66 days and I didn't have to throw one guest overboard

Things to remember from the interesting cruise: Shrimp clogging the filter which postponed the sailaway at Puerto Chacabuco, Chile. 2 Earthquakes the same day in Chacabuco. Thought the ship was breaking down. At least one medical debark per port. Poisonous gases that killed 4 people and injured 17 in an explosion on the ship next to us, the captain, made us stay inside the ship or leave the port area. Steve’s broken knee, the 75 ft. rogue wave and its cousin, the man who I watched almost die has, to this day not woken from his coma. Found out later: Smitty died Wednesday, April 18th.
However, you spend 66 days with these people and suddenly lovely ones (and there were actually many) are hard to say goodbye to. We had quite a few guests that we became quite attached to. The cruise staff and I were invited to their Birthday parties and Anniversary parties and we had a lot of fun with them. The farewell (Love in Any Language) included MOST of the crew and the entire dining room staff dressed up in various costumes, the nautical department even dressed up as maps and joined in. It was the most packed I’ve ever seen the Queen’s Lounge. People were sitting in the aisles and on the floor, so we'd like to think they had a good time over the past 66 days.
