P&O CRUISES’ Hotel Services
Engineer, Peter Woods,
has recounted
one of his most memorable
workplace incidents, which has
been highlighted on the P&O
Facebook page.
“One little old lady didn’t like
the lift, so she walked to the cafe
and went back to her room with
her cup of tea,” he wrote.
Apparently by the time she
reached her room the beverage
was cold – so she put her cuppa
in the in-cabin safe, thinking it
was a microwave oven.
After waiting 15 seconds for it
to warm up she found that the
door wouldn’t open – because
she has locked it into the safe.
“She went to reception
and they called the electrical
department asking for help with
the microwave.
“We told her there were no
microwaves in the rooms, but
we went up to help anyway,” the
obliging engineer said.
Upon arrival in the room they
discovered the predicament,
“and being electrical we didn’t
know how to break into a safe!”
Unfortunately the passenger
had no idea of the combination
she had used to lock the tea in.
“In the end she told us he’d
put it in for 15 seconds, so we
pressed 0-0-15 and it opened!”.
