Sea day/Lauderdale/Sea day

Nov 23rd-25th
Sea/Lauderdale/Sea

As usual, two sea days with not much to write about. Most of the 23rd was spent on All Access, as it was going to be the first time that the new cast performed it for an audience. The show went well, and we all hung out later and I got to meet most of the cast members. We had a jazz jam that night, and that was about it for me that day.
Lauderdale started off with a coast guard drill. This meant we had a usual boat drill, but the coast guard was there to make sure we did everything right, and in the case that they saw something they didn’t like, we’d have to do it all over again. Luckily, everything went quickly, I didn’t even really see any coast guard people, and the drill was over relatively soon (for a boat drill). Following that, I did get off the ship for the first time in the US, which was nice. But the place where we dock is a million miles away from anything worth going to. So after a got off and walked 40 minutes, I did eventually make it to a shopping area, where I picked up a couple things. I did, however, get a chance to talk to my family while I walked, which was nice. I eventually made it back to the ship and did the usual thing for when we get new passengers…boat drill, welcome aboard show, parade. And that was about it for the day.
Then came another sea day, and like last time we left Lauderdale, I did the discover shopping show in the morning for 3 hours. That evening we played Delisco’s show, a show we’d played a few days earlier. The music was all the same, and the Stevie Wonder Medley kept it fun, but he has a bad habit of going 15 minutes too long, which kind of sucks for us sitting up on stage. But that aside, there was pretty much the 25th. Tomorrow’s Jamaica though, and I have cool plans to go free diving with Thad at some cool beach! Seeya
