Well, kids, we boarded the Zuiderdam this morning at 8am. We are unpacked and amazingly it all fit into the inside cabin on deck 5. As long as we don’t spend too much time in here with no sunlight we will be just fine. I have visions of Jack Nickelson in The Shining.
My Room Mate
The ship is beautiful and the passengers on board are enjoying getting lost and looking for matches. I can see that our desk position is such that we will be giving directions and advice as much as we will be booking future cruises. Scary thought since this is my first time on the ship as well.
All of the crew we met so far have been most gracious and welcoming with offers of help if we need any. There is a whole ship culture on board that will be very interesting to learn. The sociologist in me is intrigued and I am looking forward to being part of it.
Michael at Our Desk
Bye for now. We are off to the medical office to turn in our physical forms and then to the safety class. We have an environmental class to do tomorrow and a few other requirements before we actually get our id’s. Not sure if they throw us overboard if we don’t pass or not. Will advise!
