One of my craziest weeks on board when my very first roommate from nearly 10 years ago came to cruise. Emily and I were a disaster together then and we are a disaster together now, haha but I had a blast. We did a lot of excursions and I was running on very little sleep but it was worth it.

Emily and I are planning to go to Vegas together. It's going to be a disaster!
Now I don't know how I ended up with so many South African friends but South Africans and Canadians always seem to get along. And one of mine and my friends' favorite ports is St. Maarten, this time around we found a new spot for food and drinks.
Also had a chance to catch up with one of my dear old friends in Ocho Rios, Jamaican (his home town) when we were in port. Invited him over to tour the ship and I got these awesome shots.
And of course we can't forget the crew favorite of Cozumel, Mexico. We haven't been there in 6 months and the island has grown significantly; new businesses, restaurants and more cruise ship traffic. The owner of Fat Tuesday was nice enough to throw a Thanksgiving Party for us when 4 of our ships were docked, it was so nice to catch up with old friends.
We had a rare late night call to Aruba just before holidays and we had an opportunity to wonder around. It was lovely to do some shopping and to watch the day into the night. The island was already decorated for Christmas and it looked lovely!
And in the spirit of the holidays, we also had our fabulous Christmas Tree up in the lobby.
I had one last opportunity to hit the beach before going home. Grand Turk is wonderful as the beach is right off the pier. Chanel and I brought our adult sippy cups and off we were.

My actual birthday I spent with a few good friends in Miami having unlimited all you can drink mimosas. It was a perfect and lovely way to finish off my 13th contract.
Even though I consumed bottomless mimosas for 5 hours, I still managed to get to the Miami airport on time. I didn't get a chance to eat and there was no food on the plane so I did what every reasonable person would do, I kept drinking ;)
I arrived home safe in one piece, filled out my immigration paperwork all wrong, got my luggage, had my bestie pick me up and rolled up in my warm and sweet home. The next day my niece, the love of my life woke me up. I unpacked, did my laundry, packed again and made my way to Poland.
Oh the life of a seafarer :)
