.. when the hospitality department makes up new crew's room.. we go into a cabin with already residing crew mates.
All crew are responsible for cleaning their own bathroom, floors, sheets etc...(essentially their whole cabin). Sooo when they receive a new cabin-mate.. all we do as the hospitality dpt. is make up the new bed.. and disinfect their cabinet space. EASY PEASY.
However. Mercy Ships has many guests that come on board the ship. And these guest do not get thrown into 6 person births in bunk beds (athough I've heard some strong opinions on that topic =) ) Most of these guests, however, are part of what they call "Vision Trips". Which are trips of groups normally around 3-8 people who are large donors or potentially large donors for the Mercy Ship organization. And they are interested in seeing where they're money is going or would be going .. or how a project is progressing. OR yea .. you probably get the point =)
SOO they stay in these VERY nice guest cabins that basically look like rooms on a cruise ship .. and each person has their own room. even though there's two beds.. we make them both up.. very spacious, kitchenette, and yeaaaa.......
SOO these take a lot of work to get ready b/c these vision trips come often and they require a lot more cleaning bathroom, scrub shower, mirrors, sink, drains, toilets, news dishes, clean the coffee maker, vacuum, disinfect all surface areas, make both beds.. you know anything you might do if you were having a guest in your house .. make a pretty fan with the end toilet paper square! (??) the usual. =)
So.. we have 3 Vision Trips this next week and so we were making a lot of those rooms up so it was a lot of learning! =) but I've enjoyed it!
