Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Thursday, June 15, 2006 Geiranger, Norway Today started pretty well. I had to get up early to come up and turn on the video screens for the shore excursions people, but when I got to the lounge one of the broadcast techs had done it already so I went back…

Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Wednesday, June 14, 2006 Bergen, Norway Today was a beautiful day aside from being woken up by the fire alarm for the drill this morning followed almost immediately by my pager going off as Peter needed me. Peter wanted me to test the scenic cruising PA system as he was…

Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Tuesday, June 13, 2006 Kritiansand, Norway I decided to sleep late today. My laundry took a little longer than I had planned for last night. I got up barely in time to get any breakfast, se la vie. After having something to eat I got off the ship and took…

Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Monday, June 12, 2006 Oslo, Norway Today I got up early to see the fjord as we sailed into Oslo. The sail in was beautiful, a little hazy, but beautiful. As we docked I had breakfast, and then I got ready to get off the ship. We were in port…

Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Sunday, June 11, 2006 At Sea Today we are sailing between England and Norway. I suppose that at least I am busy on sea days, because as much as I don’t like having to get up in the morning to do the 0930 lecture, I would rather have something to…

Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Friday, June 9, 2006 St. Peter Port, Guernsey – U.K. Today started slightly earlier than usual, especially for a port day. This morning we had a crew raft drill at 0900. That was a lot of fun. I just kinda rolled out of bed and put dome clothes on for…

Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Thursday, June 8, 2006 At Sea I don’t know if there is much to say about the sea days anymore. Aside from the fact that I only have 6 sea days left in this contract. Lectures as usual and rehearsal with Petrina Johnson. She was quite possibly the best vocalist…

Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Wednesday, June 7, 2006 La Rochelle, France Today I slept in really late. I think like around 11:00 was when I finally got up. It felt really good to get a lot of sleep. It is pretty easy to sleep in as there is no sunlight to wake you up.…

Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Tuesday, June 6, 2006 At Sea Today was really long and boring. Starting at 9:15 I had three lectures in the lounge. So I got up a little after 8 and went up for breakfast before heading down for the first lecture. The frst lecture was a port talk on…
