embark day and isolation

July 14, 2013: Venice
Meghna was up early this morning because she was sick. While I went to the entertainment department meeting at 10:15, she went to the Medical Center. I got back to the room and immediately got a call from the crew doctor saying that Meghna’s been quarantined in the infirmary and I’ve been isolated for 24 hours. So, tomorrow at 10, they’re going to call to check if I’ve shown any symptoms; if not, then I’m free. But what am I to do until then?! It’s been less than an hour and I’m already bored. The TV in our room doesn’t work, and I only have a few movies on my computer that people have lent me. I guess it’s going to be a day of sleeping now.

It’s the first day of the cruise too, so Club HAL is down two staff for Open House and the first night. This also means that I can’t get off the ship at all this time in Venice, because all aboard will probably be 11 tomorrow which would only give me an hour once I’m cleared to leave the room.

The day was pretty boring. I slept, watched a few movies, stared at the wall, got room service, talked to people on the ship’s phone, and wasted about half of the remaining time on my internet card. Not a fan of being isolated.
