Hello again,
After twenty one days of being in install on the ship we have finally opened all three of our shows the install team has left and I have freedom now. It was such a long process this time compared to my last contract because well instead of two shows I have three. Also, the theatre has been having so many technical difficulties even before we got here that it was very difficult to be able to run through a show without something technically going wrong. To top that off the ocean down under is bonkers and we have no stabilizers on this ship which makes it hard to stand or walk therefore dancing and trying to be good at it is pretty ridiculous.
But… we made it through! All opening nights of our shows went great! Unfortunately we have been so busy I haven’t been able to enjoy getting off of the ship in all of the ports, but the places I have been so far were awesome. I think the first time I got of the ship was in Dunedin, New Zealand but I only had about 45 minutes before I had to get back on board so I called my mom and sister checked in real quick. From what I saw of New Zealand on the ship was beautiful, just cliffs, and hills, and greenery. Then we passed through a couple of sounds one days that was absolutely gorgeous, cliffs of green beauty, waterfalls… I just found myself so impressed with the world that day. The next port I got off in was Melbourne, Sydney which was awesome super cute and trendy, nice architecture. Great coffee spots, the weather that day was cooler which reminded me of home. Last week I got off in Perth, Australia and it was super cool, so trendy. I wish I had more time there but unfortunately the cruise before had a lot of sick guest so we spent that morning cleaning the whole ship before the new guest arrived and that ended up taking up quite a bit of time. Now moving onto yesterday’s port in Bali; It was so awesome it was my first day off and first day being out of install. I really wanted to ride elephants in Bali because I love them first of all and if I’m gonna ride an elephant I would prefer it to be in the jungle of Bali. So a couple friends and I adventured out of the port to and Elephant camp that was beautiful and peaceful, the elephants were a little different than I was used to they had more hair and were a little smaller but still super awesome. For some reason I thought the ride would be a little more graceful but I should have known better sitting on top of an elephant while she walked downhill wouldn’t be that smooth. It was so cool and the people taking us around we so nice and fun too. After our ride they gave us lunch and we had to head back to the ship. It was kind of far away so we didn’t have much time to do anything else but we did see a lot in the car ride. Some other people went to a monkey forrest and the monkeys just crawled all over them especially when they had bananas! We get to go back to Bali in March so I might do that next time.
So far the ship has been great, and I really like most people here. I’ve been trying to take more pictures most of them are all on my Facebook if ya want to check them out. But there’s my update for ya.
I’m so excited to continue this adventure I already have a few plans for the next stops, I’ll be sure to write about them.
Until next time,
xoxo
