Fire in Nassau

Today there was a big fire in Nassau, right near the terminal at the port! It was HUGE! We had to keep the guests on the ship for awhile...and we had 1500 guests going on tours today! Luckily we didn't have to keep them on for very long, only about 45 minutes, but for us dispatching it felt like hours...Luckily everything else went well so I think most everyone had a good time. Whewf.

I got a Valentines Day card! But still no package. I am bitter whenever I see someone with a package.Seriously, the evil eyes I shoot out are pretty deadly. I feel bad for whomever is on the receiving end. Except not because their package isn't lost and they should rejoice for having their things.

Tomorrow is Castaway Cay (like every other Tuesday and Saturday) and hopefully the weather is better than last time (57 degrees Fahrenheit, now I have no idea what temperature it is in Celsius, damn Americans--and raining). The ship was rocking the most it has since the crossing. I almost fell over at Nemo's Reef. Probably the most interesting thing all day.

There is a big Valentines Day party tonight, but guess where this little miss is headed? To bed! The first party I have missed on the ship. Meh. I work at 8:30am and dammit I have to shower in the morning. So much work.

Off to sleep.

PS: Embarrassing things I have said so far: You're welcome! to people that don't say thank you, "to whom where you speaking with" which he heard as "do you know who you're speaking to" (that one was fun), etc etc...

PPS: Embarrassing things I have done so far: dropping and breaking a plate in the mess, constantly tripping over my feet in the mess, falling over the side of the Aquaduck into the runout lane when I tripped trying to grab a raft, being part of the Crew navigator as a profile stating I love the Maple Leafs, knocking my head on the top of the golf simulator computer panel once, knocking my head on top of the golf simulator computer twice, and then three times....and the list goes on. Really most of them include me not being able to walk like a normal human being but alas, what can you do...

Hi There

Today I went on the Ardastra Gardens and City Tour. It was great! I got to learn a lot of historical information…but man do they not run a tour like I do…no times to be back, dropping us off at random spots and picking us up at completely different locations without telling us…makes me miss my job! Leanna, will you take me back!?! I’m home in April I can do Pre-seasons!! PLEASE!!

I still don’t have my package from home yet. I swear, if my precious clothes from Simons and Topshop are lost in Orlando, I will be extremely peeved. If they are not there by the next Port Canaveral day (which is Sunday) I don’t know what to do! I’ve given them my tracking number (thanks Momma) so hopefully they can find it and it’s not on the Magic or something. 

I’ve been a little down lately, not sure why. It may be the mid-contract blues, but I’m not sure. I’m doing better but I think I got a wave of homesickness last night. I miss everyone terribly. Not only that, but I miss having a life outside of the ship. It is amazing to get off the ship, but it’s only for a couple of hours and then we’re back. I can’t wait for my vacation to get refreshed. I love my job working at the desk, though. I sold almost $5000 in about 4 hours at the desk one cruise. I learnt how to use the track sales feature on the system so it keeps me occupied and working harder…

Nothing else new to report other than the Crew channels have movies like Operation Dumbo Drop, Homeward Bound and Angels in the Outfield on them. I wish you were here Julie, you would appreciate them!

Happy Valentines Day my friends! Xoxo
