May 28th - June 3rd
Moved to the bottom bunk
Met my new cabin mate, Angelique from South Africa
Fancy Caribbean themed lunch served in the crew mess. My favourite was the Caribbean fudge pie. What? Of course dessert was my favourite.
Training for stair and hallway guides. That's me. I get to stand in the stairwell and tell guests how to get to their muster station.
Training was then followed by another boat drill. I think I've now down more boat drills this month than in my previous 4 contracts put together.
First pay cheque of this contract.
First round of liquor pick up for me.
Because I was on liquor pick up I was exempt from loading. 25 pallets! It was a good loading to miss. Except the remainder of the team worked from 10am to 3pm to get all the pallets unloaded. I felt a little bit bad about that, well until I fell asleep. I had planned to go out in Galveston. But. See previous sentence...until I fell asleep. Woke up in time for the guest safety briefing.
Re-orientation training. Better late than never I guess. should have done this my first week on board but somehow my name never came up. I'm now refreshed on how to deal with sexual harassment, guest wth disabilities and elevator eyes. So I did learn something new. The term elevator eyes, I knew the concept but had never heard that particular phrasing for it.
My night off. Woohoo. A beer, laundry and movie watching.
Books read this week:
- To Love and Protect by Debbie Macomber. Okay so technically I started this last week, but I finished it this week.
- Hitched by Carol Higgins Clark. Mmm, apparently I've read this book before. Probably on this ship 3 years ago as I borrowed it from the crew library. Didn't make much of an impression then, nor did it now. I was halfway through before I realized the storyline was familiar, and even then I couldn't remember what happened.
- Off the Record by Bonnie Hearn Hill
