Today was spent relaxing and participating in trivia
challenges. Our team in the second round
of the progressive trivia challenge finished third, so we are still in
contention. These trivia challenges are
lots of fun and you get to meet a large number of the passengers.
The last few days Celebrity has been hawking their future
cruises by claiming huge discounts and signing bonuses for booking a future
cruise on-board. Given that we have booked a Mediterranean cruise with
Celebrity next summer, we went down to their kiosk to check what savings we
might be able to get and found that Anna Oliva
from Merit had been able to get us a far better deal that what they
could offer. Our cost through Anna was
$2,000 less than what Celebrity was asking and Celebrity was only offering up
to $800 in credits. Thanks Anna.
The seas have been a little bit calmer today. The waves are about 2 meters in height. So people are not feeling as queasy as they
were yesterday. Norm though seems to
have caught a sinus infection. It seems
to be going around the ship.
The passengers are a mix of Americans, Canadians, Brits with
a small number of Europeans and Arabs.
Surprisingly there isn’t a large number of Japanese or Chinese. At times it seems that we are back in Port
Stanley as everyone says hello even though they don’t know you from Adam. I’m disappointed with Marg. There are at least 3000 passengers and crew
and she is only friends with a 1000 people, but the cruise isn’t over yet.
The evening’s show was a comedian / sound effects
impersonator named Steven Scott. His
comedy was a bit lame but when he combined it with his sound effects he was
very funny.
