Repositioned
transatlantic cruise back home 2016/Carlos Pueblo
Finally, I
arrived to Barcelona, Spain for my transatlantic cruise back home,
of course
via Ft. Canaveral, Florida. Back to March, I bought a pair of round
trip tickets
from Frankfurt, Germany in June and returned in September to
utilize the
credit card mileage in order to complete two European trips. Based
on my
experience, I figure out that is the most economic method to use my
fund
effectively, for example, I have had more than two months stay in Europe
in total and
I can claim that I have known a little bit of Germany, Spain, France,
Ireland, and
England, etc. I took the subway out of the airport and exit at Columbus
Square at
the port, then, took an exclusive bus to the cruise terminal. I attempted
to visit
another ship, the Jade, disembark along with the ship which I belonged to,
the Epic, in
order to see if I could run into some whom I was with on the previous
trip. Jade
was ready to embark for Tampa, Florida.
Epic is a
larger ship for the cruise liner in compare with Jade which was full this time
when I
booked the ticket. I have had a very good memory with the staff on the board
and always
like to have another opportunity to visit with them. I did have one trip with
Epic in the
spring of 2015 for the Mediterranean, Italy, France, and Palma, Majorca, Spain.
This time,
the ship would be stopped at Santa Cruz,
Tenerife, Spain and San Juan, Puerto Rico
and after
two weeks at sea reached the final destination, Port Canaveral, Florida. I
would take
a bus south
to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for another three days before returning to Houston.
I found two acquaintance
on board, an Asian Indian manager and Mercy C at the CuiseNext
Department,
both of them were transferred from the Jade. I lost the name card of the
manager
who served
at deck 12 Garden Café with Christina S whom I adored very much. Mercy is also
a
very sweet
and lovely; however, she had been very busy at her job to help the passengers
to
make deposit
for future cruise deal. I always came to her counter or desk in the office to
say
hallo during
the day and night. It seemed to me those visits were very pleasant time on the
ship.
I also met
several couples on board from different nations, Japan, Swiss, China, Hong
Kong, and
my fellow
Taiwanese from Florida, etc. I hope that I would describe them on my later
journal.
