Almost Missed the Cruise Ship!

We were on a bus and driving to the cruise ship port. The ship was ready to leave. We went through the building, and suddenly, BLACKOUT FOR 3 SECONDS. I and all my cousins and other people screamed but the lights came back on. As we came out of the building and went on the boarding bridge, the lights shut off. I knew that meant the gates closed. When we boarded the ship, not many passengers were there because no one was boarding anymore. I was glad we were able to make it home. Phew!
