First couple days on the ship!

Well I can honestly say everything is even greater on board than I expected! Sometimes I wonder how I get so lucky! My first two days have been great! The ship is beautiful, and very elegant, as well as all the passengers lucky enough to be spending their holiday here. There are 7 of us working with the teens, 3 Canadian, and 4 British.

I am sharing my room with Nicola from Northern England, she plays professional soccer and is about to become a police in London. She is so nice and fun! The best part about our room is we are in a passenger cabin! Not a small one either, when I saw it I could not believe my eyes! We have an OCEAN VIEW!!! It is amazing! Since we are the seasonal youth staff, and they ran out of crew cabins, we were placed here. So for the next 5 weeks I have room service, a wonderful big window looking out to sea, and a cozy white robe and slippers! Talk about luxury!

There are 6 of us working on the ship with the teens, but hardly any children! The teen center is filled with big screens, PS3's, Wii's, and Rock bands! We were told right away that we would never have to work a port day, which means I can see every city on the itinerary!!! We will also be working very minimal, if you even call it work!? Today, for example I started at 4pm, and held a one hour tennis tournament for the teens, at 9:30 we held a scavenger hunt around the ship, then we went to watch the show in the theater! We haven’t received our I.D. cards yet which meant we couldn’t get off the boat today in Belgium, which was a little disappointing, but I was so tired I slept in until 1:30.

So coming up…. Poland, Sweden, Finland, and Estonia! I found out we can sign up to go on any of the day tours for free! This is great because they need crew to report on the quality of the tour each time. I am stoked because some tours cost hundreds of dollars, I will be taking full advantage of this for sure!!!

Hope everyone is doing well! Miss you xox
