[Kiel, Germany]The summer approaches. Soon the docks of the Port of Kiel will have the prestige of hosting the most prestigious Ferries in Europe. Last week already, I was surprised by the AIDA Bella, this brand new ship with a friendly smile. Imagine that you wake up one morning and you see in front of your window a 15-storey building smiling at you.

As long as two football fields, this new luxury Ferry will host 2 050 passengers and 646 crew members ... suddenly I feel very small on my boat!

And while the ferries' ballet continues, we are getting ready move from dock to dock during the month of May to make way for large damsels.

Life on board is quite intense. It goes at full speed and the weather seems to have takn the same path: one day can picture the 4 seasons: sun, rain, snow ... and even sometimes ice! It is difficult to predict what the weather will be like in the afternoon, and we have no choice but learning flexibility. One day, surprised by a ray of sunshine, I decided to go take my meals on the deck and enjoy the nice weather. I didn't have time to begin my salad that white glitter started falling into my plate. A little surprised (and irritated) I looked for the newby who must have been painting on the upper deck ... But there was nobody! It was just the snow that started to fall. Hurry up! Go back to the warm dining room! A few minutes later, it was ice in block that started to fall!

[Kiel, Germany]Since February, I work in the IT office. The most important task is to give support for the entire network of computers. If you often curse your computer don’t worry, you are like the 350 crew members who will agree that computers can be very temperamental.

[Kiel, Germany]In a few weeks, the ship will make a stopover in dry dock to replace a generator. So right now the 2nd deck is in action station to prepare the place. The Heavy fuel oil tank must be completely emptied and cleaned to carry on the work in safety conditions. Hence, I leave my screen for a moment to give a hand in the engin room.
