We had probably one of the most entertaining pre-port. Dean Byron, our Dean of Students, addressed the issue of alcohol use on the ship. Most of the staff are especially concerned about Mauritius because many students use it as an opportunity to rent villas, lay on the beach and party. Apparently people who sleep on the ship while in port were complaining about the loudness of drunk students coming back on the ship late at night. So Dean Byron said that 95% of us usually do alright with this, but there is about 5% of the ship who are just dumb. So Dean Byron reminded all of us to not be stupid because when you are stupid it is not cute (ie having to have a crew member carry you up the gangway). Then go to the aft because that is where you can be loud. Therefore, “Don’t be stupid – Be cute and do it in the aft.”
