One of the strangest things about being on the ship is the constant flow of people coming in and out. It often makes it difficult to get to know anyone because as soon as you do, they are getting ready to leave. I've already had one close coworker leave and tomorrow one of my cabin mates is leaving.
It's a bit hard to make friends with the newer people because you get burnt out constantly introducing yourself. And while I feel bad about it since I had gone through this myself with the people who had already been here for a while when I first arrived, it's pretty much unavoidable. Even the extremely outgoing (which we all know I am not) have this happen to them. Constantly repeating your name, home country, department and length of service gets really old.
Maybe we will send you some stickers that say, "Hello my name is Tiffany, I'm from the U.S.A., have a safe flight!"
