Another USPH Scare

Well we thought we were going to have another USPH inspection this week as the day before we got to Juneau one of our ships was checked. Also that morning another of our ships was inspected. Everyone was freaking out and they denied us shore leave to get off the ship. What a bummer, and they didn't even come. All of that nonsense for nothing, anyways we still have to be ready for the next few weeks until we pass through Hawaii. Only 4 weeks left in Alaska!

On our day in Skagway we really were in the weeds. We had the Dine with the Chef dinner that night plus regular service in the restaurant. The Dine with the Chef was only supposed to be 9 people with a maximum of 10, so we always prep for 10 just in case. But someone in the front office took a reservation for 4 people and forgot to put it in the computer. We now had 13 people and not enough mis en place and we just got slammed with 10 tables at once for dinner. We pulled through it, but it was crazy busy.

Overall not a whole lot happened this week, just the same old same old. I have looked over the upcoming schedule for our crossing and have found that I may not be able to get off at every port because we don't dock shore side. Sometime we have to take the lifeboats to go ashore and that's after all of the passengers get off. I hear it takes a long time, so I guess I have to miss out on a couple of islands, but I can take pictures from the ship, ha.
