The more times they say it, the more serious it is.

James is quite upset to hear about the announcement. Much later in the chapter, she relates a conversation she had after her return home with her friend James, who had been an entertainer on cruise ships in the past. A later announcement from the cruise director told Tina and her shipmates to head to their muster stations, and eventually they were told that there had been a fire, but it had been extinguished. The announcement doesn't mention "fire", by the way, just "bravo". "Bravo, bravo, bravo," it began, with an announcement of the fire's location on the ship. In the book, Tina recalls the announcement of the fire. Until, that is, I reached the chapter entitled "My Honeymoon, or A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again." Turns out that she and her (then airline-phobic) husband had taken a cruise to Bermuda after their wedding, and that one the way back to the U.S., there had been a fire on board the ship. I packed it because (a) I had already started it (b) it was the paperback, so I figured I could donate it to the ship's library when done and not have to cart it home and (c) it was funny, and therefore good "beach" reading.

Allow me to explain.įor my own entertainment, I packed her memoir, Bossypants, in my carry-on, and read it while waiting in airports and while lying by the pool on the cruise ship. And no, to my knowledge, she wasn't there. Kellyrfineman I'd like to thank Tina Fey for scaring the daylights out of me on my recent cruise in the Caribbean.
