Romanian Rumbles, Philipino Pleasure, & The Magician's Stateroom (PART 2)




Romanian Rumbles, Philipino Pleasure, & The Magician's Stateroom (PART 2)

VICTORY! I've finally made my way into "The Mafia" cabin party guest list. The Mafia is what the crew calls group of Philippinos who work in the fine dining as cooks because they always sneak sushi and escargot and basically anything they can out of the restaurants and into their parties in there cabins.

So i heard rumors. My roommate who is a cruise ship pro has been getting invites since the early 2000s but i knew it was my destiny too. i knew if i only worked hard, kept my eyes peeled, i would be eating sashimi at 3am in no time.

TONIGHT WAS THAT NIGHT! i saw the Philipino with the japanese bandana on from a mile away. i asked the casual questions...where do u work. what's good on the menu. when should i come visit...and then he replied...THE RESTAURANT IS NICE BUT COME VISIT cabin 3274 if you want real sushi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i ran into my room scribbled down the cabin number and with my class 1 status i will now ask the right question of my roommate to find one of these infamous parties. fishy updates to follow.

update already: i got invited to la cuchinas cabin party with shrimp and mussles. they invite us bak from garlic shrimp scampi tomorrow night.

and a plus...the lighting tech for the stardust theater alerted me that since i have befriended a passenger thaat there are no cameras backstage....ayayyaya. no need im sure.

and thirdly the magician/juggler/action comedian as he prefers to be called invited us to his cabin for some "room service". i dont know why i put quotes. it was a tuna melt. only a tuna melt...and chocolate cake...and strawberry shortcake. and 3 guys and 2 girls...so no scandal. in fact, we convinced him to do a kids show at the center so hes bringing his gear sans assistant to show us some moves!
