To show great love for God and our neighbors we need not do great things. It is how much love we put into the doing that makes our offering something beautiful for God. -Mother Teresa

Anastasis vs. Africa Mercy

A few have asked me this question and those who have lived on both ships also have the convo quite regularly. So, here goes:

Anastasis (2004-05)                                                   
Beautiful wooden promenade deck                              
Fun Aft deck w/ snack bar                                                        
Cockroach infested                                                      
Worse food                                                                
Everything broke all the time, volunteers constantly requested over the intercom                                        
Cinnamon rolls for sale after community meeting            
Dedicated speed scrabblers/gamers                                
151                                                                              
Sporadic amazing croissant baker                                
No wireless internet                                                      
More weavels                                                              
Better mood lighting in the int'l lounge                            
More aesthetically pleasing                                          
Smaller Academy                                                          

Africa Mercy (Fall 2011)
Not as pretty deck 7, not as fun to walk around
Massive crane on the back of deck 8, snack bar inside the ship
Cockroach free
Better food
Things don't break all the time, volunteers requested seldom
Free icecream after Thurs. community meeting
No 151s, friends can call directly to your extension
Monday chocolate crepes, Friday Belgian waffles
Wireless internet in midships, galley
Fewer weavels
Bright lighting in the int'l lounge
Less aesthetically pleasing
Bigger academy

The lists were written pretty and side by side, but they posted funny - sorry :(

I'll add more as I think of them :)
