A Sailor's Life in the Cruise Industry

As a sailor at sea,

I fell in love with the sight of the sunrises and sunsets.

I fell in love with the sound of the waves.

I fell in love with the feeling of excitement as we sailed to each port of call.

I need the sea because it teaches me.

I fell in love with putting on the uniform and being part of a team.

I fell in love with meeting people from all corners of the earth.

I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm

learning how to sail my ship.

As a sailor at sea,

The blood of a sailor now pumps daily in my being.

I fell in love with the faith that strengthened me to walk this journey.

I fell in love with witnessing the majesty of seeing the fingerprints of the Almighty Creator when I look at each sunrise and sunset.

They that go down to the ship, that

do business in great waters; these

see the works of the Lord, and

His wonder in the deep.

Psalm 107: 23-24

As a sailor at sea,

Most of all, I fell in love with the Almighty Creator who put me here to enjoy the splendor of this journey.

Once a seafarer, always a seafarer at heart.

This is the heart and life of this Sailor.

It is not that life at shore is

distasteful for me. But that life

at sea is better.
