One thing about working on a cruise ship is, you never know what you are going to run into. It is interesting to see what most would call “normal people”, act so differently on a ship than they may act in the normal life.

This is a short story about a night time stroll around the ship. I had just finished work in my office and thought it might be nice to get some fresh air before heading down to my cabin. I was in the forward part of the ship and started toward mid-ship (the middle part of the ship) stairs.

As I turned the corner to go down a passenger hallway towards mid-ship, there lying on the floor was a women. To be honest, I did not see her face, as her dress was pulled up over her face, and she was not wearing anything around he “nether regions”.

I immediately I asked her if she was ok, to which she responded, “ I just had the best F... (intimate experience to say it nicely) of my life”. Well, what does one do when they happen upon this scene?

There are moments we look back on and decide we did exactly the right thing (which for some of us, myself included, is not very often). Once she told me in her own special way that she was ok, I stepped back, went down the hall and called the purses desk to inform them of the situation and to please contact security to come to my location.

So I waited down that hall by the elevators and waited for security. When they came I explained what I had seen and what she had said and told the security officer she was all his.

After that, I felt it was time to retire for the evening as I did not know what else I might find down the hall.
