Inspiration charter ends..back to the regular clientel

It has been an interesting week for me. It has been full of many highs and lows. It started off pretty good. We had just finished our Gaither cruise. Which was lots of fun because well lets just say I had no idea who the Gaithers were, but I got extra sleep so that was nice. It was a weird cruise there was no dancing allowed and alcohol couldn’t be shown in any of the bars. All they came for was to watch the Gaithers. If you are like me and don’t know who the Gaithers are they are a gospel singing family and they have a huge following. I treated them like every other guest, well because I didn’t know who they were, so I couldn’t tell them apart. I was in the elevator with Kayla and they walked in and I said “you guys going to come up and party in the Crows Nest tonight?” Mrs. Gaiter replies, “Where is the party at?” I said “wherever you want it to be.” They got out and Kayla shook her head at me and was like I can’t believe you just asked the Gaithers to party. Hey even Christians can party….just don’t be dancing, now.

The start of this cruise my daddy took me out to lunch and I got to see my Leif while in Seattle. So here I am thinking this is going to be a great cruise…umm yeah first formal night comes around and I meet Mr. Creepo. I know girls can be bitches sometimes I have been one myself, but when creepos act creepy you have to be mean. First off he isn’t a bad looking guy maybe just socially awkward, but rule number one pick up lines are not attractive. I was wearing a blue dress and he said you been floating around like a blue angel, will you be my blue angel? No biggie I can let that one go, but it got worse. Later in the Crows Nest we were talking because at this point I still didn’t know what type of guy he was. You know my job is to entertain the guests. So we start talking, I of course bought him a drink, duh so I can drink as well. The conversation went like this; Creepo: So your job is to make me happy? Me: Yes I am here to entertain. Creepo: Oh I should start making a list. Me: Sure I guess you could do that, but I did just buy you a drink that should be good for now right? Creepo: Well, I could have used you earlier. Me: Yeah, why is that? Creepo: Well, I was in the hot tub and I needed a back massage. Me (disgusted face): okay well I wouldn’t have done that. Creepo: yeah I asked my mom and she wouldn’t either. EWWWWHHH! Then a slow song comes on, of course perfect timing yeah not really. He of course wants to dance and he kept creeping around and trying to move my hands as I kept moving back. At this point I was done and told him I had to go do other duties. The next night I was greeting people at doors and there is a thirteen year old on board that has been pretty bored and has been bugging me and the others. Kids I can handle, creepy guys on the other hand, ewhh gross. Anyways the kid sees creepo and yells at him “hey I know you.” Creepo comes over and says “is this your boyfriend?” Ha, that is so funny, not really. Then Creepo says you should practice pickup lines on Rachelle she loves it. I say real quickly no, not so much. Then he tells the kid, “use pickup lines on her then I can slide right in.” Then I say the show is starting you better go, thank god. Anyway that was the first 3 nights in a nutshell ever since I have been avoiding him like the plague. I think he has finally gotten the hint.

Then the fourth day happened to fall on Ryan’s Birthday September 3rd. I got up at 7:30am and decorated his door with lots of balloons and I spelt out Happy B-day with condoms. It was quite amusing. Then that night Ryan and I decided to go bar hoping around the ship. We started in the Crows Nest were we had 2 raspberry margaritas. Then we went to the Lido Bar and had a chocolate cake and a long island iced tea. Our next stop was the piano bar; there we had a tequila sunrise. Then we worked a little bit and had a few more drinks. By the time country night got going it was a little rough. I have the hardest and last dance of the night to teach. This is of course on a microphone and in front of lots of guests. I started my dance by saying now lets grapevine to the right, clap, clap and then lets grapevine to the right, clap, clap. I mean your other right which would be your left. Then the next part I don’t remember, but everyone told me the next day what I did. There is a part in my dance were you rock forward and rock back. Well during the rock forward part I rocked a little too forward and said in the mic “whoa” and almost lost my balance. Then country night was officially over, but I took Shelley and Ryan to one more place. We went to the lido bar and had another chocolate cake each. Ryan and I both felt it the next morning we woke up with pounding headaches.
