well, the first day of this run was half moon cay, on which i had in port manning… it was a quiet night, and without my bears and canadians i hardly knew what to do with myself! off at 12:30 ?!?! unbelievable! the next day was still a bit quiet, although i met some really nice folks and we had a small but happy core group stay til about 1… finally, last night we hit a stride and i found my party people – i won’t lie and say it was anything like the last cruise – nothing will ever be like the last cruise! but at least we had some fun and were rockin in there til 2… at the end of the day, i am a bottom line kind of gal – i want the guests to have fun, i’d like it to be in my bar, and i’d like my beverage staff to make some money! i know that i will be fine whether it’s busier or a little sleepier, and i always do my best regardless… i am happiest, tho when the bar crew and the guests are happiest… i think we will achieve that on this cruise as well… each different cruise is like getting dealt a hand of cards, and every hand can be a good one if you know how to play it… (but you never forget a hand like the 4 aces i had last run!)
anyway, we did frank sinatra and then request time, and we had a real lively singalong bunch! i think they will be back each night! i think i also got a holiday gig out of it from a nice portland
tomorrow is aruba, and i didn’t get selected for an expedition, so i will hit the gym and am taking my trainer, angie, out for indian food for dinner before the gig. that’s my tip for her trying to kill me this last week… hee hee! actually, i have been learning a lot with her this second week and i am doing well and making progress. she’s also got me on an herbal cleanse/detox and said we will see a difference in just the 4 wks i have left when she runs my metabolic tests again… i’ll keep you posted – suffice it to say, i am in a bit of pain and sweating a lot, so i must be doing something right! a few pics from aruba with my new camera tomorrow!!!! yay!
