Signs of life

Finally we got the expensive internet connection working...

 
The EPIC adventure has begun! Our first day on the boat started  early at 05 am. We recognized that a lot of the guest at the airport hotel was crewmembers on the EPIC. It was a fantastic feeling when we drove into the port and saw the beautiful Norwegian EPIC. 

From the first steps on board and until present we have had a lot to do all the time. 
Henrik and Sofia is looking confused after the intensive morning with a lot of new information.
The first two weeks consists of training, both security and service and we also try to practise as a trio before each night’s gig. This is a picture of us practising in "The Manhattan Room"
We have been playing in a dining room called “Taste” and yesterday we were in “The Manhattan Room”. It’s hard to imagine how big this ship really is. Just to know wich deck (notice we don't have floors anymore...) you are on can be a struggle.  But fortunate all crewmembers are really friendly and helpful so we feel welcome.  Today we are in Civitavecchia (Rome) and some of you may wonder what we thought about Livorno yesterday. For time being there are so many new things to learn and training so we have decided to visit the ports next week.
This is a picture from when we had to write a personal escape route and write the name of the fire extinguisher.  We also had a firedrill yesterday and we will have them every week. Here you can see me an Sofia waiting for the fire drill to start.
When we are on the boat everybody need to wear their nametag both in passanger and crew area. It feels a bit strange to wear your nationality like this. And the point of being a Scandinavian Trio is fading now  when I'm official french ;)

Even if we have a lot of training we also have a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from our nice time on the boat.

  2. Ååååh!! Nå ble jeg glad!! Jeg har ventet i spenning i flere dager nå, og sjekka facebooken til dere alle tre i håp om nyheter. Hihi! Stalker-Lene:) Fantastisk gøy at dere er i gang, og VELDIG gøy med blogg! Setter stor pris på at dere tar dere tid til å blogge litt til oss som sitter spent hjemme og lurer på hvordan livet på EPIC utarter seg. På det første av de nederste bildene så det først ut som at dere var på Staggen, så jeg ble litt forvirra ett øyeblikk! :) Du får skaffe deg ett lite klistemerke med norsk flagg, som du kan ha på navneskiltet ditt, Bea.:) Kjempegøy å "høre fra dere", og dere ser helt smashing ut alle tre! Enjoy! Klem! :)
