Jana's Story
Life
Well, hello to all of my former
classmates! I apologize for not
keeping in touch, as I've been out of
the country (pretty much) for the last
10+ years. I have been a musician,
playing flute, clarinet, tenor & bari sax
on cruise ships based out of Miami
or Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I worked
for Carnival Cruise Lines for 8 & 1/2
years. I was on 6 different ships,
taking me to Mexico, Grand Cayman,
Jamaica, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico,
St. Croix, St. Maarten, Nassau,
Freeport, & Key West. Now, I've
"up-graded" & changed companies.
I've worked for Princess Cruise Lines
for 2 years now. I've been lucky
enough to travel the world with this
company. I've just returned from our
Mediterranean season, taking me to
Italy (Venice, Pisa, Rome, Livorno,
Naples, etc...), Turkey (Istanbul),
Spain (Barcelona), Monte Carlo,
Cannes, Portugal (Lisbon & the
Azores), plus others I just can't
remember right now. I was able to
see Alaska (which ...Expand for more
was absolutely
gorgeous!), Acapulco, Aruba,
Curacao, Colombia, Venezuela,
Costa Rica, Panama Canal, etc...
So, I'm quite happy with my job, even
though I'm the only girl in the band.
Most of the time I'm the only girl in the
entire department. But I enjoy
working with "my boys" and having
SO many friends from every part of
the world! I wouldn't change it for
anything. I never thought I'd be
playing an instrument for a
living...especially not 4 instruments!!
It's really not as tough as I make it
sound. Odd really... I work on a
cruise ship, but come home to
Kansas for vacation. :o)!
I'm home on vacation now until
April 8th, when I'll be joining the
Grand Princess once again to set
sail for the Caribbean. So, that's my
life in a nutshell. If you want to get
ahold of me, send me an email. I'll
always return your messages.
Anyway...
Good luck to you all & I hope to see
each of you again some day! Take
care!!
