Love and laughs on the high seas

... I've been given the green light by my colleague to share this story with you ... Mia, a newbie HR officer onboard, boarded a cruise ship so big you could get lost going from your room to the loo. Her cabin was so small, if she sneezed, she’d hit all four walls! On her first day, Mia was all over the place, meeting people from everywhere. She learned the crew’s special language – a funny mix of broken English and hand signals. It was like playing charades every day. Mia was like the ship’s agony aunt, sorting out everyone's dramas. She was busier than a bee! Then ...one day ... she met him! Leo, a deck officer. He had eyes that made you think of deep-sea diving. They hit it off faster than a seagull on a chip. They'd sneak quick chats between shifts, hiding their romance like it was a stowaway. Life on the ship was nuts. One minute you’re giving relationship advice to a heartbroken cook, the next, you’re trying not to fall over while the ship rocks like it...
