Well, we took a cruise to Antarctica.
Had a great time. Icebergs penguins, seals whales. A trip of a lifetime.
But what made it really exciting happened back in our cabin.
Before we went to breakfast, Lady A was blow drying her hair in the cabin, not the bathroom.
Well, there was a lot of steam. And evidently, the smoke alarm was having none of it.
And off it went.
They don’t ignore smoke alarms on a ship.
Even though A waved the steam away and the alarm stopped, they get notified on the bridge and the fire control center. Almost immediately, there was knock on the cabin door. firefighters to assess the situation. I’m glad they react that quickly. Checked the smoke detector and advised her to use the ship provided hair dryer instead of hers.
Where was I? Reclining on a semi hidden sofa, in my long pink nightgown. Just bottom of the nightgown and legs sticking out. Never had a chance to move or change clothes. The fireman never looked around the corner nor inspected the rest of the cabin. Just the alarm. But for a moment, my heart pounded much louder than the door knock or alarm. Made for a memorable moment. Whew.
