Crossings are very special trips we have
aboard FRAM. We have passengers aboard, an expedition team, crew and workers
for special renovation works. These works have to be done before we reach
Buenos Aires. So we have a mixture of people and interest but we believe we are
doing well and passengers, crew and workers enjoy their time. In the following
report, written by our receptionist Clarice, you will get a little feeling about
our daily life on board.

It’s amazing
how many days we are at sea already, and still we are enjoying the good
weather, good food and of course fun at work. Work starts at 8am; we are almost
finishing counting all the shop stocks from deck 3, up to deck 4 and 5. Quite
excited with the progress at the moment, our ship’s shop is being renovated to
make it bigger and wider. There are things that we don’t usually do or shall we
say can’t do if not only during crossing, like for instance, having more time
to rest, relax and have fun during the night with passengers we have on board.
Just like today we have the awarding of certificates for the lucky ones who
were baptized when we crossed the Equator, quite fun to see new faces
experiencing it, and had a blast from the past seeing ourselves seating on that
chair feeling the same. One of our new
Receptionist, Rose was also baptized that day hahaha lucky her. After a day of
work, dinner together in the outside deck is sooooo good. This is one thing we
would really miss during crossing, good weather, enough rest, games during the
night and of course how could we miss the sumptuous barbecue/food the galley
team is preparing for us every night. Our day is mostly spent counting the
things we have in the shop, office supplies and a lot more. Another thing we
are so grateful during this crossing is German lecture we do every day, we
might not be the best German speaker after this but surely we’ll have a little
confidence dealing with our German guest once the cruise starts. It really
feels good learning new things, and the best part is, our dear passengers
onboard are so great of helping us learning German, surely this is a great
experience for us compared to the previous crossing we have done.
Our proud
fresh baptized members of King Neptune´s Kingdom got their baptism
certification in the evening.
