Distinct lack of posts since my last one. I must apologise but this has been one of the craziest 4 weeks I have ever known.
The ship is up and running now. Had a very shaky first week, especially as we got the passengers who weren´t interested in having a nice time but were looking for things to be wrong/go wrong and make big deals out of nothing!
Now however we have the nice passengers and the weather to go with it - this last week has been absolutely stunning - shame I´ve been woking like a badger and not had much chance to enjoy it!
My average day starts at 9:30 am (background music change) and finishes at 1:30am (taking the band off) so am very tired.(enough to be slurring when I talk and for folks back home to notice when I talk to them!) But Dante has a cunning plan so hopefully We´ll all get a more balanced day now!
The team are getting on well although everyone is feeling the starin at the minute but all seems cool and the crew party the other night was great!

"Tell The World To Go Away" (Disc 5 trk7)
An Appropriate quote form sorting the Kareoke Discs today where me and Vicks probvably got the closest to hysteria we´ve ever been!
Got a meeting in about 10 minutes so this will be a listed update.
Got to ship in Greece fine (Although Munich Airport is like being in some 50´s movie set in the future)
45 minute taxi journey was interesting, slept most of way.
Spent 3 HOURS in the port terminal waiting for all my papers etc to be sorted by the port agent.
Am Sharing a cabin onboard with Vicks. She´s the female Entshost. It was her Birthday the day after I arrived. Cabin is OK, got a port hole which is funky ...ahhh daylight!
Been working every hour I´m awake since I got onboard which seems like an eternity ago, and am now in a permament state of 1/2 consiousness, but still smiling!
On the fist day with passengers 2 memebers of our team...how shall I put this... disembarked for various resons (the first one without telling anyone he was going) and the passengers this week are determined to find every possible thing wrong that they can!
On the other hand the team are great we´re all feeling the tiredness but we´re just keeping going and trying to cheer folks up! Gotta go, credit is going to run out.
