So it has now come to my final week Stateside before embarking upon my
great adventure! I can't believe it's already almost time to go as this trip has seemed like a distant plan for such a long time that it seems unreal I'm actually going to be leaving for Nassau soon!
So here's some details about our ship as quoted from the Semester at Sea Voyager's Handbook:
"The
MV Explorer is the dedicated shipboard campus for the Semester at Sea program. The
Explorer was built in Germany as the world's
fastest cruise ship and completed in 2001. She has a gross tonnage of 24,318, a length of 590 feet, breadth of 84 feet, draft of 24 feet, and a cruising speed of up to 32 knots. There are 418 cabins (296 outside and 122 inside) and six participant decks for a total of 918 berths."

I can also add that there will be somewhere between 650-700 students representing over 250 different universities and colleges on this voyage and that approximately 75 of them are from CU Boulder! I'm getting very excited though I must say I will miss seeing the majestic Flat Irons everyday and I will miss all my family and friends!
For now though, I suppose I should focus on packing as I really should probably get started on that...
