Life on a ship

Life on the ship

• Commute time to anywhere on the ship is less than 5 minutes
• Vacuum flushes toilet, drains shower and sink. Sometimes vacuum malfunctions...hoping that the vacuum will work in the next 15 minutes
• Have to choose what to wear during the week wisely because have to choose what goes in the one load of laundry a week...to wash the towel or not
• Enjoying the 2 minute shower after a good day with sunscreen, bug repellent, sand, sweat, and wind (It is a hot shower...a wonderful surprise)
• Having introvert time...no one near by once a week (in bunk area of cabin)
• Having to choose to by alone and "miss out on something"
• Learning to be and do what you want and be ok with it as there is always many opportunities and happenings
• Cutting your conversation online short in order to make your laundry slot time
• Amazed how every inch of space is used on the ship.
• Being excited to not only get off the ship, but out of the port gate...about a mile half walk to get out of the port
• Being welcomed home by the smell of the days fish catch on the port dock and the sight of the big white ship
• Being glad to climb the gangway stairs to enter the nice air conditioned ship, walk into the dining room to get something that is already prepared to eat
• Being quiet every time you enter your cabin as someone is likely sleeping (living with nurses who work all hours)
• Being concerned one beep of your alarm will wake your bunkmate...putting the alarm under you pillow muffles the sound enough for you to hear it but not anyone else. 
• Notifying your bunkmate when you plan to get up so you are not both in the 2x2 floor in your area
• Trying to be very quiet when you step down from the top bunk in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom
• Getting skilled at getting dress while on the top bunk in the dark
