10/20 - At Sea... Rest in Peace, Nicholas

10/20 - At Sea - After Livorno, Italy, we took to sea once again, setting sail to Mykonos, Greece. Although we were at sea, there were a lot of activities to do on board. Everything they had to offer, I made the most of it.

Pink Tiger, Big Ern, Megs, and Pepe told me to have the time of my life, so I tried. I met some new friends and played volleyball (losing a few volleyballs to the Mediterranean...), exercise (because you WILL gain a good deal of weight if you don't), took some dance classes (aside from shaking my hips, girl to guy ratio was nice and the ladies had some nice hips...*ahem*)...

Last time I was on a cruise 2 years ago, no one really climbed the rock wall since it was too cold and wet going through Alaska. Here, it was fairly nice weather... so... I gave it a try. It was good exercise, and considering the base was already 12 stories or around that much above water... it was an experience.

... This night, we had formal dinner and then went to the Colony Club as usual to listen to music before one of the karaoke idol semi finals (where you would audition to be a finalist and sing in the main theater). Around 1045pm, in the middle of the karaoke, an announcement was made that an unidentified object went overboard and they wanted to verify. We assembled at the designated areas and waited to make rollcall.
Hours pass and every passenger was accounted for except a crew member. We stayed in the same location for 12 hours, with the assistance of helicopters and other ships searching. It was futile. All I can say is this...
no one who would hurt you so is worth that much when they break their vow. I can only pray that his soul will find peace.
