Today I woke up to a knock on my door. I got out of bed, opened the door and to my surprise I found Ricky along with all the supervisors in the cruise division. It turns out that 9 cabins in the cruise division had failed cabin inspection so Ricky was marching everyone around to inspect the cabins so it didn't happen again. Well I had literally just woken up and suddenly had 6 people barge into my cabin. Talk about a rude awakening. They didn't know why I had failed cabin inspection, as there was nothing written on the paper that said I failed so Ricky just told me to get  new shower curtain as mine was a bit dirty looking. This is because my shower takes 3 1/2 days to drain after every shower so the curtain is always sitting in dirty water that slouches around as the ship moves. I've had Facilities look at in multiple times but it always seems to clog up immediately after they unclog it. This afternoon I stole a shot vac from the stage staff and attempted to suck the crap out of my drain so we'll see if that makes any difference. edit: it has!

This is a random thought but it literally feels like Christmas was about 2 months ago. I cannot believe that it only happened 3 days ago. It seems impossible. My brain cannot comprehend that it happened in this same cruise. I can't explain to you how long ago it feels. The cruise ship time warp continues…

This is a scattered post, but more randome news: I finally ordered an intervalometer for my camera so I can make some time lapses. I want to show the ship coming in and out of various ports. I also plan on shooting a time lapse of Dancing Under the Stars because Ricky wants to show Miami how the party progresses throughout the evening (morning). Hopefully I can get some pretty cool shots! It should arrive in San Juan by Saturday so hopefully I'll have it for this next cruise!

As I write this post I'm getting eaten alive by some sort of ants that I think could be fire ants as my feet and legs are starting to really burn so I'm going to go. This always happens in St. Croix and yet I continue to sit in the same spot on my computer. Yes, crew members can get pretty desperate for internet.
