Emergency Card upgrade

So recently they have given me a new emergency card assignment and now I am supervising crew muster station, which means that I have to count the people that are arriving to the station before they are led to the life raft. Then I have to call the Navigational Bridge and report the number of people missing. The cool part is that our Captain likes to do debriefing in the bridge after these drills, so I got to be in the navigational Bridge of a cruise ship. It's very spacious and has a good view point. Has plenty of similarities with the star trek bridge.

Today I am in Aruba, A couple of more day and my Sensai (Trainer) leaves to go on vacation leaving me alone on the ship, which would give me more room to breath. Right now it feels like I am driving with an instructor in the passenger seat. And that feeling is very familiar to me as I took the test twice :D.
