I can’t believe it. I only have 4 weeks to go before I’m home again. In some regards this contract has gone really fast, however it seems like years ago that I signed on my first ship of the contract. I haven’t loved everyday out here for sure, but in […]

I’m back in the Caribbean again after a 3 month hiatus in cooler weather. In true form for the Caribbean, I basked in warmth and sunshine this morning and ran from the rain in the afternoon. I’m not always the Caribbean’s biggest fan, but I must admit that it is […]

How long ago did I promise you a blog would be coming “soon”? A month? Can’t be. Wow. Really? I’ve been back on this side of the pond for a month? Things have been a little busy. First of all, I’ve been enjoying some of my favorite ports up here […]

It’s been so long since I’ve written- and yet it has all gone so fast for me. I’ve been on my new ship for over a month now and in some ways it seems like I’ve been here for awhile, but it still feels brand new in other ways. I’ve […]

I’m writing this post whilst stuck onboard my ship. I’m so close I can see the outside, but they won’t let us go. This cruise required a change in itinerary and since we usually arrive in San Juan immediately following St. Croix our ship doesn’t have to do much in […]

I spend a lot of time in a variety of saintly islands. On Saturday I was in St. Croix. There is a fantastic deli in St. Croix that I have visited on every trip there. They make HUGE sandwiches, have Dt. Mountain Dew, and it is located right on the […]

I had never tried snorkeling before I started working on cruise ships. The muddy lakes and pristine swimming pools of Northwest Pennsylvania are not the best environments for underwater exploration, so I really never had the need. I snorkeled for the first time in December of 2009 and I was […]

I’m working on my Spanish. I’ve realized that this is the perfect time to dust off all of the Spanish I learned in high school but pushed to the corners of my brain as soon as my three year college requirement was fulfilled. I always think I’m getting better at […]

The sights. The sounds. The cultures. The foods. The beaches. The experiences. The glitz. The glam. Of a professional traveler. I feel like that is how most people see my life. I know that I have it good. I could have a much worse job and a much worse life. […]
