HOD

Gah! I've been quiet lately! I'm sorry! Quick update on everything!

Last week we were in Nassau. I finally got to go to the Atlantis and spend a good chunk of time there! And by chunk of time I mean like 6 hours - it was SUCH a great day! Pretty sure the other girls that I went with (Kristen, Megan and Mary Margaret) got sick of me pointing out everywhere that Mary-Kate and Ashley filmed while they were there! 'Oh I saw this in Holiday in the Sun!' 'They shot a scene right there!' 'Mary-Kate and Ashley were standing right here!' Yeah, I'm ridiculous. I'm not going to post the photos on here but if you're reading this, you've probably seen the link on my Facebook to all the pictures from Atlantis. We pretty much stayed on the lazy river all day. Rapids, water slides, waves - so much fun! We also got to visit one of the aquariums - and MK&A definitely filmed in there too; just saying' ;) 

I now actually have to DO something for boat drill - like help guests. Who wants to do that? Just kidding! But really -_- Before I was at crew muster station 1 which means I just had to go up to my spot and wait for my lifeboat. Now I have to guide guests to the right spot and then put them in the lifeboats. Yay me. 

Something exciting that I've been waiting to happen since I got here finally happened yesterday! I was in the middle of one of my trivias when Kirk, our Cruise Director, came over the loud speaker to let us know that there was a pod of dolphins following the ship. Lucky for me, we were on the right side of the ship to see them and they were right outside the windows by our trivia! It was a pretty cool thing to see not going to lie! 

One of my biggest pet peeves on board - the laundry rooms. There are 920 crew members on board. Guess how many laundry machines there are? 12. Of each. 12 washers. 12 dryers. Just TRY doing your laundry without having to guard your stuff - good luck with that. -_- 

Now this week is going to be pretty crazy for me! You won't have any stories of me getting off the ship this week because I'm Host on Duty! Which basically means, if someone needs to find something out, they call me and I give them the answer. Kind of scary considering this is only my 3rd week. But with Kiki leaving today, there are now only 3 hosts. Thank God everyone is so helpful and answering all of my questions. As host on duty, I had to do debarkation this morning - made a few mistakes but they're pretty understanding and forgiving considering again, this is the first time I've done debark on this ship. 

I ended up with a new roommate today too - Sunshine moved out to move in with another one of the guest services ladies, and one of the hotel ladies moved in with me. Her name is Ant - I think :S She's asian and I didn't quite understand what she said - I do a lot of smiling and nodding when she talks to me. I think charades will be the way to go most of the time with her. OH - and they took my good TV! I had a flat screen, like 24 inch tv in here and now I'm back to a dinky little like 12 inch screen from like 2004. Womp womb. I guess I'm not in here that much anyway but still - it was a nice little luxury for a bit!

I also hosted a few more things by myself in the Taj Mahal (which is our main lounge) with the big screen and I'm just glad that I'm able to set all of that up pretty much by myself. Its very exciting ;) 

Hopefully you've checked out my latest pictures on Facebook, I know a few people who have already ;) 

Missing everyone back home. Just think - 4 and a half more months! (so much for a quick update that ended up pretty long!)
