So, another sea day here on the Silver Spirit before we reach Fort Lauderdale, USA. The ship will have it's naming ceremony and we will have all these important people onboard, functions etc. Anyways, so I am going to tell you a little bit about my room-mate who I have been lucky to work with the past two contracts, she is from Brazil, her name is Joyce and she has been in the tour department longer than me but hasn't completed quite as many contracts. We share alot of laughs, you would have to when your cabin is the size of a box. Lucky for me I have the bottom bunk, but each morning/afternoon when I need to get up, no need for an alarm clock as I will hear a thump as Joyce jumps down from her bunk bed. Lucky for me we are on different schedules, I am a bit of a party animal so I am not in the cabin after 11pm and she loves her bed so she is there when I leave for the crew bar. We are like an old married couples at time, I give her a hard time with my sarcasm and comments but she is learning to dish it right back! All I can say it that I am tremendously lucky to have her as a room-mate because even though not much time is spent there in the cabin because you are working most of the time, it is important to be living with someone who respects you, and vice versa. I have had many room-mates over the years, each been very unique which makes it interesting, most of them I have clicked with because I am fairly easy to get along with.....
So big day tomorrow around the ship, looking forward to doing a little retail therapy as I lived in the US for 9 years, the Australian Outback Restaurant is calling my name, Bloomin onion, watch out!
