I have been saying for a month that I was going to start a blog about my job, so here it is! For those of you who don't know, I recently took a job with Holland America Line as a librarian. I realize that some of you are thinking, “A librarian on a cruise ship? Is that even a real job?” Not only is a real job, but in my mind it is the perfect job. I am surrounded by thousands of books, I get to meet tons of people, my desk has an AMAZING view, and I live on a cruise ship. As librarian I am in charge of all the books, magazines, board games, and playing cards on board. I also get to facilitate games and brain teasers. Certain days are longer than others, but I really love my job!
I am currently working on the Volendam. We sail round trip from Vancouver ever week with stops in Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan and a day of scenic cruising in Glacier Bay National Park (which I have decided is on of my favorite places on earth. Although it is the same run week after week, it is difficult to be bored because there is a lot to do and see in each town. I will try to post about excursions and such as well as any other adventures I have (and trust me, living on a cruise ship is never dull).
Thanks for following my adventures. Enjoy!
