End of turnover week & Naples, Italy

AHH! So turnover week is FINALLY over!! Today was our first day off!! But before I get into the details about today, yesterday was our final show, "That's Vegas." BOY what a show!! There's so many sets and special effects and costumes and all together its just WOW!! Not only did we do it twice in a row (8pm and 10pm), but we also had a full show for the tech at noon, so we did the show three times in one day; and that takes a lot of energy! But it was a blast. The second audience was amazing! They had such great reactions to a lot of numbers =)

Today, we had a fire drill and general emergency drill. The fire alarm woke us up at 9:30am, and we had to evacuate our cabins because the "fire" affected our part of the ship. Then we had to do the general emergency drill at 10:10am, where we are traffic directors (which basically means we mediate the traffic in the stairwells of the ship) and after that we are told to report to our life raft stations. So that was fairly quick and easy, so a bunch of us got ready and went out to explore Naples, Italy for the day! It was also one of my cast member's, Susan's, birthday today! We ate amazing pizza at Castel Nuovo and then did some shopping! I got a shirt, an italia jacket, a really pretty dress, a belt, and a birthday present for my old roomie =) Definitely successful!!

Tomorrow begins a new cruise, and we only have three shows throughout the cruise, so now we can REALLY start to enjoy the ports and go exploring Europe! I'm STOKED!!! It felt good to get off the ship today and accomplish some things, so now I can't wait to continue doing that at these later ports! We'll be at Civitavecchia tomorrow and the next day will be a sea day before we arrive at Dubrovnik. AHH I LOVE MY LIFE!! =)
