A lot people ask us \u2013 in all innocence \u2013 how long a break we have between cruises, to which we shrug, and tell them the truth: four hours. Four hours where the ship is ours, because the few guests who stay on from cruise to cruise are out enjoying the city and the new arrivals haven\u2019t boarded yet. Four hours where we can crawl back into bed, or actually manage to have breakfast\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the new guests usually find my little neck of the woods last. Everyone always gravitates to the food first, but once they <em>do<\/em> find me, the barista and I have about five minutes to look at each other and say a silent \u201chere we go again\u201d before the hordes descend.<\/p>\n<p>And then, off we go\u2026round and round again.<\/p>\n<p>There is a certain relaxation to 7 day runs, for one thing they go terribly fast, so if you\u2019re having a rough time of it you can always hold tight to the knowledge that in 7 days most of these people are going home. Of course, the frustrating part is you have to <em>retrain<\/em> all those people every week \u2013 just when I get one group of people educated in the ways of the internet system on board, they leave and I have to start all over again with a new class (now I know how teachers feel!).<\/p>\n<p>I do wish, sometimes, that people would be a little more polite about it, or pay a little more attention to what I\u2019m actually saying so that I don\u2019t have to answer the same question six times in a row\u2026but ah well, you can\u2019t have everything!<\/p>\n<p>So\u2026here we go again!
