At sea-heading toward western Africa
Doesn't really seem like we've done almost 3 days at sea. Lots of enrichment lectures and photo workshops plus trivia keep us busy, and of course, eating.
Today the pool deck on 9 was cleared of all pool chairs and tables to make way for "The Country Fair", at 11am in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Tables were set up and were hosted by each of the ship's departments. Each table had a game passengers could participate in and receive a colored ticket for participation and 2 of "winning." Several of the passengers were clutching a handful of colored tickets.
The executive chef running the restaurant's game
ACD John handing out the tickets
Beer pong for tickets
Deck crew gives out tickets for knot tying -- the Boy Scout years return
My favorite was Housekeepings contest of seeing who could stuff a pillow into a pillowcase first. Many of the women passengers were quite good but some of the men resorted to brute force cramming their pillow into the case....very cute!! One guy was very deliberate in his actions and I thought that if he was responsible for making the beds of several cabins it would be an all day job for him!!
The Human slot machine--pull the "lever" and 3 kinds of fruit appear from their sacks. If all three match, you win!
The CD pulled tickets out of a container and the winners holding that number received O items: keychains, visors, spa treatments, wine. This lasted about 45 minutes and when I looked at the pool deck after lunch in Terraces the pool deck had been returned to its normal self. Amazing effort! Great fun, O crew! Thanks for all your hard work!
The captain
CD Andy singing and handing out prizes
Everybody had a good time
We had dinner with the Captain and Denise Flokos who were very gracious hosts. I complimented the Captain on his great skills as a chef! Three other couples joined us and everyone, except for the Flokos, were from Florida. I think they said something about living in....er....Greece, maybe?
I hope I always remember what a wonderful day at sea we had today.....c
