It’s now Thursday and the fourth full day of dry dock. The ship is a mess and flooded with hundreds of contractors and pure chaos. I assume progress is happening but to me it looks as if everything looks worse. The outside of the ship has been sandblasted, engines etc are being fixed and carpet is being ripped up everywhere – like I said, pure chaos.
The last two days we haven’t worked at all – we meet at 10 a.m. and hang out until lunch at 11:30 and head out to town or to our daily adventure. One of my friends and I have been walking several miles every morning because we are sick of the grimy crew gym – the weather is cold and beautiful so it has been a great way to start every morning!
I went to a place called Miniature World yesterday which was probably a waste of time and money, but hey…these are my two weeks to play tacky tourist! Miniature World is basically little towns, fairy tales, wars and circus scenes replicated in extremely tiny form. I have pictures posted on my picture page.
We also went to the Craigdarroch Castle, which is the castle of an old coal miner. It was beautiful inside and there are also pictures of the castle posted online.
As you can see, life is pretty laid back at the moment and we are all having a great time – as soon as dry dock is over I have one four day cruise and 2-10 day cruises and I’m home!
I’ll post more as I come up with things to do!

It's SO hot in this room....
September 24, 2007
I finally got to go on my Crab Feed that I wanted to do for so long! It was an awesome excursion. We went out to the George Inlet Lodge in Ketchikan where we boarded a very small crabbing boat that took us out to the inlet where we pulled up 2 crab pots. Because we didn’t have fishing licenses, the lodge has to say the excursion is for research purposes. We pulled up the first pot and there were no crabs, but 2 extremely large starfish (approx 1-1 ½ feet across). Everyone got to hold it before we pulled up the second pot. The second pot had several crabs in it where we measured and examined the health of all the crabs included. It was nice because we only had a group of 10 people on the excursion, including me and my friend Whitney. Next, we headed back to the lodge and had an oriental salad, wine, all you can eat Dungeness crab, and blueberry cheesecake. The crab was absolutely amazing – they were huge and the meat was so sweet. There was a contest to see which table had the highest stack of crab. There were two tables of 4 and Whitney and I were at a separate table. Let’s just say we got a bit aggressive with the table next to us – for the four of them (two being teenage boys) they had 19 inches (including wine glasses stacked underneath their plate), ours was 17 inches with beer glasses underneath. It was absolutely hilarious. Everyone else was finishing their cheesecake and we were asking for more crab. Gotta love it! The cheesecake was even delicious and I don’t like cheesecake! Overall, it was tons of fun and we had a fantastic meal!
We’re in our first real day of dry dock – depends on whether or not you count yesterday. Around noon yesterday we left Vancouver after clearing off all the passengers and arrived in Victoria around 6 p.m. last night. Last night we had a big party with bingo, blackjack and music in the show lounge which was quite fun. The actual process of going into dry dock has been so neat to watch. First, as we pulled into the harbor (I guess that’s what it was) we unloaded all of the life boats and pulled them into a separate area. Then a massively large tug boat pushed us into the dock where we will spend the next two weeks. After they got us into the dock they put up the cement barricades behind the ship and begin to drain the water (think large bath tub). This morning when we woke up all the water was completely drained from the ship. We have 100’s of contractors on board that are ripping out escalators, tearing up floors and millions of other things around the ship that need to be done.
Yesterday, our job was to clean out the Entertainment Office and the entertainment lockers which only took a few hours. Today, our job was to hang up paper signs advertising the movies we’d be showing in the movie theater on board. It took a strenuous 10 minutes and we were finished with work for the day. Company money well spent J We do have Charades planned for this evening and we’re going to go into the downtown area around 3 this afternoon to see what adventure we will do today. I will keep everyone updated throughout the process.
Enjoy your week!

Ecstatic
This morning I actually heard about that great prospective contract in the works. I got the ms Statendam, which will be in Australia and New Zealand. Depending on how long they let me stay on the Stat, they also do a couple runs to Japan, Korea, and Russia - then back to Alaska.
It's actually the same class ship I work on now, so I'll know the layout and all of the hard stuff :) And, Patrick will be there (he gets there two days before I do) - he's a good friend from the ship so we are both beaming from ear to ear.
I'm so excited I can't stand it! This morning I think I wore the treadmill out because I had so much energy.
So as of now, I will be home October 31st and will depart for Brisbane, Australia on December 18th :) I'll get to bring this ship out of dry dock too, which will be neat to compare the Ryndam to the Stat.
That's all for now - I'll be seeing you all in a little less than a month and a half~!

Ok, so I didn’t make it on the Wilderness Crab Feed Excursion – hopefully this week. Apparently something happened in the Shore Excursion Dept and I ended up on the Misty Fjord Wilderness explorer tour. It was nothing near what the crab feed would have been, but it was really pretty. Not the best tour I’ve been on – a bit boring. We took a 2 hour boat ride out to the fjords (a glacially carved waterway) and tooled around there for about 20 minutes and then a 2 hour boat ride back. Definitely expected more, but again it’s one more thing I got to see, right? We did see orcas which are very rare to see in Ketchikan (and really anywhere), but there was about 6 of them around the catamaran. One of them literally came up right next to the boat, so close I could have reached out to touch him if I would have expected him.
It’s our last week in Alaska though!!!!!! We are in Juneau tomorrow morning and I’m looking forward to enjoying the last week and an afternoon off. On Sunday, we’re off to Vancouver to drop off these passengers then onto Victoria for dry dock! We are all excited about dry dock because we still get paid our daily rate, we get to wear comfortable clothes, and work for approx. 2 hours every day doing “grunt” type work (cleaning up garbage, polishing, etc). I’m ok with that – can’t complain! When we get to Victoria, we won’t be able to get off the ship for the first day and a half to two days because it takes approx 14 hours for the water to drain out of the ship (I think that’s how they explained it), and the ship to be pulled completely out of the water. I’m so excited to see the actual process and all the changes that are going to take place in a matter of 2 short weeks. I’m going to attempt to get some before and after pictures. I anticipate quite a bit of fun over the next two weeks.
I am now coming home October 31st instead of November 20th. I’ve been told there is a really good prospective contract in the works so they might end this contract early to get me onto the other contract by mid-end November. We shall see – I’ll keep you posted! This means I have two weeks in dry dock, a 4 day repositioning cruise and 2 10-day cruises to Mexico and I’ll be home!
We have about 40 kids on this cruise within the Club Hal range and 11 babies on board (that we don’t watch). I am on the kids/tween group this week because we combined groups because we only have two staff. Today, I had 18 3-12 year olds in my tiny tween room and it was crazy but tons of fun in comparison to last week with one girl who only wanted to play UNO, Guess Who and Checkers. She also didn’t talk and had no desire to listen to music. It was quite boring! So this week is keeping me on my toes and for Mexico I will be the only staff on board, so I’ll be ready J
I think that’s about all for now – I won’t have a phone for the next 2 weeks (I will, but can’t afford the international charges!!!) Please e-mail and keep in touch. Hopefully there will be a place where we have access to wireless internet. I know we have a shuttle to and from downtown Victoria and I’m sure there’s internet there.
I look forward to hearing from everyone! Have a great week!!

September 13, 2007
This week has been pretty quiet. Weather is a bit nicer, surprisingly! We had beautiful weather in Haines and I’m looking out the window right now at Juneau and it looks like another nice one. But it definitely is still cold!
On Monday they told us that they decided to send us all home for dry dock – so I got excited to be able to go home for two weeks! Then on Tuesday they decided that we had the option to stay or go. I decided to stay since I had already committed to 4 months on board and they told me I could no longer extend and stay for the 23 day Panama Canal Cruise. So, I will be home for Thanksgiving now. Unfortunately, I will be flying out of San Diego to go home the Tuesday before thanksgiving (Can anyone spell HELL!?!?) It’s going to be quite hectic, but I guess everything happens for a reason.
Yesterday in Haines I went to the Wildlife Park. There were tons of animals there such as moose, white fox, silver fox, black and red wolves, wolverine, caribou/reindeer, porcupine, a thing called a stoke (I think), and a Lemmon (I think), snow owl, goss hawk, Canadian Lynx and snow fox. Not too sure what they were all called and I didn’t have paper to write them down. There were two guys that ran this “park” of sorts – both of them make videos and movies for National Geographic and the Discovery Channel. The one guy, Steve, did a show with Katie Couric a while back. It was neat to see and touch some of these animals in person. I think there are lots of misperceptions on how they look, sound, feel and Oh my goodness how they SMELL!
I’m very excited though! Tomorrow I get to go on the tour I have been DYING to get on since I got here. It’s a Wilderness Crab feed and bake. We get to go out on a boat and “pull the pots” to see the different types of crab and then a huge crab bake afterwards. If you know me- you know that I LOVE crab (well, any type of seafood) so I’m extremely excited!
I think that’s all for now. I’ve updated all my pictures too!
Hope all is well with everyone!

Congrats!
P.S. - Congrats to my cousin Stephanie who is FINALLY engaged :)
August 31, 2008 I'll be in Hawaii :)

Brrr..It's Cold in here!
Today we started one of our two remaining cruises left in Alaska. This week is the last week where we will be starting in Seward and heading down to Vancouver. It’s also our last stop in Haines. Next week we will be doing a round trip Vancouver to Vancouver stopping only in Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. After that (September 22 through October 11th) we will be in Victoria for Dry dock, a quick four day repositioning cruise from Vancouver to San Diego, then on the 16th ( I believe) we start our 10 day runs to Mexico. I’m going to put the updated addresses at the bottom of this entry for all that want to send me fun snail mail, pictures, etc J
I can’t wait for sunshine (and a tan)! The weather here has been absolutely awful – the skies are so dark, it’s very foggy, cold, and rainy. We’ve also had really rough seas. The last three nights the swells have been between 8 and 12 feet.
Despite the bad weather, I still enjoyed this week.
Out of boredom, I went on the same excursion I did last year in Skagway – the White Pass Yukon Route Railway. It was nice to see the scenery again, but the weather was absolutely awful! You couldn’t see half of the things because of the clouds and dark skies! But I can’t complain!
Then several of us went hiking to and around Lower Dewey Lake. The lake was beautiful and it was really nice to get fresh air. It was hard because the rain made the ground and rocks very slippery! I was waiting for the moment that I fell flat on my ass, but it didn’t happen!
I hosted a table, which means on formal night I get to go into the formal dining room and sit at a table with about 10 guests. Because of the rough seas, only three were there with me. They were a great couple that had her father on with them. Since I sat with them, they get to drink free wine on the house (and so do I) J
That’s about it for now – pretty laid back week otherwise. I hope all is well with everyone!
Happy Birthday Robin!!

The Juneau address is good for another week.
I don’t have one for the two weeks I’m in Victoria.

I hate the rain...
Can you believe it is September already? I know I can’t! I also can’t believe that I only have 3 cruises left in Alaska then it is onto dry dock for two weeks in Victoria then on down to Mexico. The weather is starting to get a bit nastier here – raining a lot more, very cloudy, humid and getting pretty cold (I’m sorry Mom...I know it’s hot there!). I still love Alaska, but I’m ready for a TAN!
Last week was fantastic! I got two really great excursions and truly enjoyed both of them. In Juneau, I did what they call the “Best of Juneau” Tour. We went out to the Mendenhall Glacier by bus, which I’ve done before – but the part I was most excited about was the whale watching! We piled onto a catamaran in Auke Bay and took it out into the Canal where we saw the Herbert and Eagle Glaciers, tons of Stellar Sea Lions and several Humpback Whales. As soon as we reached the Canal there were 3 humpbacks feeding about 100 feet from the boat. They stayed with us for quite a while – it’s incredible how large they are! I’m going to find a way to get the video to you all - you can hear the blows and see how close they were to us. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any breaching (where they jump out of the water), but it was so cool to have them so close to us. After we did the whale watching, we went out to an Alaskan Salmon Bake. The food was so delicious! They made the salmon fresh on a “grill” right there for us with a brown sugar glaze on it...the kind that’s so good you want to lick the plate! (I bought two packs to send home...we’ll be having it whenever I do make it home!) There was the real cornbread, baked beans, Ceasar salad with salmon on top and fresh fruit – best way to describe it was YUM! After we ate, there was a waterfall that you could walk to which was beautiful! A great day!
On Friday in Ketchikan I went Ziplining, which was by far my favorite excursion yet and I’m definitely going when we are in Victoria and Costa Rica! There was a total of 7 ziplines ranging from 300 to 750 feet across and 80 to 135 feet above the ground. On one of the ziplines we got up to around 35 MPH. There were also 3 suspension bridges that we walked across – the highest one at 135 feet! Ziplining was awesome – the scariest part for me was when they had us waiting on these platforms in trees so high up in the air, but it was worth it! I have videos of the ziplining too, when I figure out how to get those on here – I’ll let you know! The suspension bridges were a bit nerve-wracking too – swinging in the air so high above the ground, but while we were on the highest one we saw a Momma bear with 3 bear cubs fishing for salmon in the creek below us. Anyways – highly recommend this if you ever get the opportunity!! After we climbed down from the last tree, I saw a real reindeer too – much hairier than expected!
This week has actually been really quiet – only 2 kids on board but neither has come to any programming. They are a bit older (I believe 11 and 12) so I guess it’s not their thing anyways. We’ve been doing inventory and organizing everything up in Club Hal so we don’t have to do it over Dry Dock and we can enjoy being in Victoria!
I hope all is well with everyone! I need people to send me some pictures via snail mail – I forgot to bring all but two with me – so help me out J My address is posted at the beginning of this blog – but that’s the address only for another 3 weeks. I’ll post the San Diego address soon!

What’s the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts?
Beer nuts are $1.50 and deer nuts are under a buck. Hehehehehe...I love it!
