Times are a'Changing

Well, the tsunami was so ineffective to our ship that I slept right through the "big wave" we hit at 7am, and that was the worst of it. Thankfully we were in the middle of the Pacific, which was the safest place to be in that situation.

With the start of yet another cruise to Hawaii brings some changes on board. We have the replacement Cruise Director training now with our current one, and she will take over next cruise. That will definitely be a big change, first of all because she's new, but mostly because that means my man leaves. :( And the fact that Eric gets to go home makes me want to go home sooner, too! Is it June yet? Just a few more months....

We're also getting a new entertainment department: stage crew. Usually the stage crew consists of workers from all sorts of departments like engineering, cabin stewards, etc. Now, however, it's a department fully devoted to all things dealing with entertainment on the ship, so that's exciting. But it also means we will be having more dress rehearsals this cruise to help the new staff practice.

There are also lots of birthdays this cruise, so it will be filled with many celebrations! The Coast Guard is coming to inspect the ship when we get to Honolulu, so we've been having a lot of drills in preparation. There are many scary questions they could ask us on the spot! (last time they came onto our ship I passed with flying colors. He asked me how to get to lifeboat 22 and I told him we don't have a lifeboat 22; it was a trick question! bwaha)

That's pretty much my update. Many changes ahead, and 13 weeks to go! I hope the weather is getting nicer for you folks back on land!
