  • Santa Cruz de la Palma, Spain

    Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Wednesday, May 31, 2006 Santa Cruz de la Palma, Spain This morning was the first payday. My direct deposit has not kicked in yet so I had the option to take some or all of my salary to this point in cash and whatever you don’t take you either get…

  • Funchal, Mediera Islands, Portugal

    Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Tuesday, May 30, 2006 Funchal, Mediera Islands, Portugal Today was finally the first day in port since leaving the Bahamas. I got up this morning thinking that I had time to go eat and get ready before the emergency drill. Unfortunately they didn’t really tell people that they moved the…

  • Atlantic Crossing Day 7

    Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Monday, May 29, 2006 Atlantic Crossing Day 7 I Feel like today was almost the same as yesterday. The days bleed together so much that I suppose it really doesn’t matter. This morning was usual, breakfast and then a lecture. To day turned out to be a long day in…

  • Atlantic Crossing Day 6

    Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Sunday, May 28, 2006 Atlantic Crossing Day 6 Another day another hour forward. I am looking forward to getting to Portugal when we stop having time changes. For a little bit anyway. We do have a life raft drill on the day we get to Funchal. I suppose that isn’t…

  • Atlantic Crossing Day 5

    Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Saturday, May 27, 2006 Atlantic Crossing Day 5 This morning I had the chance to sleep in a little, and then head up for breakfast just before the kitchen closed. I ate with Stephen from the cast, and Jen, the head of children’s programming. Her title is probably something like…

  • Atlantic Crossing Day 4

    Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Friday, May 26, 2006 Atlantic Crossing Day 4 Well, going to sleep earlier than the past couple nights has certainly helped, with the loss of another hour, but I still am tired. I don’t want to take up drinking lots of coffee so I catch sleep when I can. I…

  • Atlantic Crossing Day 3

    Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Thursday, May 25, 2006 Atlantic Crossing Day 3 Today was another long tiring day. We moved another hour ahead and thus lost another hour of sleep. It kinda sucks. I had another usual morning, breakfast then a port lecture at 0915. After the port lecture the second officer gave a…

  • Atlantic Crossing Day 2

    Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Wednesday, May 24, 2006 Atlantic Crossing Day 2 The nice thing about today was the fact that there was no time change. Loosing an hour is hard. I suppose it is probably better than loosing 5 all at the same time and getting jet-lag, but it still sucks to loose…

  • Atlantic Crossing Day 1

    Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Wednesday, May 23, 2006 Atlantic Crossing Day 1 At sea days are always the longest days here in the theatre. For this Atlantic crossing we have a lecture every morning at 0915. The morning lecture is about the ports that we will be visiting. It is pretty interesting. The lecture…

  • Half Moon Cay – Bahamas

    Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Monday, May 22, 2006 Half Moon Cay – Bahamas Today started very laid back, there is really nothing going on until my rehearsal with Paul later on. It is my understanding that Paul is a comedian who impersonates and brings back to life the work of Charlie Chaplin. It sounds…
