Last cruise was really a walk in the park. Super nice for my first cruise of the contract. The thing is, with Alaska cruises, you never have any real idea how things are going to go crowd wise. You\u2019re either going to be super popular, or you\u2019ll be the most overlooked office on the ship \u2013 reduced to using your class time to read more novels (yups, have had cruises where that happens! Is because of the long port days).<\/p>\n
This cruise, is not shaping up to be that way. This cruise, is shaping up to be one of the busy ones.<\/p>\n
20+ people in each class so far the first sea day. Four couples in full size electric scooters that take up the entire aisle and make it rather difficult to zip around helping people (it\u2019s a small room, and the people are super sweet! But it is an awkward situation to say the least)<\/p>\n
Three computers without access to the demo account which renders them useless, one instructor laptop that wasn\u2019t left in proper condition to teach with and has to be hotspotted off of one of the guest machines in order to achieve the required internet access, and one guest terminal that won\u2019t launch several applications. Plus, one instructor laptop without the necessary OS updates that render it useful as a backup machine, a personal machine that doesn\u2019t have the HDMI input jack I thought<\/em> it did when I bought it (my fault there, but thankfully not necessary), and one broken store application that means half of my apps are not getting updated at all..<\/p>\n And a voice that is showing signs of giving out despite my attempting to use as much in the way of theatrical projection technique as I have in my head\u2026<\/p>\n I\u2026am a very busy girl\u2026<\/p>\n Fortunately I like it that way\u2026and it\u2019s a different kind of busy than it used to be. I\u2019m on the move constantly, but believe it or not, I\u2019m not stressed out. Very different from the time I\u2019ve spent on the flagship in the past. She and I are\u2026getting to know each other again so to speak\u2026<\/p>\n And I think, I\u2019m going to be okay with welcoming her back into my life on a more regular basis\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last cruise was really a walk in the park.
