Cruise Ship Diaries Part 16
After the shitshow that was the Christmas cruise the new year one was slightly better, as I'd also got that shot of adrenaline where I'd received my signing off date. This is the day that you get to go home and as I'd become disillusioned and completely burnt out seeing that light at the end of the tunnel helps get you over the finish line.

Businessmen Guide to Visiting Switzerland
Switzerland is a land of many wonders, including its marvellous nature and landscape, diverse population, and infinite opportunities. Swiss is a federative country that contains 26 cantons, each representing an independent region. What is particularly interesting is that every township speaks a different language depending on the percentage of people speaking it. National languages in use are German, Italian, French, and Romansh. This specific characteristic proves that diversity is a primary thing in Switzerland.

Crew turnover in the cruise industry is massive and as much as head office would like to have the same team in place for a whole season, rotations made that nigh on impossible. Halfway through my first contract I was about to work with my third different photo manager in a matter of months, I was also about to get my third roomate of the contract as Morne was about to be transhipped.

Cruise Ship Diaries Part 11
Heather had been lucky enough to do a helicopter shoot of the canal which we were all excited by the potential of the footage, however when we saw the footage it was extremely shaky and there wasn't much of it. This was disappointing because the plan was to make that footage into another DVD that we could package and sell as additional content, the bad news was because hiring a helicopter is expensive it took months before head office gave us permission to try it again and I must have bugged the shit out of Heather about getting the chance to do it the next time.

Cruise Ship Diaries Part 12
As had been established Panama was the longest day of the cruise, not bceause you would be working the whole time but because of the sheer amount of hours you would be off the ship. My old roommate Raj and my new roommate Morne were mates who had worked together before and this time the schedule rotated for all 3 of us to be ashore in Panama that day.

Cruise Ship Diaries Part 9
With a rich history of colonalism and actual pirates of the Carribean, Cartagena, Colombia was something of a mixed bag when we visited on the Coral. In England at least at the time Colombia was famous for being a dangerous drug capitial and for being the country where a natinonal football player was shot dead after scoring an own goal in the world cup!

Cruise Ship Diaries Part 8
ewAruba is a constituent country still ruled by the Kingdom of Holland and based in the southern Caribbean sea, along with Curacao & Bonaire they are collectively known as the ABC islands. It is a small island only measuring 20 miles from northwest to southeast and was my first port of call in the Caribbean but everyones biggest complaint was tiny amount of time we acutally had in port. We would offically dock at 6am and all aboard time was 1pm for a 2pm sailaway, and thats a 1pm all aboard if your a crew member and as such you also have to wait until the gangways are clear of guests before you can get off the ship yourself. These people were on vacation and most of them were not getting up at 6a.m in the morning!
