Half way through the story, still collecting side quests, 6 months to go 🛳️🌍✨

It’s quite hard to know how to sum up the past six months of my life, especially knowing I’ve still got another six months left of my contract. So much has changed.

To be completely honest, I’ve completely lost my mind at times and then somehow found a way to rebuild it. But being away from the pressures of normal society has forced me to really look at myself and work out who I want to be when everything I know is stripped away. Ship life exists in its own little realm.

One of the biggest things that has changed me has been intertwining with so many different cultures, beliefs and ways of life. There are around 33 different nationalities on board and every single person has their own stories and experiences. But it’s all about learning to live as one and learning to respect ‘absolutely everybody’.

But amongst all of this, being away has also been a huge reminder of what I have back home. It has made me realise just how much my friends and family mean to me and it’s made me question almost every day why I chose to leave it all behind!!! I had built a life for myself that I was so grateful for and then I left it🤣🤦‍♂️

But you have to weigh everything up.

For me, this job hasn’t really been about performing at all.

It’s just been about living.

The human moments, good or bad. Connecting with people even when we don’t quite understand each other and having a laugh about it anyway. I can’t wait to go home in six months, but I also mourn every crew member I’ve formed a bond with who eventually finishes their contract and leaves.

And I think that’s one of the biggest things this experience has taught me.

I have loved getting to meet so many completely unique people. Learning from them, laughing with them and sharing a tiny part of their lives. And I feel incredibly lucky for that.

Six months down. Six months to go. 🚢🌍❤️

Three weeks on land flew by. Tomorrow morning, it’s back to reality. 🚢

This photo was taken about a month ago right at the end of my last contract. Some of the team in this picture are currently back home on well-deserved breaks, while the rest are still onboard going strong.

I'm heading up to Newcastle tomorrow to step back onto the Ambassador Ambition as Cruise Director. We are setting sail for Denmark, and I'll be living on board all the way through to the New Year. I can't wait to get back to work with @ambassadorcruiseline and @peel_talent. Lets see what the next few months have in store.

👇 Future Guests: If you are booked to sail with us anytime between now and January, drop a comment below with your itinerary or dates so I can look out for you on board! 🎫👇

Alton Towers Pirates Takeover 2026 - The Hunt for the Crown of T’Hulu 🏴‍☠️👑💣⚔️🏴‍☠️

Thirteen years ago I met a pirate called Sharktooth Jack at Alton Towers. This year I got to be friends with him.

I feel so grateful and proud to have been part of this show. It’s truly criminal it was only for a short time but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I hope I did justice to such a vibrant and iconic character, brought to life by so many other incredibly talented performers. It’s an honour to now be a part of that history 🏴‍☠️

It’s only been a day but I’m already missing running around Towers Street with a bunch of crazy pirates arguing and hunting for treasure. To the incredible cast, crew and creatives - THANK YOU for being phenomenal and I sincerely hope we work together again soon 💛

Thank you to @rwsglobalofficial for another fantastic opportunity 🥹

Sharktooth Jack, I’ll miss ya. When you sail back into Mutiny Bay, chuck some gold my way?

“It’s the maddest baddest pirate to ever sail the seven seas!”
