It always feels a bit strange melding into a new ship; but at the same time, it often feels like I never left.
There are, thankfully, few glitches in the workshop this voyage – with the exception of a completely terrible filing system for the handout notes – that’ll probably be my project for the next few days.
The first batch of guests is always the strangest one when you start a contract; they’re your opening night crowd- they deserve a good show. But in reality you’re still learning your lines!
But they seem to be nice enough to far. Time will tell, as it always does.
We’re heading towards Cuba, and as it turns out there is much, much more going on with getting to Cuba than I could have anticipated. All kinds of different bits of paperwork, permissions, things that need signatures. But in the end I think it will definitely be worth it.
Something else to take pictures of.
Now, if I could just get my voice adjusted to the fact that it has to be used all day again! And if I could just convince the onboard carpenters that yes, they really do need to make me that stepstool I asked for – and that the pre-made set of stairs they gave me won’t turn the trick….(I’m not short, I’m fun sized!).
I’m sure you’ll quickly have everything how you want it.
