And so starts my last week on the Zuiderdam!!

April 8, 2013: Ft. Lauderdale
The last two sea days of the cruise were pretty boring, as usual. So, nothing really to report.
Charlotte and I got up early and did some shopping before hurrying back to the ship for work. I had to work open house which basically meant I read and listened to music for two hours until two families showed up.
It was a kind of busy afternoon after open house, I had to do wristbands, then quickly went up to text Mom and Dad until the entertainment department meeting at 4. By the time the pointless meeting ended, we were almost already out of the port.

The night went by really really slowly. None of the teens showed up, so I ended up just sitting in the Loft playing Lego Harry Potter and doing sudokus and reading. Chrissy came by when they closed Club HAL and said I could just leave at 11 if no one had shown up by then. No one did, so I got to leave early.

April 9, 2013: Half Moon Cay
It was Charlotte’s birthday, so after I got off work (I dug a huge hole in the sand with one of the kids, and made a volcano, haha) I joined her, and a few others on the beach. We had snacks: chips and brownies and mini-cakes, and the cast invited us to play volleyball with them. I just took pictures. It was pretty fun, but I had to leave early since I was scheduled to work at 2 and wanted a quick lunch beforehand. I had 15 minutes to change, run upstairs and get food before work because they wouldn’t let crew on the tender for a while. I ended up taking my pizza upstairs and eating it in the Loft. No one came this afternoon, so I did a lot of sudokus, read, and gave instructions on how to get to the library/Crow’s Nest. It was a pretty boring afternoon to be honest. I had dinner with Erich (videographer) and Jessie then went down to the room to shower and get all the sand off of me finally. I went to visit Charlotte and helped her shelve books until I had to get back to the Loft. Again, no one showed up so I played Lego Harry Potter, then went to the show with Chrissy and Kassie before going back to close up the Loft. I can already tell it’s going to be a strange week.
