Last night I was running the Welcome Aboard show. We record the show and then broadcast it for the guests that night and the following day. The beginning of the show always starts with a graphic and then fades into a video roll. The graphic also appears again when the show is complete. So I did just that. After the show ended I started playing the show from our video server. I did a few other things in the office and then went down to my cabin around 0045 to head to bed. Around 100 my phone rang. Apparently instead of using the Welcome Aboard graphic, I used the Farewell Show graphic. The graphics are exactly the same except for the huge letters that read either "Welcome Aboard Show" or "Farewell Show". Apparently I was just looking at the colors of the graphic and not actually reading it because I thought I was using the correct one. Opps. Live and learn.
This morning we were in some left over rain from Maria, so the outdoor events were cancelled. Luckily the rain let up around noon and we were able to hold the Men's Bellyflop Competition in the afternoon. Ricky, the new cruise director, runs the events differently than Mark but so far I like his changes.
This evening is the Captain's Welcome Aboard Reception so I have to wear a tuxedo. Last week the button of my tuxedo somehow got caught as I lowered the camera from my shoulder and I ripped the button clean off. Luckily I realized what happened as soon as it happened so I was able to find the button on the ground and save it for repairs. It was slightly embarrassing as this happened right in front of the stage in the theater so everyone was watching me search for my button, but I did find it and was able to have the tailor sew it on today so the jacket is good as new!
