New Years Eve! – The stolen year!

New Years Eve! – The stolen year!

Alright so you know how every new years eve you begin to wonder if the new year will bring change, and what events it will bring. Well directly following the New Years eve toast I found myself naming the year 2012 the stolen year because of the little incident I got myself into…. But let me start off by just telling you about my night!

Not really looking forward to New Years Eve because I had to work, I went into the night kinda down. It was Saturday so we go a whole new group of people on board today and I shot Emby photos all day long! Not too excited for the new year… but later that night I ended up going to dinner with Kristine and things started to look up! We ate a great dinner at Liberty and after dinner went and explored the NYE decorations! They turned to whole pool deck into one giant dance floor and to top it off emptied out the hot tubs and filled them with ice and champagne! It was really neat to see them testing lights and sound right before the big night! Our agenda that night consisted of multiple DJ’s and bands performing all around the pool deck all night long! At the stroke of midnight we were going to have a firework show and bring in the new year with a bang, free champagne for everyone (INCLUDING CREW!) Well threw out the night I was taking candid photos of all the party people, having a good time, dancing, and getting crazy! At the stroke of midnight we watched the fireworks and all yelled and screamed! This was the new year…. And this is when I made the mistake that could have cost me my job! When I went to go get a glass of champagne my boss said that they ran out… “I heard”

Go grab some more out of one of the hot tubs! So of course I charged down to the main pool deck with Megan and we each grabbed two bottles thinking im sure more crew will still want some champagne! When we returned to the room where they were serving champagne to the crew my boss says, “What are you doing with those, how did you afford that!” At this point im think ohhhh boyyyy what have we done. I tell him we took them out of the hot tub…. He was like NO! You have to pay for those! How in the world did you get those!? I told him we just jumped in the hot tub and grabbed them! Well after a we both realized what a huge misunderstanding we had we decided that since I accomplished stealing champagne that was being guarded we might as well open one up! Everything worked out in the end I did not get in trouble nor did we even have to pay for the champagne that we drank, but wow what a way to bring in the new year huh!! All in all the night was a interesting night, it was wild spending NYE on a ship sailing threw Hawaii. Ohhh and just for the record the bar department alone on our ship, on NEW YEARS EVE, in one night, in six hours of sales made a total of $78,000!!! Crazy right! WOW.
