You know you’re working on the Epic when…

…you use the term ‘how are you’ as you say Hi in Scandinavia.

…you do the laundry on a ‘sea day’ because everybody else is working those days.

…you forget to tip your steward this week too (he’ll get it all next week).

…you hurry to crew bar to get the last order at 1.30am.

…you wake up to the general emergency alarm every Tuesday at 10am – seven short blasts followed by one long, equivalent in length to the last note of Händel’s Hallalujah choir.

…you’re always too late for breakfast. A cup of coffee will have to do, pizza lunch is not too far away.

…1-2am seems like a perfectly normal time to practice.

…you spend a few hours on crew deck to work on your tan.

…you get off the ship just to get off the ship and be able to walk around on your own more than 300m.

…you realise you’ve just passed through the security checkpoint without noticing it – it’s second nature to you.

…you change clothes in order to go to the passanger buffet or restaurants.

…your hands smell like Sanbucca after you’ve sanatized them before eating.

…you order a spring roll for starter because it’s the best item on the menu.

…you forget your keycard in your cabin and have to wait for Security to come and open it – again.

…you realise you have played a whole set with your nametag on (you’re supposed to wear them at all times, except when you play)

…American guests request Led Zeppelin from the classical trio.

…guests gets up their camera as soon as you start to play Vivaldi’s Spring.

…you go down to crew mess in the breaks just to get away from the guests.

…you regard the last set of 45mins of music as almost done.

…you see dolphins jump in the water in the front of the ship in the sunset.
