The Best Job in the World Starting work every morning at 06:30 or 07:30 and then working non stop till midnight might sound like hell. Well it is, but luckily I live in paradise! I woke up this morning, slightly hung-over, but nothing out of the ordinary and experienced the most amazing view! The Serenade of the Seas was leaving St John’s Antigua and the most amazing sunrise was our wake up call! My adventure started over 2 weeks ago in Fort Lauderdale. After waiting at the passport control for close to 3 hours as all crew need to have background check done when you enter the US I was dropped off at a hotel with some fellow crew mates! A good dinner and a couple of beers later, and I was already making friends with ... read more

LONG BEACH, Calif. — A missing elderly couple likely fell off a Carnival Cruise ship between Long Beach and Mexico, company officials said Friday. A 90-year-old man and his 79-year-old wife were aboard the Carnival Paradise when it departed Monday from Long Beach, but they could not be found when it returned Friday morning. Miami-based Carnival said the couple's cabin door was double-locked from the inside with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the handle. Their belongings remained inside, and the door leading from the cabin to the private balcony was unlocked. FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the couple was last seen Tuesday night near their cabin. She said federal agents were interviewing passengers and crew and processing evidence. The Coast Guard has been searching for the missing couple since Friday... read more
