DAY 23
Barcelona, Spain
10:56am
So we got our schedule for the week. It's looks pretty sweet. I'm working most of the day tomorrow. Sports from 8:30am : Golf, ping pong, croquet, shuffleboard... Until 3:30pm
We have to be back onboard at 5pm. So I probably won't get to do much outside.
But that's my only sports duties day for that whole cruise!
I'll be hosting 2 afternoon teas. So will have to be back onboard a little before 4pm twice
And then I'm either free or only work at night
Which is once we've sailed...
Soooooo... I just signed up to escort a bunch of tours in brazil and Argentina!
I'll have to get final confirmation, but it should work out for most of them...
I'm super excited. Haha!
Tours of cities such as Salvador de Bahia or Rio, and I won't have to pay for a cab to drive me around...
They are organized excursions that the guests can sign up for
(Well, buy... for an average 150$ each)
And I signed up to go with them, for free, as an escort, so that they have a familiar face from the boat escorting and not just a tour guide they've never seen.
Well, technically I'll be on duty if I do that. Just have to pray for those tourists to be relaxed by then and not give me crap hahaha Cause if one decides to complain I'm the face of the company then.
It should be fine tho. And if someone bothers me I'll kick them off the bus, trolley or tender... ;)
DAY 31
Mindelo, Cape Verde
1:25pm
I just came out an entertainment staff meeting. Tomorrow we have a celebration for crossing the Equator.It's like a sort of initiation. There's gonna be King Neptune (the ship’s doctor) as a Master of Ceremonies.
We (dancers) are gonna be sirens in the jacuzzi.
And apparently the ones that never crossed the equator are gonna have to kiss a big fish.
That's all I know. Lol
Looks like it's gonna be another crazy one... (Oh I don't think I mentioned, we had a country fair yesterday morning on the pool deck. And I was running baggo/ beanbag toss, another American "tradition"/game I didn't know).
Anyway. I'll let you know how it goes and what happens.
11:52pm
Yea
Hold on a second
Kiss a big fish?
What the hell
I know lol
It's a sailor initiation/tradition
I'll take a picture, I guess.
I don't know what kind of fish
Lol
I imagine it's a person
Nooo
A real fish
The galley (kitchens) cleaned it today
._.
Not a person... I'm gonna kiss a fishy fish.
I'm guessing your going to wish it was a person
;)
Ooooh
I can't watch because YouTube is blocked here to save bandwidth. But I understand the title
I can only imagine what this sounds like!!! lol
I really like that singer. Really old school Spanish. Reminds of Puerto Rico every time I hear it
DAY 32
Hey there!
So i have little pictures from yesterday cause I wasn't the one taking them. I didn't take my camera given i was going to be in a pool.
But here is what I have.
We kissed a salmon. Got "baptized" with green iced water (mint syrup).
It was fun. Very theatrical. People enjoyed it.
I had a bunch of other duties the rest of the day. But I have little duties today.
I did "doors" to a lecture about baseball. Then a fashion show for the jewelry boutique. Was wearing about 80 000$ of diamonds, including a necklace Eva Longoria supposedly wore at some award show.
Very hard life. Now I'm free til greetings for a loyal customers private function. So I'm on the upper deck sunbathing.
Every once in a while a big cloud comes and blocks the sun but it's quite windy so it never lasts much.
So hopefully I'll have a nice hale by the end of the day. :)
