So, we go through six straight sea days crossing over from Europe with nothing to tragic as far as waves. But leave New York? Ai yi yi. Today has slowly gotten rockier and rockier. Apparently we’re heading towards a storm system that is moving up through Florida and we’re either going to see the worst before arriving in Port Canaveral in the morning or we’re going through it right now.
Tomorrow we are able to get off the ship at 10:00 and don’t have to be back until 8:00pm. However, we were scheduled to do our shows. This meant we would need to do our tech at 11:00am, so we couldn’t leave until noon or so. And we would need to be back by 7:00 at the latest to be ready for our 8:00pm show. BUT…the ship was too rocky for the dancers tonight. Deanna and I were just finishing up dinner around 7:00pm when Larrance found us and said “Rance. Deanna. This isn’t a practical joke. They need us to do our shows tonight.”
The upside is we get all the time we want tomorrow and we’ve done our shows already. The downside is the audiences weren’t that full or attentive because everyone is getting sea sick. How do we know when it’s bad? When you see people in the Crystal Atrium (midship on deck 8). That is where the rockiness is felt least. There were at least 5 people there sleeping on the couches and some with families at their side. I’m really glad I have strong sea legs and haven’t really gotten sea sick.
