Now, that's a real game changer! Had this been advertised in advance we would have seen even more interest in joining the cruise!

Don't make fun. I was really planning on joining but DW was reluctant about leaving the kids behind. Had I known Harper was on board and that they would go to The Falklands (I'm obsessed with Modern British History) I would 1000% of joined!

@Dan, did you guys get to go ashore at Stanley?

Question answered. My jealousy knows no bounds. Does this mean less penguin time?

Why do you think I was making fun? I might have been making fun with my "boycott!" post, but I am dead serious when I say that knowing that Stephen Harper would be on board is a game changer (though TBH, I don't think I would have gone even with that major enticement).

Does getting off the boat in the Falklands affect the boarding within 3 days of shabbos issue?

Security is optional for former prime ministers in Canada. Harper chose to keep a security detail when he left office but being that it's optional he can probably ditch them whenever he wants. And you can't be sure they're not there because his security is all plainclothes. So that 'friend' he has on board.....

So tell me... this boat that you say is going up, is it going down as well?
