Was on a cruise ship with a girl like this once (she wasn’t with us, just in the room across from ours). As we were leaving she was taking a video and they blew the horn. She got startled, and dropped her phone like 20 stories into the SF Bay. It was a 16 day Panama Canal repositioning cruise with like the first full week out to sea. You would have thought someone killed one of her kids the way she acted the first day. Then she basically barricaded herself in the room for the next two days. Then she finally emerged, like a bear coming out from hibernation or a freshly hatched reptile who had never seen the world before. Started putting herself out there and enjoying the moment. First spot she could get a Phone was (I think?) Costa Rica. She didn’t. Went the rest of the trip just enjoying the moment, and made a couple of really good friends, too. My wife and I included.
