at Sea
One more stop remains on the trip. San Juan Puerto Rico. Unless something interesting happens after Wednesday I am going to end the blog and pick it up next summer on our way to Iceland.
Today was the mariner luncheon that recognized all 4 and 5 start mariners. Presty said they expected 500 for each of the two luncheons but there were only about 375 at each. The dining room was packed. I haven’t seen it this full during the entire cruise. This tells me that a lot more people are eating at the Lido Buffet where there is really no portion control. The gift that they will take home is the extra wide waist.
Team trivia was with Victoria. What is the main ingredient in hummus? (Chick peas or garbanzo beans) What frozen gas makes dry ice? (Carbon dioxide) What is the measure of electrical resistance? (Ohm) What does it mean when someone is canonized? (They are made a saint) Which Italian cheese means “recooked”? (Ricotta) Which color is the second from the top in a rainbow? (Orange) Which is the second largest Portuguese speaking nation in terms of area and population? (Angola) Which state is closest to Bermuda? (North Carolina) Who wrote the Hobbit? (Tolken) Which creature produces a gossamer? (Spider(web))
We packed one bag this afternoon. We will do the rest after Puerto Rico.
After dinner trivia with Thomas. The Rolling Stones. 10 clips of music. Luckily I am a fan and could name almost all of them. Paint It Black, Satisfaction, Ruby Tuesday, Heartbreaker, Angie, Start Me Up, Gimme Shelter. Brown Sugar was played backward. We missed that. 18 out of 20
Cards to finish the evening. Tomorrow morning before we port is the ship talent show. This should be interesting.…
