Did I mention before that there is a version the “Knit, Needle, & Hook” that meets in the Observation lounge on sea days from 1000-1200? Anyway, I moved to the meeting area a bit early from my usual hang out area in the lounge. I am still working on “Fishy Goings On.” No surprise since there are more than 17k stitches all told. Since there are only ~ 4 sea days left plus the 4-5 port days – there is no way I will be finishing this piece during the cruise. I am willing to add it to my WIP pile and pull it out again on the fall cruise. Obviously it needs to be stitched – fish, sailing boats, and sea serpents, while on board.
And then there was the Code Bravo, confusion, misdirection and other fun things this evening. The good thing? The electrical short on Deck 9 was detected almost immediately with appropriate crew response. Then all the fire doors closed. The staff in my section was directing people down to their assembly stations. Meanwhile, those on the lower decks were telling people to go to dinner (!Huu?) Or get a drink or … and the elevators were running. I know it was Deck 9 from both the announcement and having gone out that way passing fire responders, maintenance people and a nasty smell of fried wires. Yep = electrical fire.
So the fun is now over, I am back in my cabin post caging some summer in the Garden Cafe. Tomorrow is Guatemala.
