Next Stop ...

So the other day I emailed my supervisor at the head office in Miami to see which ships would be available come the time I would want to return from vacation in March. As it turns out there were 9 ships available at different times through out March that I could go to. I originally said that if I couldn't get a ship out of Australia or LA, that this could possibly be my last contract. 

The ships available were Fantasy (out of Charleston), Paradise (out of Tampa - already been on there) Victory (out of Miami), Glory (Miami), Freedom (Fort Lauderdale) Dream (Port Canaveral), Valor (the one I'm on at the moment duhhhh) the Magic (Galveston) and…

Imagination - OUT OF LOS ANGELES!!!! 

It either does 3 and 4 day cruises or 4 and 5 day cruises I can't remember the moment but it goes to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. So basically everyone who comes on these ships is going on there for a booze cruise and they're there to party!! I could really only pin point 2 downfalls on this one as of right now: the turn around with 4 and 5 day cruises means a lot of debarks, and having to do tender boats at Catalina Island and I can definitely learn to work around those. 

Needless to say, I emailed him back saying that I would LOVE to do the Imagination so I've currently signed up for that. I'm just waiting for a confirmation email to say that I would sign on there on March 2nd. As of right now I'm super excited about it, but I also kind of want to see how I feel when I get home. Some of you may remember that quite a few entries ago I was arranging my vacation around the Olympics so it works out perfectly that I would sign on March 2nd, right after the Olympics end on February 23. 

The adventure isn't quite over yet, folks. Buckle up!

OH speaking of buckling up - actually not sure how I'm segueing into this BUT I'm quite angry about something at the moment. I tried to wire money from my JP Morgan account where all of my pay goes. As a non-american working on the ship I can't have direct deposit so you're given one of these accounts and you can use your card worldwide, it acts as a Mastercard. I've been checking everyday and the money that I tried to wire to my bank account is still not there, so at the moment there is quite a chunk of money just floating around cyberspace somewhere that needs to make it back to my bank account in Canada. If it's not there by Sunday, I'll definitely be giving somebody a piece of my mind. /rant.
