouldn't you be working. Know wander Joe is always napping in the office.

I've been on a few liveaboards, and many of the people I've met take dramomine. It seems to work fine.

<DIV>We so desparately wanted to go on the shop's trip with Tom Ford The Warm Fuzzy but nooooooo it had to be in September at the beginning of the school year! So, November it is!</DIV>

<DIV>So it seems like everyone out there is basically complaint free when it comes to Blackbeard?</DIV>

I would love to go... Don't think there would be any way I would make that after going to Cozumel July 26-Aug 1st though.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I would be broke.. </DIV>

<DIV>Yeah, I've a complaint about liveaboards: Afterwords you won't want to live on land!</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Maybe it was 7 years of NYC apartment living...but man I LOVE being aboard a sailboat. If my partner wasn't an artist (she works in oils) who need studio space I'd have pestered her to get a SV years ago. It makes me relaxed just thinking about the rocking motion. Yarrrr.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>After seeing the Blackbeard site, I have to get her certified asap.</DIV>
