Finally! I have news!

Okay, I know it's been WAY too long, but I swear, there wasn't much to tell! Half of you have probably abandoned reading the blog, but that's too bad for you...

Okay, so what's happened since the beginning of January??? Not a lot, I've enjoyed the islands, we mostly go out to eat, and then wander around for a bit - I haven't taken too many pictures, cause there really aren't a lot of sights to see. I've been to the beach a few times, there are some nice beaches on these islands! I've got a bit of a tan, mostly from being burnt and it fading to a tan. LOL

I've been to see my cousin Doug and his girlfriend in Barbados a couple of times, it was so nice last cruise to have a home cooked meal with them. Then they showed me the beach across from their apartment, it was so nice.

I seem to have found a very nice man, we've been dating since New Years and I'm sad that when we transfer ships in March when the ship closes that we may not be together. His name is Patric, he's from South Africa - and no I don't have a picture yet! Soon I promise! LOL - I'm sure you don't believe my promises, but I will! Maybe after Barbados this cruise!

Okay, so here's for the big news! The Guest Account Purser, Amy, and I got called into the Financial Controllers office yesterday morning to be told that Amy must transfer to the Century on Feb 18th, and that the office would be sending an apprentice from the Solstice to get a 3 day handover to take over the GAP position. Well, he didn't like hearing that, so he replied and suggested that I should take a step up instead. The office agreed and so here I go, my chance at getting the GAP (Guest Account Purser) position! I will have about a month to prove myself! When Amy leaves next week, I will have 3 cruises to close, plus have to help with closing the ship! If I can prove myself, hopefully they will give me a chance to keep the position permanently. Right now I am scheduled to go back to Infinity when the ship closes as an apprentice purser, but Amy was scheduled to go to Constellation when the ship closes, but now will be staying on Century. I'm hoping that I will be able to go to Constellation instead, and keep the position as GAP. So, keep your fingers crossed for me! I'm going to have to work my ass off over the next few weeks!

Okay, that's it for me for now, keep in touch! write me lots! I miss everyone!

Love,
Tabs
