Nice ....but remind me to tell y’all about the week I spent hosting a early 90”s Star Trek cruise in the Caribbean (I was.cruise director) with everyone from .wil Wheaton, to Gene Roddenberry to most of the casts of Next Generation and the Original..No Shatner, Nimoy or Stewart, tho....high point was getting James Doohan absolutely blitzed,at the bar on the last night of the cruise while the Trek Crew put on their Cast talent show and I got an earful of what Scotty really felt about Uhuras singing talents, as we witnessed her diva ness........

It was , in actuality, sort of a clusterfu#k, the ship was ancient and under equipped, (she sunk a few years later on her way to her scrapped) , and I had to juggle a lot of high-maintenance balls....I found some online remberances of the experience...
