Greetings from the friendly island! I hope all of my northern friends are enjoying their snow storms. It seems that you are in the middle of the storm of the century every turnaround day and I sail through it. It’s time for that to stop. If it makes you feel […]

Greetings from San Juan…again. I like it here…which is good since I seem to always be here. After today I won’t be back for two solid weeks. I will miss you Puerto Rico. I know I just posted 3 days ago, but the last three days have felt like an […]

Hey all! I’m actually in my normal spot on turnaround day. Nice to be back to my old routine. This probably won’t last though- I’m expecting visitors for 3 out of the 4 next turnarounds. I’d rather have visitors than my bank and wifi. I’m not quite sure what to […]

Welcome back. After what seems like another extremely long hiatus, I am able to post again. Early in my contract I would typically post on turnaround days in New Jersey, but I was shopping during my last turnaround day- yet another shore leave in the states shortened, but that’s another […]

Welcome back friends, family, and strangers. It has been awhile since you’ve heard from me. I’m still around, but I’ve been a little busy. I’m back in San Juan today on my first cruise after dry dock. Dry dock was…crazy. In the weeks and months prior to dry dock everyone […]

I had trouble posting again…I’m in Sint Maarten today and all of the commands are in Dutch! I really need to memorize the order of these buttons… The Christmas cruise has been going well. I wasn’t too sad on Christmas day. As I mentioned before, I saw my family a […]

Christmas came early this year. Instead of the traditional December 25th, my Christmas was five days early on the 20th. That’s the day my family came to see me. Not everyone has a family that would drive 12 hours on icy roads for a 3 hour visit…but I do. A […]

I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to post anything tonight or not. I’m in San Juan, Puerto Rico and my menu options were displaying in Spanish…I should have paid more attention in high school I guess…or while Seni was yelling last year… I finally got an English menu so […]

Well, the last 6 days were just as full as the first 6. I did find a church to go to in Barbados. I walked into the cruise terminal in the morning, found the information desk, told the lady I wanted to go to church, and I walked out a […]

I’m sitting in a coffee shop in Roseau, Dominica. It’s my first time here I think this may be an excursion port from here on for me. Immediately off the pier is “downtown.” There are only 2 stores in this port that are guaranteed by the ship- most ports have […]

What a week. This was my first 8 day cruise and it feels like a whole month has passed. It felt way longer than the 9 day cruises I’ve done. I was bored on days 1 and 2, but the busiest I have been on days 3 through 8. I’ve […]
