10-30-25 Sea Day Escapades
I am very frustrated that for some reason last night’s post is in a loop and it will post out of order eventually, or I will have to redo it, but at this point, I am moving on.
I was up at a decent time and Wendy messaged me to join her for breakfast. She had a lovely spot beside the window and I had a lobster. Benny was amazing. We hung out for the morning, including going to sessions about the transition from this cruise to the next one as I learned I am actually on the back-to-back cruise and when Wendy and her crew and Ginger and Glynn get off in Barcelona, that will be the end of the first leg of the trip. When I come back to the ship after my day in Barcelona, I will be having a stamp in my passport and officially have left the EU, even though it is weird because we are still going to Seville and Tenerife that are part of the EU.
Did I mention that I actually bought a Lego Vespa on ship? It seemed like the perfect souvenir for me. I have also begun to take pictures of the crew members that have been especially kind and remember me and we hug and have relationship even if it’s surface. I will recommend them because it does matter towards their trajectory in their jobs on board.
I actually did a lot of things today, including bingo game and food with friends, got a few payroll done for back home, met Wendy for a dinner, my treat at the crown grill where we had some great deeper conversations and a man proclaiming to be a matchmaker said there was a guy at the bar that I needed to meet and it turns out it’s the same person that the bartender said several months ago I needed to meet. Unfortunately, we met tonight and he leaves the ship Saturday morning. He’s from outside of Toronto and kind of my type but I’m not sure entirely that he was interested however, I found it interesting that two different people wanted me to find my someone. After Wendy left to go to bed and I had a beverage at the bar chatting with that gentleman I decided to head to the masquerade ball where we are encouraged to wear black and while I was standing there watching one of the lovely crew members recognize me and drew me out onto the dance floor where I had a little fun and as I was heading back to the elevators to go to my room, a tall, gorgeous woman stop me rearrange my outer layer to show more push the girls up into business and said there you go. It was truly an awesome moment. It was a shame that I was just getting a little later and heading back to my room because she clearly saw something in me.
