This last couple weeks have been a blur what with the holidays and major swells and what not so I here’s a roundup from the past few weeks in photos and videos.

Larrance is apparently scared of whale watching. The cast goes on a hike in Honolulu.

Here’s a picture of Catalina, our room steward on Christmas Eve, she was delighted with the fresh lei I made for her with my own two hands. It was a blast to make and I loved seeing her face light up when I gave it to her.

We had Christmas dinner with the crew in the main dining room. The food was actually pretty good, much better than on the international ships. It seems US chefs know what stuffing is supposed to look at taste like. After we ate the whole cast worked for an hour busing tables for the rest of the crew who were eating. We all loved giving back a little to those who are serving us day in an day out.

Mike seems a little perplexed by the Bean Boozled game instructions.

Jen loves the t-shirt she got from her Secret Santa

Rance could not be happier with his Secret Santa's gift choice for him. I on the other hand wish he could play it on mute with the same level of enjoyment.

The entire cast at Christmas with our Secret Santa gifts.

Rance doesn't seem so tall under the banyan trees.
