Yearly Archives: 2010

I only have one more trip to Bermuda left. That’s hard to believe. Aside from the two months I was home, I have spent every other week either in Bermuda or traveling to/from Bermuda. Now I have one more cruise there and I may never see it again, who knows. […]

Hello again friends. Wow, another cruise down as time continues to fly by. I am now off on another cruise during which I will celebrate my one year anniversary with the company and celebrate my 100 days onboard this contract! All on the same day, 10-10-10, nonetheless. Before I delve […]

September 10, 2010 Well my friends, all those days of reading about my boring trips has paid off. And enduring all of my boring trips has finally paid off for me as well. I have finally found my stride and I had a very exciting cruise full of adventure and […]

I have a confession to make. I always try to make these sound as if I am writing them in port on a turnaround day, but the truth is I usually write them onboard the day before. That allows me to go out in port and spend time running errands […]

Well, another cruise down and nothing too terribly exciting to report. As mentioned earlier, this was my last cruise to the Caribbean for awhile. While I will miss the sun and the warmth and even though I was just starting to get my slight tan back, I am excited to […]

Greetings all! How were your weekends/first half of your work weeks? I don’t have a ton of details to report since it’s only been five days, but I did make it out to see the other lighthouse in Bermuda. One more thing off my list! Now I need to play […]

Wow! Another cruise down?! This cruise seemed really long and yet my time here as already gone by very quickly. What has it been now? About 6 weeks, I think. I still feel like I just got back, but this cruise forced me to keep my “full speed” schedule instead […]

Not a whole lot to report this cruise, but it has only been 5 days after all. Lots of staffing changes have recently happened or are happening today. One of my team members was transferred and we have a new guy, the Cruise Director leaves today, and one of my […]

4 cruises down! Hard to believe I’ve been here 4 weeks already- it’s gone so fast. Let’s hope the next 6 months do too. No, I really don’t mean that. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE being home. There is really no place in the world like it, but at […]

Well, I’ve made it safely back to the ship and I’m already one cruise into my contract. I spent all day on Friday, July 2nd traveling to get back to Newark, NJ so I could meet the ship on Saturday. I left my house at 7:45 AM and headed to […]

This may be my last post of the contract. As the weeks are flying by I may or may not have time to post again. I’m getting pretty excited for vacation. A few weeks…maybe even days…ago that was not the case. I’ve actually lived in one place (sort of) for […]

Wow! It’s been a long time since I’ve updated this. Cruises have been flying by- I only have 4 more cruises left after this. Hard to believe. Last cruise was my favorite of the contract and was the one I had been waiting for since I signed on, because my […]
