Editorial Summary

The creator details the transition from training on open ice to the intensive process of installing a new show, which involves working closely with an installer and the full cast. The video covers various aspects of crew life, including managing personal expenses by making instant coffee on board, grocery shopping in Italian ports like Civitavecchia, and maintaining fitness through gym sessions.

Creator's Key Takeaways

This last week has been incredible. We have just been doing trainings and open ice, but I'm excited to start rehearsals and relearning the show.

I'm trying to limit my spending and be, you know, smart about it because I don't have my machine on board.

So far so good for the first day. All the coro is coming back to me. We got through opening all the way, which is awesome because it's very long.

I absolutely love that city. I love that port we have. And I'm so happy that we're going back many times.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Limit spending on coffee by making instant coffee during install days.
