This SHIP is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

The ship is basically a floating hotel. Our room seems small but has a lot more storage space than I thought. We have a steward that comes in and makes are beds every morning and the kitchen staff takes our plates when we’re finished eating. I don’t really like that aspect. I feel like I am able to and should make my own bed and clear my own plates. I told Nelly, our floor steward, that she doesn’t have to make my bed but I guess they do checks to make sure she is doing her job and she’s not supposed to leave any beds unmade.

Our classes are in lounges and it’s a little difficult to pay attention when all I can see out of the floor-to-ceiling windows is ocean. It’s pretty cool though, once I’m able to figure out how to post pictures I’ll post some of the view. We have two cafeterias, a library, computer lab, basketball courts, a pool, work out stations, and even a spa. It’s hard to believe that I’m actually getting credit while traveling on this ship. I’ve had all my classes and the course load is no different then back at CU. It seems like we have a lot of work and little time to do it in especially without weekends. The days go by fast!

So, does everyone have to be in their cabins at a certain time or is it pretty much up to you? I would love to watch the stars at night on the deck. I remember the rubber legs on land, it's a weird feeling. Watch your step!
