Hey, guys!
I wanted to be able to email more often, but beaches and internet rates (and the job) have made them less frequent. Sorry. Here's the rundown:
*We're repositioning to the Caribbean this week. I went into Boston for the last time today. Our home port will now be San Juan, Puerto Rico.
*My room steward's name is Antonio. He makes my bed every day, gives me clean towels every day, and even makes sure I don't run out of toilet paper. I love that he is here.
*My roommate Annie signed off last week, and just as I was really starting to enjoy living alone, Mihaela from Romania moved in. She has been a hostess, and has two months to go. She isn't messy like Annie, but she has tons of stuff. She has 26 lipsticks, and she has them all standing up on a shelf in the room!
*My lead, Kristen, also signed off last week, and her replacement is Lisa. She's really cool. Unlike Kristen, she socializes with Stephanie and me. Steph and I are getting along better. She still complains about stuff, but she's getting used to this place.
*My friend Laura is a sous chef, and she's now assigned to the staff mess. The first night, the food was so much better than it had been, we all applauded when she walked into the room.
*Bermuda is so beautiful. I went on the bus by myself the other day to Horseshoe Bay to snorkel, and even the trip was lovely. I'll miss it, but I hear the Caribbean is even better.
*I've also heard the other companies treat their employees better. Whether it's with NCL or someone else, I think I might want to do this again. I always feel so crunched for time when I write (I know I should write it out in advance), but I am having such a great time out here. The people I've met are great, and it's such a great experience. It feels great to be out of my cocoon. I miss you all, though. Don't think I don't. I'm not really homesick, but there have been times when I really could have used a hug from one of you. Someone who has known me for more than 5 weeks.
My love and best wishes to you all.
