It’s about 10 p.m. here in Tenerife on Christmas Eve, and it’s a special time for all onboard. Especially for the crew, given that we decided to stay later and provide open Internet access. While many people working on the crossing have their families with them, the crew relies on email or phone to connect with family during this special time of year. It’s not easy for those on their first ship contract and your family is thousands of miles away.
I have always wondered about the onboard experience during Christmas. The ship entertainment crew did a good job. There was mass, Pictures with Santa, Holiday cookies, holiday parades on the funnel vision and more.
We are departing Tenerife late today because we’re waiting on the airlines. You can well imagine the numbers of lost bags from this past week’s European weather challenges, and a number of our guests joining the ship in Tenerife were not spared. Hopefully there will be some luggage reuniting late tonight!!
We wandered and explored Tenerife, the primary city in the Canary Islands, which is part of Spain. It was a great opportunity to explore, and my family could not have been happier to experience a wee bit of terra firma and another country. Stephanie was able to get a Spanish version of Harry Potter to go with her Irish and Dutch copies from this trip.
