A Typical Day at Sea on a Cruise Ship

It's Cruise Ship Saturday and we're talking about sea days!

I hear the question a lot.

"Will I get bored at sea?"

Only you know what amount of activity required to keep you from getting bored. Take a look at a ship's paper that outlines everything going on for the day. (You can find the Google doc version of the pages HERE.)

So what do you think? Will you be bored?

As for me, plop me in front of a window with my computer and I can write all day.

The Friday 15

Collapsible containers and patterns and vinyl lettering and journals and clothes. A veritable smorgasbord of donations! And another 15 items are gone from my house.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

I've been watching coverage of the volcano eruption in Hawaii with great interest. We've been to Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii several times. We've seen steam rising from the crater; we've seen lava flowing at night.
They are always under the threat of potential eruption, but now the threat is real. Here's hoping beauty will continue to abound after the lava stops flowing.

I totally agree. Does a cutlery roll make it even better? Maybe, if you can whip one up like in today's tutorial.

Disembarking a Cruise Ship

It's Cruise Ship Saturday! Today we're talking about disembarkation.

The morning you leave the ship - disembark - can be hectic. It's not like just checking out of a hotel room so remember to read the paperwork delivered to your cabin beforehand. It tells you everything you need to know.

Here is a sample of the info-packed paperwork from a recent cruise. The link in Google docs can be found HERE.

Remember to:
  • Pack your patience along with your carry-on.
  • Keep medications and documentation with you.
  • Remove items from the safe.
  • Be out of the cabin when requested.
  • Enjoy the last of the cruise ship meals.
  • Wait in a nice location before going to the assigned lounge.
  • Have your cruise card ready for scanning.
  • Collect your luggage in the terminal.
  • Have passports ready for customs.
  • Be on time for arranged transportation and allow plenty of time to get to the airport.
And then start planning for your next cruise!
