Cruise like a Norwegian.

Hello lovelies! Remember that time I miserably failed at blogging this summer? I promise I'll do better this time. Anyways, today begins another crazy adventure! I am the Wardrobe Supervisor on the Norwegian Star cruise ship! Our home port is in New Orleans & we will be doing 7 day cruises around the mexican riviera. Too exciting. So for the next six months I will be living on the ship & be in charge of all the costumes and performers during the various shows. My cast of 14 is absolute wonderful. I got to know them last week when I began training with NCL in Tampa. Some parts of this job aren't too glamorous but then there are moments straight out of a television show.
So yesterday the cast and I flew up to NYC! Including my own bags and all the costumes I had to lug around 6 pieces of heavy luggage. It was so ridiculous it became funny. When we finally got situated in our hotel out in Queens I made my way into the city with Rosie & Sophie, two English dancers. We met up with Rosie's friends in Times Square & then my friend from Stagedoor, Ed Weathers, met us for dinner. After that I made my way down to the Village to meet up with my fantastic friend Tim! (Yes Gracie, of course I got lost..) It was such a fabulous night & I wish I could stay in my favorite city longer! But literally right now I'm in the bus driving through the city headed to the port. I am so nervous & excited & can't wait to experience ship life!
