Next Mission: Rostock

Rostock is in the North of Germany and is mostly visited by Germans on their holidays.

My reason for going there wasn't as a holiday, but as preparation for my new job on the Cruise Ship AIDA. We had one week of preparation including theoretical and practical exercises.

During this week we slept in a little ship to get used to the surroundings and the limited space in a ship. The theory part wasn't as exciting as the practical part.

 I loved the part where we had to get into fire fighters outfits and practice an emergency situation, in which we were locked in a room and had to extinguish a sudden outbreak of fire in different areas of the room.

The next task was to simulate a sinking ship. Everyone had to get into orange outfits, which allowed everyone to stay on the surface of the water.

I enjoyed the week with the whole team and was excited and well prepared to work on the big ship one week later!
