well first of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR! i hope everyone celebrated the way they wanted to and are enjoying themselves so far this year! all 24 hours of it.
let me just say, holidays on the ship: bittersweet to say the least. Christmas was tough but thank god for my ship family making it special none the less. we did a secret santa within the entertainment department with the hosts and the djs and then we also did a white elephant gift exchange on christmas eve. i ended up with something called a 'music bullet' which is basically a mini speaker for my iPod which is kind of cool. i haven't used it yet but i'm sure i'll get to it. on christmas day we had a holiday show for everybody - it was kind of like your typical school christmas recital. the camp carnival kids, circle c and club 02 teens came up and performed for their parents which was really sweet. after that, myself and diane led different crew members down the aisle to represent the different nations that are represented on board. we ended up with a very delicious, but unconventional christmas dinner that included rice and garlic chicken which was very bizarre but delicious none the less.
new years eve was another crazy event here on board. i finally got to wear my sequin dress which was a total hit. everybody loved it - not that i was wearing it for everybody else but we all know its nice to get complimented on a dress :) the entertainment team had to blow up almost 600 balloons that were going to be dropped in the atrium. i didn't see the party that went on in the atrium because i was up on lido deck where the band was playing. at midnight we were to set off some streamer cannons - mine and same didn't work. womb womp. but at least other peoples did so there were streamers don't worry! we were up on lido for about an hour ish before we headed down to the crew party where the crew without guest privileges were partying. i had to kick out a few guests that showed up so that was fun playing security. next party to hit up: the nightclub which was absolutely packed. so many guests and a WHOLE lot of crew. the party there was SO much fun, until Brian gave me a bloody nose :( he wrapped his arms around my legs and i thought he was going to pick me up so i bent over to tell him no and he shot back up and smashed my face with his head. so first bloody nose that was fun. ben took care of me though with some napkins and making sure i didn't drown myself with my blood lol. so it was an eventful way to bring in 2013 in the middle of the atlantic ocean. good times. so glad i didn't have to work until 12 today!
happy new year everybody! about 6 more weeks!
ps there are SOOOOO many canadians on board this week! it feels a lot more like home hearing other people besides myself say 'eh' is that sad or what?
