Day Three (3)
I have made it three days as crew here on the Carnival Fascination. I cannot really remember the past three days and sometimes I am not able to find my way back to my cabin through the crew quarters. Living on ships and sailing on ships are two COMPLETELY different experiences.
So far I am loving the camp carnival program. For the next few weeks I am working with the 2-5 year old program. I am happy to be back in my element with my favorite age group. All of the staff members I work worth are very loving and kind. They are taking me under their wing to make sure I am relaxed and having a good time.
I have been working about 11 hours a day with breaks in between. The lack of sleep and amount of information I need to know is keeping me as exhausted as possible!! I am going to miss weekends off so much!!
Sunday night I joined the crew at the crew bar and as it was formal night last night so all the girls dressed up in our finest attire and headed to the disco! It was a great night and added some “normalcy” back into my life.
Today I have the pleasure of getting the heck off this boat for a couple of hours to venture out around Grand Turk (Turks and Caicos). I am really excited to see the beaches and actually feel the sun shinning down on me rather than watching it from our playroom window!
This is short and sweet but I wanted to at least let everyone know that I am adjusting well in my new position and I am taking it one day at a time adjusting to my new life as a crew member. I really miss my friends and family a lot, and its only been three days since I talked to them. I don’t know how often I will have access to the Internet but I promise to blog as much as possible. I am hoping to get my US phone set up this Saturday in Jacksonville but it will depend if I am able to get off the ship. Saturday may actually end up being a busy day since I hear I am already switching cabins and there is a new crew member signing on (She’s a Canadian! That means she\s my pizzano (sp?), in crew lingo a person from my country!)
Until Next time!!! I am headed to the beach to soak up some rays for all you Canadians!!!
Yeah Bridie, you'll be working long hours. You'll catch your rhythm eventually and it won't seem so tough. I really admire your bravery and independence. People tend to miss people when the don't readily have access to them. In not so many words - I miss you too. Take care. -Dwane-
