Two more weeks from today and I’ll be signing off and waiting at the airport for quite a long time… By the 4th I’ll be home in South Jersey and then working on seeing as many friends as possible in just under two months. for now, I have two trips on the Oasis left for the moment and lots still to do. Tuesday went almost as planned… Love Songs Karaoke was a bit sparsely attended, but Superstar was pretty good!

So last Saturday I didn’t bother getting off the ship since I had to hang around making ice in the middle of the day. I spent some time online, made some calls, passenger drill as usual, then nothing much till Karaoke. Karaoke started out a little slow, but ended up being one of the better nights we’ve had for a long time! We even had a bridal party who sang a few things! Read More …

This has been one of those weeks so far where life has it’s ups and downs… Tuesday was Jamaica, so not much to do during the day. I started my day helping to setup and watch the parade rehearsals for the new cast members, interesting, but nothing special. I went in to help out with some lighting maintenance in Studio B in the afternoon, then had Family Karaoke, which was a little slow.

Well that’s fun, I just wrote this whole blog and the computer erased it, so I’m gonna abbreviate… Friday, nothing interesting, the usual work… Saturday, All Crew Immigration at 5:30am, then just stayed up and got off the ship early. Shopping, internet, a few phone calls, back aboard… Passenger Drill, one last night of teaching Hairspray to Kent, a slow evening of Karaoke, then bed.

I’m recovering more slowly than I’d like, but feeling mostly better on average. Turns out that yesterday a few folks did go diving after all, just not me. It’s the folks working at Aqua though, so they will be able to do their handovers and I’ll still learn soon-ish… Moved my stuff, Shows were ok, Karaoke was slow, went to bed afterwards…

I know I’m not in the best of moods to blog, but I need to get this out of the way so I don’t forget too much… Backing up to Saturday, I ran Hairspray alone since Kent had to teach the Aqua track. Didn’t make it to Karaoke due to the time crunch, but I needed the sleep anyway. Read More …

Had a setup in the morning, CFWM in the afternoon, met with Matt about Light Tech stuff to get that rolling, so I’ll be working with him for awhile to see about that promotion.
