Thoughts from the Lido Deck

The Majestic Princess Cruise Ship


We have settled in on the brand new Majestic Princess cruise ship. It is quite large and all-inclusive, and incredibly exciting to be on its maiden voyage. And now, it’s time for my current scattered thoughts and opinions. (I think I should come up with a series where I give my unsolicited opinion about what’s going on. Working out the title for my new segment.)

What’s on my mind:



  • We got this all-inclusive beverage package and oh my gosh I am going to be getting so much fancy coffee and Boba tea drinks my blood level will be part herbal by the time we’re done here.

  • They have a Boba tea place! On the boat! It’s a bar! It’s amazing!

  • At 21, I am way too old for the teen program, which caps off at 17. Although I’m pretty sure I could easily pass as Shayna because I kind of really need to make a sun catcher key chain and get down with some lanyard crafts.

  • The ship plays somewhat good pop music in the hallways. As great as the music is, it’s kind of weird to listen to “Sexy and I Know It”, while politely shuffling to the side of a cramped hallway so that an overweight balding man in his sixties in cargo shorts can attempt to drag his oversized suitcase into his cruise cabin.

  • My hair gets some extra volume in the humidity. Currently, I’m at “Total Eclipse of the Heart” level of fluff/pouf/extra body.

  • When I get hungry, I get cranky. Note to self: Nobody likes a hungry Rivi (and hungry Rivi isn’t a huge fan of people either).

  • I’m super skilled at afternoon trivia, and I am not shy about expressing how awesome I am. My family would abandon me out of sheer annoyance if I didn’t consistently earn at least half the points every time.

  • I have very, very limited internet and a poor sense of self control. This should work out great.

  • I am the youngest woman in the knitting group by at least a half century. These are my people!

  • This is going to be an amazing trip. I can feel it already!

With Love from the Majestic Princess,

Rivi
