Bravo Bravo Bravo on Enchantment...

[GMoney]

I have a friend who is currently sailing on Enchantment. The dreaded Bravo Bravo Bravo! call went out over the loudspeaker around 1130 last night. Apparently the fire was in the crew area on Deck 1. No details on damage, but my impression is that the fire was small and confined to the immediate area.

 

Pax did not muster. The Captain came on and addressed the situation.

 

I sail on Thursday...

[Chris]

Hope everything is ok- Taking mom on her first cruise on Thursday :)

[dougp26364]

Maybe it's just us but we've heard either the Bravo or Alpha call on every other cruise we've taken.

[Mystaken]

I'm sailing on Enchantment on Monday. Hope damage was minimal.

 

I know what BRAVO and OSCAR mean, what does ALPHA mean?

Alpha is a cardiac emergency. What's OSCAR? Overboard?

[HurricaneSally]

OSCAR means there's a grouch at the purser's desk.

[Mystaken]

Yes, OSCAR is someone overboard. Only experienced it once, and the person that they thought was overboard (that they turned the ship around to search for) was actually in the casino. He didn't show up when the wife told him to and she assumed he jumped overboard. Dr. Phil might have been able to help... I think it was on Monarch in February 2005???

Sally - you have been watching entirely too many old (and not so good) movies!! :D

LMAO!!! I love that she assumed he jumped. Wishful thinking? ;)

 

Sally - can that grouch be one of the pursers? If so, I could have run around the ship screaming OSCAR on my last couple Carnival cruises!

[HurricaneSally]

Too much Sesame Street, lol.

[ckrobyn]

I do not want to hear those words on a cruise!

It was freaky enough when there was a blackout on the Radiance in 2005 that lasted for at least 30 minutes with the smell of smoke on deck 10 :eek:

I just got off two weeks on the Navigator.

The pursers desk had a few OSCARS! :eek:

Talk about people hating their jobs. They were all there. :mad:

Judging by some of the really not-so-bright people I witnessed at the pursers desk last cruise and their ridiculous demands, I can see were they might beomce a little grouchy. I swear some people think RCI should be able to make the sun shine and the rain go away on their command.

What do you mean that RCCL can't control the weather? I demand a refund as this is below what I expect of a cruiseline.:rolleyes:

Alpha is a cardiac emergency. What's OSCAR? Overboard?

Actually, ALPHA is *any* medical emergency. It's not specifically cardiac. :)

 

On my B2B, during the "empty" period of time, I watched the crew do an OSCAR OSCAR OSCAR drill. Someone threw a dummy into the water, and they were supposed to rescue it.

 

DON'T FALL OFF THE SOVEREIGN, people. They threw a couple of life rings at it, then just left it floating there. DEAD DEAD DEAD.

Great! Now if I hear them call Oscar oscar oscar, I 'm going to start LMAO!:D Everyone will probably think I'm a nut!:p If they don't already!:rolleyes:

[Nitra]

Next time you have a grouchy purser, ask them to send out the Oscar call, when they start asking questions, tell them it is because there is a grouch at the pursers desk.. either they will get a tad upset or laugh but I have seen very little get smiles or laughs from some of those folks and I have tried!

Hi Chris! I'm in Charlestown Too! Maybe we know each other?
