This morning we had coast guard come and run a boat drill with us. They do this on every ship approximately every 6 months. They ensure that we all know what to do in an emergency and they make the call if we set sail or not. If things don't run smoothly and we seem like we have no idea what we're doing, we don't leave port.
We do what we usually do for boat drill. I had to run up to my club (on deck 10) only to find that the fire door was closed and I couldn't get it! The stairs that I take to get up there were also closed off because they were doing a fire drill so I was frantically running around calling my supervisor to figure out what to do! I finally got in and then had to go down to deck 3 which is where the youth counsellors meet and then I went to my assigned literacy. I am the only American and only girl in my raft, so I really hope I never have to be on that thing..
It's very nerve racking because the Coast Guard can ask anyone a question on any of the emergency things we've learned, and apparently they are very intimidating. Luckily, idiot get asked anything, although I'm confident I would have known the answer!
I'm out in Baltimore now waiting on food from Cheesecake Factory!
