Backpacker on the cruise ship

This is my ship no.1 in this voyage. Big and white, about 2000 passengers. Believe me, this is the last expensive way to see 7 scheduled ports… I checked out in the guest services that I am the only passenger with Polish passport. During the “sea day” like today there is enough time stroll around and to memorize where are the most important ship’s institutions. It is not easy – it has 13 decks! In the late afternoon in the lobby our captain Carl appeared in his gala uniform for the pictures. Paparazzi work hard, then one such a picture cost only 25 $. But no obligation to buy, so I used the opportunity to introduce myself to the captain: – It is pleasure to meet you, my name is … and I am from Gdansk, Poland! Captain Carl responsed that once he was in Gdansk. I believe. Than I said that I am on my 12th solo voyage around the globe. I have a feeling that he did not believe… Why?
