End of the Line – Fort Lauderdale – [05/01/2013]
It’s the end of the World as we know it… The strangest day of any Grand contract isn’t the final sea day, it’s the debark day. Love them or hate them you’ve known these guests for four months out of … Continue reading
Against the World – At Sea – [04/28/2013]
You know how high-strung the baby gets after a performance – Gypsy Though in my case, it’s not after the performance, it’s before the performance. It’s been that way ever since I was a kid. Despite the fact that I … Continue reading
Eventide – St Lucia, Caribbean – [04/27/2013]
And so here we are, in the eventide of the season. Our last port of call is behind us and now there is nothing left to do except steam steadily homeward. Well, homeward for most of us. I can’t honestly … Continue reading

Now the Carnival Is Over – At Sea – [04/19/2013]
It wasn’t until I was starting to tear down decorations that I really clued in that tonight’s Grand Carnival Ball was the last Grand Ball I’ll be attending for nearly a year. You see, I’m not doing the Grand Asia … Continue reading
Cancelled – Georgetown, Ascension Islands/At Sea – [04/17/2013]
Of all the unexpected things that can happen on a voyage, almost the worst as far as impact on the guests is a cancelled call. The stripes do not cancel a call lightly, for one thing it’s likely massive of … Continue reading
Speechless – Georgetown, Ascension Islands – [04/17/2013]
“Sometimes there are no words. No clever quote to sum up what has happened that day. Sometimes the day just…ends” ~ Criminal Minds I do not understand the world. I have seen much of it, experienced perhaps more of it … Continue reading
