We have a new PSD (Passenger Services Director) who is basically just one below the Captain and she is wreaking havoc throughout the ship. She is power hungry and follows company policy religiously. If any of you have read Harry Potter, she has to be the incarnation of Dolores Umbridge. I’m so glad that I only have 2 more weeks of ship life! Just to give you an idea of how she is functioning we have these affirmation cards that are suppose to bolster our customer service and they change every day. Today’s card is “Be Polite”. The PSD is randomly checking crew members to make sure they’re carrying their card on their person at all times and if they aren’t she is taking their name down and reporting them to their supervisors. I fell victim to her antics for playing Scrabble. Two other band members and I were playing Scrabble in a passenger area and apparently she received a complaint from a passenger and reamed our supervisor for our misconduct. Luckily all the managers think she’s nuts and aren’t really enforcing all her policies. For all the things to get in trouble for, playing Scrabble has to be one of the lamest! She is also measuring name badges to make sure they are exactly an inch away from each other.
Anyway, the other reason I think it’s time for me to leave the ship is because all my dreams this past week have been about home. I finally saw a whale yesterday swimming next to the ship. It was very large and black and spraying water out its blow hole. Nothing else to report for now, except my count down to disembarkation is in full swing!
