Southampton, UK

Survived my first day as a passenger. Picked up my cruise card and dropped off my crew laminex in the morning. Then did the traditional brunch in Southampton with Jackson one last time before I go home after this cruise. Going straight from working all day every day to have nothing to do on the ship is very weird. I went up to the top deck for the sail away party as we were sailing away from Southampton and then later one when it was quieter took my laptop up there and did some work in the fresh air until Jackson went on break. Finishing the night by having dinner with Manas (Photo manager) in Beach House, one of the restaurants on the ship where you always end up eating way too much food. We both ended up having nachos, steak on a stone and then chocolate fudge cake for dessert.
Our first stop in 3 days will be Madeira where Manas wants to try and get the whole team (including me) to have steak on a stone together out in port.Read more
