Hello Hong Kong!

A few cruises ago we ported in Hong Kong! It was very exciting as we are only porting here 2 times the whole contract. I got a chance to see the city briefly at night (As I was on duty), but the lights were stunning!! It is definitely a city I need more time to explore in.

The view of the city as our tender sailed in!
Welcome to Hong Kong!
The "Dinner With Degas" event I worked at while in Hong Kong.
Gorgeous!! Such an amazing view as I head back to the ship!!
Bye Hong Kong, See you in October! And I already cannot wait. Let's all home and pray I have a full day off to enjoy the city!


Sincerely, 
B.

Singapore!

For the first time ever, the Voyager of the Seas sailed into Singapore. We docked in a brand new terminal and it was all very exciting! The people here in Singapore are so kind, and the streets are so clean! Here are a few photos from my adventures in Singapore so far.

Gorgeous tower at Marina Bay.
A view from the top, I love Singapore!

The city.

A taste of home at Starbucks in Singapore!

Such amazing architecture in Singapore!
Look what I found! Dallas Restaurant and Bar!! So cool!

A beautiful city, filled with color.

Justine and I at Clarks Quay!

I got a laugh finding Hoosters in Singapore!


The train station! So clean, and efficient!

With my train ticket! Very eco-friendly. You use it and trade it in at the end for a dollar!


Thats all for now! Today is the Voyager's last day in Singapore until October, and now we are heading to China! I am loving this itinerary so much! I am feeling so lucky! Xoxox!


Sincerely,
B.

Penang, Malaysia!

Last week, after over 36 hours of travel, I arrived in Penang! We had an afternoon to explore before we boarded the Voyager of the Seas! It was very pretty, with lush greens as we landed, and the city was filled with color! Here are a few of my photos of my ventures so far!

My first steps in Malaysia!
Basmati rice on the street.
The Flag!
A walk along the Jetty, housing right on the water.
Gorgeous colors along the water.

I am missing family and friends so much, but I am very happy and really enjoying myself!
Xoxoxo.

Next Adventure, Voyager of the Seas!

On another adventure I go! Back to Royal Caribbean, on the Voyager of the Seas! Instead of sailing the Caribbean like on the Serenade, the Voyager will take me all around Asia and Australia! It really is my dream itinerary. I came to Miami for rehearsals in the beginning of April, where we rehearsed for 5 weeks. We learnt 2 production shows; Broadway Rhythm & Rhyme, and Music in Pictures. Both great shows that I cannot wait to perform with a full audience!


I have had an awesome time in Miami getting to know my new cast mates, and trying to enjoy the sun. There are 14 people in my cast from all over Canada, Australia, Argentina, The UK and USA. So cool getting to work with people from all over the world, we have really become a little family, and I am really looking forward to the contract!




Meet the cast!!

Love the feathers!

Reunited With Alison from my first ship, the Serenade!
Justine! We're the Vancouver girls!

After our office run!

Ready to go, back at Royal Caribbean Production Studios!

B.

De Palm Island, Aruba!


Aruba is great, but what makes it even better is watersides, banana boating, free food, and friends! Luckily I found all of these things on De Palm Island last Thursday when we had a crew excursion to the island! We had tried to go once before, but they wanted us to pay nearly 100 dollars because we were not in a group, so when this tour was offered to the crew for less then half we were so excited! Here are some pictures from our adventure...


We had to take a little ferry to get to the island!

The singers and dancers ready for some fun.


De Palm Island! Isn't that just the bluest water?!

I would not mind if this was my home! It is actually one of the restaurants on the island.

The waterslides!

Jordan and I. Clearly getting VERY tanned!

And banana boating! Always so hilarious!

Sincerely,
B.

Zip lining in Antigua!


Finally, I went zip lining in the Caribbean! It has been a very exciting week here on the Serenade of the Seas. Because of the Tropical storm we had to change the whole order of the voyage around. Luckily it didn't effect us too much! (Except for a few rocky shows!) But it was a fun week, and the highlight was definitely zip lining!! It was in the middle of the jungle and we got to do 9 different zips.

In our 'Cab' to Zip lining. It almost didn't make it up the hills, and our driver was quite the character!

The sign you DO NOT want to see on your way to zip line!!

ZIP LINING! Very high, going tree to tree!

Alison and Kelly in their gear!

Jordan and I after zipping!

The four of us after a very successful day!

Sincerely,
