curious? - During Deployment

youngwifey · 08-22-2006, 11:07 AM

Can anyone tell me the difference between a med cruise and the "regular" ones? My husband has deployed two times, but this will be his first MED cruise, so what is it? He said that his ship will hit a ton of ports, over 20!!!!!!!!

I have no idea but since no one answered yet I'm going to guess and see if I'm right

I guess it goes into the Mediterranean

Med cruise is to the mediterranean, West pac is Western Pacific...

"Med" means mediterranean

We've always been on the west coast, which of course is "westpac" country. BUT...I know that a med cruise is (yes) the mediterranean. I am confused when you refer to a "regular" cruise. I thought that Westpac's and Med cruises were considered "regular" cruises depending on your coast

Are you talking about work ups? When they'll go out for a month or two at a time? As far as 6-monthers, I've only ever heard of a westpac, a med cruise, and a world cruise.

I guess I'm a little lost.
