Happier and more positive news to report!
She has been on board her posh cruise liner now for a whole week – it seems like a month to both us and her! She is undergoing a very steep learning curve not only in terms of the work she has to do but also in terms of the environment and all the rules, regulations and protocol on board ship. For the first time in her life there are occasions when she has to do what she is told without question and to keep her opinions to herself!!!!! Those of you who know Meg will fully appreciate that’s not really her! I’m sure she’ll get used to it! It might take a little longer than getting used to having all her chores done for her by a personal attendant! I spoke to her last when the ship was anchored (sure you don’t moor these things!) in Sidney Harbour with the Opera House on view through the porthole in her cabin. What she had seen of Sidney she loved. Amongst the crew there are 40 different nationalities.
So ……………. lots to learn, lots to adapt to but, on the whole, things seem to be working out well.
The uniforms? Well!
You don’t get these in ‘Next’ or ‘Monsoon’!
Back to us …………………
With everything that has happened over the last few months we feel that we need a safe base for the boat to enable us to deal with things without worrying about where she is. So, we have organised a berth in Crick Marina for the foreseeable future. We will definitely cruise when we can but it won’t be the extended cruises of previous years ……… for that we will have to wait. I’m sure we will get back out onto the cut at some time during March or April. Ken, Sandra – it’s about time you visited the Leicester Line. xxoo
Coo look at her... how posh!
ReplyDeleteWhat is she doing onboard - working in hotel dept ?
ReplyDeleteI've worked on cruise ships - its not glamourous at all and very hard work - long hours and lots of politics.
Yes. Thank you for that. She is already experiencing the very long hours. Politics yet to come. I know she looks like a dinner lady in those whites but she actually in charge of HR.
ReplyDeleteStill, she's young and it will all be good life experience for her.
