Just arrived in New Orleans

I just sat next to someone on the plane who I think was a lady of the evening. She was dressed fairly flamboyantly and was counting a strange amount of cash on her pull down tray.
I was afraid it was all a hoax when my name wasn't on the greeter's list at the airport. The greeter was missing a fair number of teeth and smelled close to death. They were also missing my envelope of information at the hotel desk, but luckily my reservation was still on file and I got my meal vouchers.
My roommate at the hotel is a delightfully friendly Serbian guy named igor. He told me all about how royal Caribbean has a habit of transferring its employees from ship to ship with little or no warning. I hope this isn't the case for musicians!
The shuttle leaves for the boat at 10am tomorrow. Igor says there's a huge party at 3 once all the new guests have arrived and everyone is required to dance. We embark at 4pm. Zoinks!!
