It was hard getting up this morning at 730 after going to bed around 230, but I drug myself out of bed for MORE TRAINING! This morning was fire safety training. After going over some materials in the conference room, we went up to the aft mooring deck to learn how to use different types of fire extinguishers and hoses. It was really awesome shooting the fire hoses off the back of the ship. They had so much power that the safety officer had to put his hand on my shoulder so I didn't get knocked backwards from the water jet! There was a Carnival ship mored directly behind us and we could shoot from our ship and hit their bow (not sure if Carnival would approve of this)!
After training I went to get some lunch. I saw someone that was on my Quest team from the night before so I sat with Cynthia who is from Brazil. It's nice not to eat alone! We were also joined by one of her friends, Ian from Chili, who is the ship's International Ambassador. Part of his job is to translate for the Captain, so every time the Captain makes an announcement over the PA system, he repeats the announcement in five different languages. Amazing!
It's currently 1215 and I'm debating whether I want to take a nap or go exploring in Barbados. I don't really have any work to do until 1900 and it feels great to just sit in my bed and do nothing.
Edit: I went on land in Barbados, hence this being posted now!
