..would be a cool name for an onboard concert. Unfortunately, there is nothing quite “jammin” about the events taking place (that was really lame, I know.).<\/p>\n
We’re in the middle of the Pacific between (you guessed it) Japan and Hawaii, and we have hit the worst sea swells yet. The past 48 hours have been pretty bad – we’ve been sailing at an average of 20 knots, and many of us have been getting tossed around. I have an outside room on the lowest deck (deck 2) in the aft section, where it’s supposedly the calmest, so I shudder to think what my upper deck\/forward peers are going through. My roommate and I have had items slide off our table (first time for that), and we’ve also had waves constantly pounding on our porthole. While it’s pretty cool the first few times, it serves as a constant reminder that we’re currently living at 0 feet above sea level and that a breach in the hull would mean we’d be the first passengers on the ship to get soaked.<\/p>\n
Also – this is also the first time where it has been cold on the outside decks. It’s like Seattle in the early spring, and we’ve all been donning our counterfeit North Face jackets out there. A nice little reprieve from the past 3 months of heat, but many of us are ready to get tossed back into the sun when we hit Honolulu, San Diego, and the summer season back in our hometowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
