Jun 11 - 17th
Started inventory this week. Can I please be assigned to a ship that isn't scheduled for inventory? Please? Seriously. Inventory is scheduled once a year for each ship. I work for 6 months at a time. Just once could I please sign on the week after inventory, the scanning and the check are all completed?
For two days we scanned the Bijoux (or cruise club or promo fashion accessories or $10 item, whatever we are calling it this contract) locker. It's one of the lockers my team is responsible for. It looks immaculate right now. Let's hope they keep it that way.
Had lunch on Lido deck, pork tacos from the Blue Iguana and chocolate chip cookies from the Sweet Spot.
About an hour after we departed Galveston we unfortunately had to turn around and return due a guest who needed urgent medical attention.
Because of the medical emergency it meant we opened the shops at 900pm instead of 630pm. Not a good night $$$ wise.
We docked in Cozumel with Splendor and Freedom. My 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th ship all in one place.
Finally completed and signed all my onboarding documents:
- Key holder agreement - I agree to look after all my keys, sign them in and out, not give them to anyone else, don't throw them overboard etc
- Loss Preventation - I won't give unauthorized discounts or give away product, accurately ring everyone through the register, follow the procedures for damaged goods etc
- Cabin inspection - that every thing was fine in my cabin when I signed on
- Personal declaration - list every item I brought on board with me so it won't get "confused" with any merchandise from the shops.
For someone who is normally overly organized when it comes to paperwork I can't believe it took me a month to do it.
After 9 days I finished port manning. That's 9 days of not getting off the ship!
Books read this week:
None. Well I started two but haven't finished either yet. Instead I watched season three of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Love it. Can't wait for next season.
