So long, farewell . . .
Well, I was supposed to be on the Norwegian Dawn for another
week to continue/finish the installation of the new cast; however, there was a
discrepancy with the cabin reservations and there are not enough cabins for all
of the staff to stay. Since so
much was accomplished the last week and a half (with the expectation that there
might not be any cabins for
staff), I was the least essential to stay, so I debarked today.
I was sad to leave, especially the cast, of whom I have
grown very fond. After debarking,
I had lunch with Ruben Delgado, the Production Supervisor for Norwegian
Productions, and Tiger Martina, then drove home, from Tampa, to South Florida.
While I am very tired, I clearly have my sea legs still on,
as the ground is swaying and I can’t walk normally. OY!
A big “thank you” to all of our veterans, whether at sea, on land, or in the air . . .
*Caveat – the next morning, Monday, November 12th,
while laying in bed, it felt like my bed was “rocking.” I am so used to ship living after just
12 days . . . I think I like it! I
am ready to go back out, and will resume my writing once I embark on the
Norwegian Sun. Until then, there
is much preparation to be done on terra firma . . .
