We Made It To The Ship
We’ve been cruising on the ship now for about 4 hours. How on earth this ship floats with all the people, food, alcohol, etc. I have no idea! But wow is it nice! So many places to eat, drink, listen to music, dance, not to mention the hot tubs, shopping, spa, pool, running track, climbing wall…it’s never ending. I’m actually looking forward to a full day of cruising so I can catch up on some reading and sleeping. Hope is looking forward to a workout and maybe a massage.
Right now i’m at the Schooner Bar which is one of the wifi hotspots on the ship – it seems these spots are conveniently located where alcohol flows…but not freely if you know what I mean. But they are not pressuring me to buy anything so that is bonus!
There’s a fellow singing Neil Diamond right now – he’s quite good and yes, I’ve been known to hum a sing or two of his! Speaking of music, I’ve come to see how music brings us all together. Everywhere you go over hear you hear all the music we listen to in North America. Even our 50 year old taxi driver today, who didn’t speak any English, spoke to us about music, referring to the songs that were playing on his radio on our short ride to the cruise terminal. He liked Van Halen, ELO, Rod Stewart…it was pretty cool relating to each other through radio tunes.
Ah, must go check on my travel partner. I’m sure she is enjoying her hour away from me! haha
Ciao for now
PS we are now 7 hrs ahead until next Sunday when those of you back home all move your clocks back.

Details, we want details! …. aaaahhhh, I remember it well, it was 1975, mind you (and I was 3 — ha, ha), when 3 single Canadian girls “cruised” the Mediterranean, but if I recall… the crew were much more interesting than the passengers … and the ship was amazing, too! PS – you can sleep when you get back home … don’t miss a minute of the fun!
I wish I had some super exciting details for you, but we’ve actually been really tame on this trip! For the most part, the crew on the ship have been really fun – all smiles and a lot of joking around. But they are all 22 years old so of course they are still happy…and making mega-tips!! We haven’t taken in much of the nightlife; I think karaoke night was the only night we stayed out moderately late-ish. Anyway, please keep reading and commenting!! We love the comments and knowing who is following along with us. Cheers and chat soon!
Sounds like the boat or is it a ship is like a little city, are there any hunky good looking single guys on board. A little shipboard romance would be in order for both of you. Next port of call would be where? Keep me informed so I can live vicariously through your blog.
