![]() At least, unlike on Carnival, I wasn’t soaked in brine and packaged to eventually end up on someone’s pizza. Muster drill is one of those “this sucks, but it’s for your own good” situations that, no matter how many treats you promise to give me later if I just keep quiet, I’m still going to bring out my best “3” for. As it happens, people aren’t receptive to that kind of enthusiasm after having just turned back on their work phone and hearing “you have 659 new messages.” I’d understand that feeling in a week and, after being dragged kicking and screaming off the boat by security, would glare at the people waiting behind that same window. I spent the next half hour trying to get people to smile and wave at me as they passed by the window on their way off the ship. Once we did, we were checked in and seated in under 20 minutes.

And when, instead of wondering if you’re trapped in one of those “Extreme Spring Break” videos they used to sell on MTV in the ‘90’s (that would have been my spring break cruise on the Carnival Sensation – I’m still washing barf out of my hair), you find yourself on a ship where your fellow passengers are sipping fine wine and wondering in French (it was spring break in Montreal) if “that dumb American voted Trump.” For the record, I voted for Batman. ![]()
