Demographics aboard Norwegian Spirit

We have a very diverse group aboard my ship

There are maybe 2000 passengers. I have heard 600 plus are Americans. There are many Canadians and many Australians. Some are from New Zealand. Lot of British, a few from Scotland I have heard German being spoken

Many Asians but I do not know from what countries.

All ages from infants to old people. Some children, not a lotbb

Lots of mobility impaired. I have company. Cruising is probably a good way for those with mobility issues to still be able to travel some

Met a lady who is a glass collector. She is bringing home a couple of pieces of large glass and has to pack it and get it home herself. Because of tariffs, the sellers will not ship.

Today was a sea day and I think everyone felt it was needed. We are all tired.

Sailing towards Hiroshima. My meeting time is 7 30 am. It is going to be a long day

The last few days will be busy with excursions so I have begun packing.

I am wondering if I will have problems flying home due to the government shutdown. I will be flying non stop from S Korea to Dallas and from Dallas to Austin. Yesterday Austin had a ground stop due to staff shortages.

Enjoy Hiroshima. If you have time, take a ferry over to Miajima.

As far as delays go, there is no way of telling what you will be facing because of the government shutdown. Sorry. But you will eventually get home.

Sounds as if you had a diverse group of people on your cruise. My wife and I took a repositioning cruise from Miami to U.K. not knowing it was a singles cruise. And a big percentage were LGBTQ. It was quite an eye opening 12 days. We just take traveling in stride rolling with the flow.
