Working hard on happy Cruises - Ramadhan in Upper Cruises

This story when we Ramadan in Upper Cruises.
By Jerry "Pare"
Ramadan is always greeted with a variety of reactions by those who worked on cruise ships. Indonesian crew dominated by Muslims even though kagak uniformly welcomed. There were happy, some feel the weight given to fasting in a place of work requires us to apes. There are cool duck moments not care about a thousand months of this month. But most greeted him with joy, marhaban ya Ramadhan!
Ramadan committee was formed, there are providers dawn sexy, sexy tarawih, hotbah sexy, sexy consumption after Taraweh, recitation sections tadarusan atawa other terms. Wild, like DKM jamie a village mosque who moved to the ship.

First Taraweh night almost all Indonesian crew of religious Muslims in the mosque tumplek tin that gedenya not much different from public lavatories Blok M, Jakarta, sampe corridor was full. A pity that non-Muslims they would pass through the corridor that could kagak, like those who go shopping at the Cempaka Mas kena block Engadget FBR (Forum Betawi Rempug-ed).

Many ujug-ujug more students than students Gontor, piety beratribut clothes, turban mounted on the shoulder, cap pilgrimage, while carrying prayer mats. Yet not one reply, usually kagak so, boro-boro prayers ... .. Very cool reply of the students ngeliat this impromptu. Alhamdulillah ... ..

Praying so hot like the city buses, air-conditioning fan was just not influence even into the wind niupin agencies Taraweh congregation. So even streaming keringet especially for those who like a complete beratribut Zainudin MZ. But the spirit of Ramadan did not shake them because of the heat. Taraweh take place.

LAOS another story. Cassette spiritual digeber kenceng really, not caring much for hours of another crew asleep. Who tuned in the village he once thought. Maybe he thought all the crew in the month follow-up Ramadahan dawn. So kalo tuh tuned the piping tapes, the volume is not diturunin to make other people nervous. Koq worship intention to make upset people, you feel sorry for those who are not Muslims.
During fasting ceritannya another. As a waiter at sebel ditempatin reply afternoon working on Lido Restaurant. There is a restaurant in addition to the swimming pool. Our eyes can not come fast, abis many bodies again swim the same tranquil sunbathing. Whisper heart says it's tempting, do not be seen dah! Emang, who peek? We do need to peek kagak, bother! Abis place was full of people who really just like basking seals, so yah ... gimana aja kali yah face ....!

Buka puasa most really bad again, especially children dining room, because it was busy-busy serving dinner. Abis kalo cabin steward children aja udah 8 hours on inattentive, careless in the mess room. More miserable again kalo pas Ramadan in the summer because we are open so late, at about 9 AM to 10 malem! As a guest ngambil food in the kitchen, at best we only sempet drink or eat at most cocktail fruit Danish pastry at breakfast the rest of the've hard. Kalo ati-ati not eat, can make keselek in the throat. Eat fast opening postponed, at least thirty cepet malem after dinner guest ngelayanin wrong. Jontor abis dah! His name was also exam ... ...

Sunday's first full messroom same crew that dawn as well as the Taraweh mosque. Second Sunday of Saur and Taraweh subsided, the less the third week, even weeks to live keeempat few. But malem takbiran reply, praying even rame again. So that night echoed takbiran to be heard in the corridors. But no longer, at least 12 hours takbiran malem was completed, it should be the next abis gawe, emang takbiran in the village.

Eid prayer the next day too. Usually on the rear deck, ngadep sea. The ritual was performed properly and worked as quickly as possible, for the time being pursued. Despite the continued shaking hands greeting rush back to the cabin deh create change. Cook the same work sarungan pake baju taqwa, ribet right?!

There's no such thing as deh lebaran nuance. Garing abis! That there are shades of routine, work, work and work ....! When other Muslims in the world at that time with your family celebrate Lebaran, nyekar, traveling as a child family nyambangin wife or girlfriend, pake new clothes anyway, fireworks nyundut joint hanging on a tree next to the hamlet of houses, eating the same diamond are given liver sambal banana, eat uli similar sticky tape, no longer eat lunkhead blom Condet. Eh we gedebak-thud instead ngelayanin dinner guest, guest rooms bersihin like a broken vessel. Bersihin deck, carpet bersihin ship, ship ngecet body, nongkrongin ship engines, just good kagak deh! Ironic really, when all at home again excited berlebaran of money that we send. Er who can only send him a grin instead of horses ...

Is a luxury for us who work at this place, when can berlebaran at home. This is what makes the sender agent sebel labor but mahfum. For a longer vacation crew fits as fast, usually will extend until the Lebaran holiday. Although repeatedly called tetep wrote the crew will play hard, wong Lebaran at home tuh dihargain same can not dollars.
