Cruise ship, Caribbean and routine working day
Hello everybody. My name is Dima (Dmytro or (accent on the "i"), I was on a ship called the most)
The post in which I want to show you one of the days spent on the cruise ship Carnival Dream as an employee of the restaurant service.
Preface: I chose this day, not by chance. Later you will learn why. Position assistant waiter (busboy), includes a lot of responsibilities and change jobs (from working in canteens for staff, room service (food delivery to the cabins) and finishing work on the 10th deck, where there are different kinds of buffets, pizzeria , sandwich, etc.). At the end of my contract I worked in the so-called «Bistro team». This day shows a life (work and leisure) busboy who works in the bistro team.

1. Depending on the day (we stand in port or at sea all day) I wake up in different ways, but usually half an hour before work. It is very hard to get up at 6 am, so long stood for nearly a quarter.
2. Photo sleepy myself in the mirror.
3. Cabins have a small, but enough space. I washed and dressed for work.
4. Almost a standard pattern - my staff came in early room service (which we noted in the operator) and drink coffee (or have already had a drink and wait for those who are still drinking). This girl from Ukraine.
5. The night shift room service during the whole work. And I'm going to the 6th floor for 3, where the main galley (kitchen + main ship dishwasher).
6. On the line we are waiting for about 200 orders. Guests night before hung on door handles orders for breakfast, which indicate that they want, quantity, delivery time, your name and cabin number. Night Shift "room service" (where I once worked, too) puts trays with napkins, they placed orders with cards, mugs, spoons, cereal, sugar, cream cups - all under orders on the cards. We took turns taking orders and can report the rest (yogurt, coffee, tea, bananas, bread, butter, milk, etc.). Cards with the orders placed to the time (usually from 5: 30-10: 00).
7. Standard simple order ...
8.Koridor cabin guests, which I am order. This time I had the order at the front of the ship. Because the place from which we take bookings is closer to the rear of the ship, I have to go through almost the entire ship, and it's not close. But I love these orders, because I can go back on the open 4th deck and relax a bit.
9. Order delivered, I even left a tip is not bad ($ 4). Great start to the day! (but, unfortunately, I then did not have much luck with the tip). The inscription on the card «Rise and Shine» - nedoslovno "Awake and Sing" in our opinion.
10. Here is the opening of the fourth deck. Left rescue boat, the fresh air ...
11. ... about. St Martin on the horizon, and then swim up.
12. Sometimes I go back and other decks (in the ship)
13.
14. At the next road to the delivery, I meet a friend from the Philippines (I have with it is another story dating, so I decided to take a picture with him as a souvenir).
15. Sent Martin - view from the deck of our ship
16. All orders are smashed - demolish the remnants of reserves back to Room Service.
17. Since this is my last week on the ship, I photographed many. Our supervisor (matron), assistant head waiter and me.
18. Oh, and before each start and after work, we celebrate in a special apparatus. The clock 9:31.
19. I go to his cabin A-561
20. change clothes quickly and at 10am we have friends outside of the ship
21. In the port of many people, as is 4 large ship, one of whom Oasis of the Seas - the most extensive liner in the world. Little girls in green offer to try the coconut cocktail. I tried it before, but I always take the tradition of free probnichki. Since this is my last St. Martin (well, and the port at all) on this ship, I bought myself a cup of this delicious «coconut smoothie».
22. We go to the beach (one of the few of our ports, where the beach is relatively far away, and there you can walk).
23.
24. Before you go swimming, we decided to sit on the internet. Wi-fi catches of bars Honky-Tonk. In the photo are my friends.

41. Another «Clock in» before proceeding.
42. In the evening, all of the bistro team working on the 10th floor called LIDO, where there is a restaurant Gathering. It is the place which contains different buffets and fast food places. I would like to note that all the food on the ship free (ie included in the price of the cruise), so guests eat a lot.
43. Most of the waiters are engaged in cleaning the tables after guests. My job is to group glasses and mugs and replenishment stations with drinks. Work is not very heavy, but it is there all the time, without stopping. Often it is necessary to wash the cup itself (using the dishwasher, of course) when the dishwasher is not enough time to deal with cups.

53. Also, on our ship on Wednesdays at 10 pm this razvlekalovka held for guests, as a Mexican fiesta. It's basically a massive dance + a contest. It's all happening on the 10th deck, so I got out of the restaurant to the pool to take pictures.
