I made it to Seattle and found my way to my lovely hotel, the Sea-Tac Marriott.
After some room service I was off to bed anxious for the day to come…
There is so much to learn on a ship! My head is filled with endless new facts and information. I know it will all settle in shortly, but mixed with the time change, colder weather, motion of the boat, confusing corridors and stair ways, new people and new jobs it has been a crazy and exhausting couple of days.
Yesterday was a seaday, between Seattle and Juneau (which is where I am now) and I suffered some unexpected sea sickness all day! The boat was rocking and walking a straight line was impossible at some points, I didn’t think such a huge ship would move so much. I worked in the gallery facing windows and that didn’t help at all! Luckily my schedule allowed for a couple hours to lie down, especially because I did restaurant shots for a couple hours of formal night.
For all of you who think I’m on vacation, CUSS NO! This is seriously hard work…think of the parts of Gladiator after Russell Crowe becomes a slave and then a gladiator. Absolutely brutal. However everyone is lovely, and helpful and understanding and fun so that is not a problem at all. I did join at the most hectic moment, but come autumn when I’m in Hawaii I’ll be able to really enjoy island life.
Some more point form tid-bits:
- The uniform isn’t THAT bad, even the formal wear
- My Hushpuppies are actually SO comfortable
- The food is really good in the passenger buffet that we are allowed to eat in
- Drinks really are cheap!!!!
- EVERYONE is Filipino.
- My room is tiny, but comfy.
- ICK Nikon
- I won’t be able to leave the ship until next cruise L
- There’s lots of funny stuff…
Oh, by the way, this morning I was dressed as an orca for a couple hours...
Yeah so, this is very abridged. There is just absolutely toooooooooooo much to possible even start to explain. Good thing I am a high evolved and intelligent person.
Miss you all! More pictures as I take them
LOVE
