Someone keeps stealing my bible. Well, not literally of course. But someone keeps taking my schedule from my box in the office. All the time. Nearly every day. And it *isn’t me*. This is incredibly annoying, because I obviously need … Continue reading

Here Comes the Sun – Georgetown, Grand Cayman – [11/12/2018]
I’m sure it hasn’t completely escaped notice that I’ve been quiet this contract. That’s mostly because I don’t really have all that much to report! With the exception of Cuba, I’ve been to all these ports before, so I’ve been … Continue reading

Time Travel – Havana, Cuba – [11/05/2018]
After all the trouble of getting here, all the hassle of the last few days. I didn’t know what to expect…. And yet…the world sometimes totally surprises you in the best possible way. When you first step out into Havana … Continue reading

Expectations – At Sea – [11/04/2018]
So far…I’m afraid to say that this contract has not precisely lived up to my expectations. This is a nice ship, but she’s much older and smaller than I’m used to (the flagship is one size up from this one) … Continue reading

Purple Stripes and Shadow’d Hearts – Cozumel, Mexico – [10/31/2018]
“Come little children, the time’s come to play.” ~ Hocus Pocus I will say this: once a performer, always a performer. Having Halloween fall on the second day of my contract is not, perhaps, the easiest thing. The truth is, … Continue reading

Bountiful – Suva, Fiji – [12/06/2017]

To the Land Down Under – Darwin, Australia – [11/15/2017]
So long Asia…g’day Australia. Ever since I read Bill Bryson’s In A Sunburnt Country, I’ve formed a funny opinion about Australia. With the world’s deadliest snakes, jellyfish, sharks, riptides and spiders – it seems to be the only country on … Continue reading
Universally Blessed – Singapore, Singapore – [11/07/2017]
I am remembering swiftly that the best thing about working long cruises is the utterly amazing days where you get to play hooky. And this was not something that happened to me a lot on my previous job, in fact, … Continue reading
Laugh Until We Cry – Hong Kong Disneyland, Hong Kong – [11/01/2017]
See it in your mind and you will find your imagination Mysteries and magic Visions fantastic I’m a hard sell on the idea of “the perfect day” but some days? Some days make that rating.. A perfect sun-spilled day, with … Continue reading
