The last day of the cruise with an entirely new internet system was something myself and my trainers and co-workers were dreading to begin with (I was joking that I was going to miraculously develop the flu or some such stupid thing just to get out of it).<\/p>\n<p>And then\u2026in a case of the world\u2019s worst timing. The gremlin\u2019s struck again.<\/p>\n<p>We all woke up this morning to no internet signal.<\/p>\n<p>None. Whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>No one can log in. Not crew, not pax, even our email connection to corporate (which is usually the last thing to go down) is spotty if functioning at all. We are, pretty much, cut off from the outside world as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>On a day when 1300 passengers are all going to want to print their boarding passes. When there\u2019s a huge storm on the East Coast that is grounding half of said flights anyway and people want to know about <i>that<\/i>.\u00a0 Seriously, this couldn\u2019t have gone down on a worse day. Especially since I\u2019m still trying to return about 200 books that are constantly coming back\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>I hates gremlins!<\/p>\n<p>We finally got the system back at about 11:30 in the morning, which had the effect of making the afternoon that much busier, but there\u2019s nothing much we can do about that. Thankfully, management does have my back, and after this? I\u2019ll definitely be more sturdy on my feet as far as conflict goes!<\/p>\n<p>Though I swear if <i>one <\/i>more person yells at me today for something I can\u2019t fix\u2026 *sigh*<\/p>\n<p>Aw well, at least we only go through it once a cruise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last day of the cruise is always the busiest.
