A Sea Of Smiles – Venice, Italy – [09/25/2013]
So the last Venetian Ball of the season has come and gone. Photos were snapped, compliments given and champagne flowed. The night still pales in comparison to the Grand Balls that I’ve become used to over the seasons, but it … Continue reading

Discarded Masks – Venice, Italy – [09/25/2013]
Venice lies out around us like a high class lady under a satin sheet of fog. This is our last time seeing her this season, and my last time for I don’t know how long since I’m not going to … Continue reading
Shifting Gears – Venice, Italy – [09/24/2013]
So here we go. Shadow swung by the desk this morning to finish the last of her paperwork and say goodbye, and as of now is probably on her way through airport security for her flight back to the states; … Continue reading
Footloose – Agostoli, Greece – [09/22/2013]
It’s hard to believe how quickly this contract is going. Probably because I don’t want it to go quickly. Despite its ups and downs, this is one of those summer ships that I would love to last for a lot … Continue reading
Magic – At Sea – [09/22/2013]
The name Toni Warne meant nothing to me when I first heard it. I knew she’d been on television, but since I purposely don’t follow reality TV (I haven’t even watched Dancing with the Stars for ages now) I’m rather … Continue reading

Second Helpings of Turkish Delight – At Sea – [09/16/2013]
Once again I find myself rather floored by my job. Last night I was sitting in the mid-ship lounge sipping wine with my sister-in-law, today I’m leaning against my desk watching a gold-clad belly dancer ply her trade on the … Continue reading

Double Trouble – Athens, Greece – [09/16/2013]
At long long last, Alasse has finally boarded. About time, I’ve been waiting for my sister-in-law to arrive for weeks. There was a time when Amras was concerned that Alasse and I wouldn’t get along, though he doesn’t remember it … Continue reading
Tag You’re It – Athens, Greece – [09/16/2013]
Sometimes, attempting to contact someone on ship is merely a comedy of errors. Witness yesterday: Amras had IPM, I did not, so after about an hour of trying to decide whether or not I wanted to go ashore, I told … Continue reading
Overdue Updates – Athens, Greece – [09/16/2013]
This life upon the cruise ship stage Got me enraged, everyone’s always tryin’ to keep me caged Am I playin’ the music or is the music playing me? We’re rockin’ and rollin’ upon the stormy sea Every day’s a struggle … Continue reading
