• First carribean cruise experience

    12 Ağustos 2022, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    A cruise ship can be both the most boring place to be (which after 5 months of adventure and road trips and hiking is a welcoming refreshment) or one of the most fun if you let it be.

    Positives:
    - Everytime you look out you see the infinite ocean all the way to the horizon
    - Surprisingly good shows (The audience is a potential 6000 peole big after all)
    - Very friendly staff (many south east Asians). Note: Staff works 7(!) days a week 12h a day, for 6 months straight, then return home for 2 months. They do earn 2-3k US$ a month which can me comparatively great. They do have cinema, gym and leisure activities for staff but many simply choose to sleep in their free time.
    -Free food everywhere

    Negatives:
    - A mass tourism feeling (positive if you’re into that)
    - Definetely a good amount of heavy oil burnt (as opposed to a normal hotel resort). Roughly 4 liters per 15 m.
    - Not enough time to explore any ports at which you stop

    Bonus: Some delayed content from Waterfalls in Costa Rica!
