Thanksgiving

So last week was Thanksgiving. First of all, we had 750 kids on board, so it was insane! On top of that, we got into Baltimore at 2:00pm so we were really late getting everyone off board and we started loading people on at 5. We couldn't have our orientation meeting and just had to start registering people right when they got on board. By the time we finished it was time to open my club. So the first night was hectic!

Overall, my group was awesome. I really liked having larger group. It's a lot more fun!

Thanksgiving was rough. I had to open my club for a little in the morning and watched the parade by myself which was really sad. They made us a Thanksgiving meal in the mess, but it wasn't very good. They didn't even have potatoes! But, they tried, and they gave us free wine and beer so that was nice. I did go to Atlantis that day, but it was cold and rainy so it wasn't that fun.

I'm nervous for Christmas now, but Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, so maybe that's why it was so hard!

Halloween Booze cruise 2012!

So last week was incredible! We cancelled the cruise Sunday and had to get all the guests off. We then left around 6ish to get out of the way of the storm. We went down the Bay and anchored and just waited for the storm to hit. The storm hit Monday evening, and I honestly didn't feel it at all. Our amazing Captain kept us safe and sound the whole time. He's awesome!

In the meantime, we were allowed to roam the ship doing whatever and wearing whatever we want! Usually we have to wear dressy casual attire in guests areas, and not all crew members are even allowed to be in guest areas, so it was a treat for everyone. We were also all allowed to make reservations to eat at the Steakhouse, which my whole team and I did Tuesday night. We were also allowed in the Sports Bar and the Starry Nights lounge. Our Philippino band played for us Monday night and Wednesday night, and we had our Halloween party Tuesday night in the disco. Most amazing Halloween party I've ever been to! I was a disco queen. I felt famous; guys kept asking me to take pictures with them. Ha! Pretty funny. Everyone was there, even the captain, who got down on the dance floor!! The man can dance.

We got back to Baltimore Thursday night and did an overnight. We were allowed to be off the ship until 3am which was nice. I met up with 2 friends, Trevor and Daniel, from Charleston. It was fun and great to see them! Trevor and I went to dinner at this place called Mama's on the Half Shell. It was amazing, especially after having crap food all week.

So Friday, we then boarded guests for a 2 day cruise to nowhere. It was annoying. There was so much to do, and cram in 2 days, and it's hard to get to know any kids in 2 days, so I didn't like it.

We're now on our back to warmth an sunshine (hopefully)! We aren't sure about Half Moon Cay because we don't know how badly it was hit by the hurricane. Hopefully we can go because this is our last HMC run until May!

Hoping for a smooth and sunny cruise this week!
