The Caribbean (Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico)

I'm happy to tell you that I'm doing well and I finally have the opportunity to upload some pictures of the last three weeks. So less text this time ;-)

I'm enjoying my time on the ship and I'm planning to have another fabulous 17 weeks here.

So this is the Navigator of the Seas. The longer I live on this ship the more I love it. It truely has become my new and lovely home.

Labadee, Haiti. It was a very beautiful day, hot and sunny. Labadee is an island that is owned by Royal Caribbean so I don't know if you could really call it Haiti or Royal Caribbean...

A random house I saw in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Both times I was there it was hot, humid and beautiful. People are very friendly and open and easygoing. There is absolutely no rush when you are in Jamaica.

This is my room. Yes, messy as always. I'm sharing it with a girl from Canada. She will be done with her contract in a week and Andrea from California will be moving in.

This is the kind of food I get about twice a cruise. The rest of the time I eat at the staff mess which doesn't have that kind of nice food. I love sushi and cannot get enough of it.

I thought it was funny that they pack carts at a store called MEGA in Mexico for the costumers so they don't have to go through the whole store to get what they need but just have it all together at once! What a great idea. And very convenient for the costumers.

First Impressions

It has been almost two weeks now that I have been on board the Navigator of the Seas and I can tell you that it has been a full two weeks. My first day here, March 13th 2010, everything was a little too much for me. The ship is big, there are many people living on board, and there are way too many things I had to remember. I have been through a lot of training which is additional to my full days of working. At the beginning it was really hard for me to stay awake because of my jet lag and because of all the new impressions that were overwhelming me. Looking back at the first two weeks I'm glad I made it this far. I have already met lots of nice people who have helped me to adapt quickly to my new home. Unfortunately, I can't upload pictures yet since the computers on the ship don't allow it. Still, I hope to do so soon so you have a better idea of where I am and what I'm doing. I'm always happy about emails so feel free to write me or leave a comment on this side.
