B747-400 LANDED AT DEST AHEAD OF SCHEDULE; AND FLT ATTENDANTS DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT TIME TO SECURE THE GALLEY PRIOR TO LNDG.

Narrative

WE ENCOUNTERED TURB AT AROUND XA25. THE ARR SVC WAS SCHEDULED AT AROUND XA40 (LNDG AT APPROX XC15-XC20) BUT WAS VERY DISRUPTIVE; AS WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO BE SEATED MANY TIMES. WHILE WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO BE SEATED; THE FLT DECK CALLED FOR A CREW CHANGE; COFFEE; AND FOOD -- EVEN THOUGH WE WERE STILL GOING THROUGH ROUGH AIR. I HAVE REFUSED TO GIVE THEM COFFEE BUT HAVE TO COMPLY TO THEIR REQUEST FOR BATHROOM BREAK. I HAD TO SIT IN 12B (VACANT SEAT) WHILE WAITING FOR THEM TO USE THE FACILITIES BECAUSE THE TURB WAS GETTING WORSE. WE HAD TO RUSH THROUGH THE SVC. NO HOT DRINKS WERE OFFERED AS WE WERE STILL GOING THROUGH TURB. THE FLT DECK CREW WERE QUICKLY GIVEN THEIR MEALS AND COFFEE AS PER REQUESTED. WHILE WE WERE PICKING UP THE TRAYS; THE FLT DECK CREW SUDDENLY MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO PREPARE FOR LNDG. WE CLRED AND SECURED THE CABIN AND GALLEY AS MUCH AND AS FAST AS WE COULD. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO DOUBLECHK IF THE GALLEY WAS TOTALLY SECURED FOR LNDG. WE LANDED AT XC00 20 MINS AHEAD OF TIME WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MANY OF MY CART DOORS WERE NOT PROPERLY LATCHED BUT THE 'QUARTER TURNS' WERE.
