Wow its all gone so fast this 1st week....
I am as brown as a coconut so far with a slight burnt nose sadly, which is realllllly annoying for photographing tourists, i have learnt and now started my photography work and i am in the full swing of things! I do studio shoots character shoots and gangway shoots, going with the tourists off the ship on tours such as Rome and Pisa.
All the crew on board are amazing and there seems to be alooooot of friendly faces, and sexy bodies ;)!, i have been to the crew events regularly to build my friendships, but so far so good, i took part in the Bingo 2 days back now winning the final jackpot game of $860.00 :D which was seriously embarassing having to get up and dance on a table but for that much money i would have done a lot more i am sure, :).
It did start off like a holiday but now i feel it is a job and i will just have to wait and see how i progress, more experience the better i think, so much to take in, "smudging" can be a bit weird as you have to get people to be enthusiastic about taking a photograph or not but a cheesy smile and closed question and you will be fine.
This morning we had a surprise crew drill which was urrrrrrm manic to say the least but i got to my emergency station eventually :)..... still get lost on the ship its vast, 12 decks and huge amount of places which i am yet to explore.
Time for Coffee and a Pastry :D
Chat soon Guys and Gals

Viva Le Barcelona!!!
So I have started my journey, leaving Heathrow airport while very very very hungover, but this could also have been my own fault, leaving my mobile in a taxi that night not getting to sleep until 5am when it was returned miraculously...... erghhhhh, thanks to everyone who came, hope you all had a ridiculous night, a 21st birthday to remember.
Right anyway back to where i am then, home of the worst football team ever.........Barcelona, the weather could be better but saying that it is still a darn sight better than the UK, my hotel is above and beyond all expectations and i have just got back from the indoor Spa........... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh "franky says relax". I had a disney training lecture begin this morning at 9.30am till about 2.00pm which was a great eye opener in to the hectic next 8 months of my life, I am looking forward to tomorrow now even though i have the dreaded wake up time of 6.00am, a day of safety training, jumping in a pool fully clothed, doing life guard and safety drills with a great group of people whom are joining with me on the Disney Magic.
Right time for a quick shower and then off for a Grilled Steak i think :) might be spain but i still love my british food!!!!!
Speak soon, i join my ship on wednesday morning at 5.45am sadly, but i will update you all on what i hope to be an amazing new home...........till then Mugglerssssssss x

Nervous??? Just a bit....
Welcome to my new blog, this will hopefully provide a place for me to tell you all about my up and coming travels aboard the Disney magic, working as a photographer :).
I have packed my bags now, as best i can, knowing i will have certainly forgotten something important, but i can't wait just to go get going now, no more rain or cloudy weather, just boiling hot sun, (i hope), and then to get used to bobbing up and down all the time without being sick.... should be interesting.
First thing is first though, a couple days until the big 21st birthday with Mr Watt and all my ridiculous friends...... it could get messy i admit, but i will try my best to drink in moderation, knowing i leave for Barcelona the following afternoon for training to become "disneyfied", while all you lot lay in bed with your hangovers!!!
8 months begins from the 17th of july, not returning until April next year. No christmas and No new years with the family, but instead with new family and friends who i am yet to meet, i can only hope they will be as good as the ones i currently have.
Right then where will i be going??? Well here is a little list for you to check out....
Barcelona, Spain
Tunis, Tunisia
Naples, Italy
Nice, France
La Spezia (cinque Terre), Italy
Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
Palma De Mallorca, Spain
Gibraltar, United Kingdom
Funchal, Madeira
Philipsburg, St. Martin / St. Maarten
Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Castaway Cay, Bahamas
Port Canaveral, Florida, United States Of America
Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
And many more i cant be asked to copy and paste them all.
Hopefully they will all be amazing places and i will write a little piece on them all, almost like a travel advisor.
Time for a Cuppa tea, speak soon.
