Sea Days...

March 23

I have found that it is VERY hard to remember what day it is yet alone the day of the week. Wow… I didn’t think I would be this bad. I am sure I ask what day it is about 5 times before it actually sinks in. The funniest thing is when both my rommie and me cannot remember what the day is when we are talking to our guests. It actually becomes a joke after a while.

Another cruise about to be in the books. We are on our way back to San Diego and have 5 sea days. Now when we have port days I am so exhausted from walking around on shore and doing things, but when we are at sea…. Hence the lack of pictures.

I find myself hanging out more and more in my cabin doing NOTHING. So my plan is to go out and sit at one of the bars and listen to some of the guys. We have our Piano Bar, and then another place is where you can find a small band. They consist of a piano, bass (chello maybe?), and drums. I’ll probably hang out with these guys for a while anc chat with them on their breaks. Sometimes after everyone is done for the night, we go to the crew bar, but if I have to get up in the morning I’ll try to get to bed before 12 or 1am.

Last night David called me around 1am, waking me up of course, and was asking what I was doing. When I told him I had to be up early and was sleeping, his reply… “There’s no sleeping on cruises!” Lmao. Gotta love these guys.

I have officially met the 1^st Engineer and the 2^nd Engineer. I had a drink with the 2^nd Engineer and one of the singers. Pretty cool guy and he is new to ships also. Which gave us something to talk about. I believe he is from Holland, but he has a strong accent so I had to pay real close attention to what he was saying.

I hang out with everyone it seems. Even the guys from the Philippines that work on the ship say hi to me and chat every now and then. I have been asked by one guy to help him with his camera… I like to hang out with the cast, they are all laughs and so energetic. All the musicians are fun and always interesting. The shop people are funny too. I am starting to know the bar servers better.

I almost got hit with a door today as I got out of the elevator. It was an Officer on the other side. All I could do was laugh… it just seemed typical for me to get in that situation.

So it is a lot of fun here and the guests are really fun when they open up to us. There always seems to be a couple of people here and there that make an impression on us.

Sea Day. Not much going on here. Here is a picture of dessert I had. By the way, the bread pudding there doesn’t compare to what we made at home. I drool to think of our awesome home made bread pudding and vanilla sauce.
