Today started off with a couple of inter-department meetings. They were fine as some honest opinions needed to be shared. It will make it a bit better. What I have found out in 10 days is what I have learned from working with many companies over the years. They all have about the same issues. Everyone wants respect. On ships it definitely is amplified times 10. Hard to explain, but I still have a smile on my face.
I expect it is from the travel, lack of sleep and a bit of stress getting the shows open, but I have a head cold. NOT FUN... Especially since we opened the Rock Opera show last night (Con Molto). Besides going back to my classical training, it is by FAR my easiest show. I enjoy the music I sing!!!
Okay... I don't have my itinerary in front of me and I can't recall where I was the last couple of days. Wait... I was in Amafli Italy for Easter. Soooooooo pretty to see from the ship. Yes, I have pictures. Had dinner at a local restaurant and had "Mom's" lasagna . Quite honestly... It was incredibly tasty. The pasta was much thinner than American style. I was with most of the cast and a couple of the cast's boyfriends and it was a GREAT group. We shared fresh mozzarella, ricotta, brushette (spelling), proschutto (spelling) with melon. It was my first Italian Easter dinner.
Yesterday... where were we??? Portofino??? I don't think so. BUT... Wherever we were, it was a nice place with wonderful views, architecture and shops. I found out that Italy celebrates Easter for 2 days. The 2nd day is called Angel's day and is an official holiday in the country. The streets were crawling with people and it was wonderful.
Today is the beginning of a new cruise. Here's where I will be for the next 10 days... You'll notice we are in Venice for 2 days... It's actually 3 as the beginning of the next cruise will be there as well. THREE DAYS IN VENICE!!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something for you to know. There are 49-50 nationalities on board this ship at any given time and American's are BY FAR the minority. There are 800 crew members and 6 are American. Interesting for sure.
Well, I have to get going and explore this port city before heading back to the ship for a couple hours of "duties".
I hope everyone enjoys their Tuesday!
Oh... The Preds advanced!!! So excited!
Until next time. Ciao'
