There’s nothing like playing mind games at 9:30 a.m. on a cruise ship.
Quizzing people has become a staple of my routine, along with boat drills and visiting the Bahamas. I’m a part of the entertainment staff aboard the Carnival Fantasy.
A lot of passengers are interested in what it’s like to work on a cruise ship. I work 65 hours, seven days a week. For six months, my sole duty is making sure everyone has a good time. Despite the long days, I love my job.
Trivia ends at 10:15 a.m. and I’m off to the towel-folding demonstration. Guests love the towel animals placed in their cabins by room stewards, so they’ve come to see how these are made. It’s normal to have more than 100 guests attend. It’s serious stuff.
At 11:30 a.m., it’s time for Bingo.
Off to lunch by 1 p.m.
