Thoroughly enjoyed reading your blogs. I am a Musician but worked on ships as a Gift Shop Manager and am thinking about going back as a guest entertainer. I can relate to all the things you talked about. Even having time to waste on Regent when I usually worked up to 120 hours a week.

One of the things I really enjoyed was playing music with Musicians after hours. Especially if the ship we were on had an open Crew Deck. There is nothing like sailing across the Indian Ocean at 3am with a booze arsenal and a couple of dodgy acoustic guitars. Great memories. Cheers
