Well I've been promising this blog for quite some time now. I've kind of fallen into the routine of being back at sea and if you take a look at the slide show you'll see what that's all about. I am currently cruising Carnival's Holiday ... the oldest and smallest ship in the fleet. After working for Princess quite a few things here were shocking. The first time I saw the cabin I thought that there must have been some kind of mistake or that it was just a temporary arrangement. The cabins are barely big enough for one person let alone the two that they squeeze in here. The dressing rooms are like little closets as well and moving around each other to get changed is a challenge. The stage and the shows are good and the people that work here are great. I've made a few friends and have plans to visit a few of them at the contracts end ... that's going to be one random trip. As dancers/entertainers we do have a few extra duties including: working Bingo games, manning the library, teaching dance classes, running ping pong tournaments, sail away and deck parties, taking photos with the passengers (females only), and helping with the embarkation and debarkation of passengers. It sounds like a lot, but when you split it up between 12 dancers it's not so bad. We are cruising Cozumel, Calica and Progresso with a home port in Mobile, Alabama and I am loving the Mexican sun and relaxation. Right now we are at sea ... we left Cozumel about two hours ago and there are warnings of rough seas. This could mean that we won't be performing tomorrow night as the advisory states an indefinite period of rough weather.
Well there really isn't all that much going on at the moment ... I'm living, working, and partying of course. Hopefully there will be a few crew tours coming up to change up the routine we all seem to have fallen into. Cozumel = Barracudas (No Name Bar ... By crew For crew ... No cones allowed). Progresso = Cheap DVD's and CD's and Calica = Good food and Maumitas beach. I hope each and everyone of you are enjoying your lives as much as I am right now. With that said we have a new comedian on tonight and I'm off to see his show in a bit. Thanks for stopping in, Take care & Have fun!! :)
