Cruise Vacation Day 3- Fun day at sea!

Wow!  What a great nights sleep!  the bed was just right and the rocking on the boat was so gentle that I slept so well.  My sickness even stayed pretty calm so I wasn't up all night coughing!  Last night before bed we went over the schedule for today and chose what activities we wanted to do so we were ready to go when we got up.  We met up around 9am for brunch.  I don't care much for breakfast food so I got the Cesar salad which was pretty good.  Jon got the eggs Benedict and Damon and Andrea got pancakes.  Brunch took a while, but we met a nice old couple who are quite the cruisers!  They have been on 21 cruises over the last 8-10 years.

 After brunch we hit the quizzes in pursuit of some 100k gold plated plastic ships on sticks.  we lost at "morning trivia fun" but enjoyed trying.

 We ran upstairs to get good seats for the cooking demo and enjoyed mushroom soup, spinach salad, chicken with mac'n'cheese and potatoes and we passed on the tiramisu.

We tried the TV theme trivia but it was all theme music from really old TV shows so we did terrible.  Next up with HARRY POTTER TRIVIA!  Which I was super excited about.  The boys ran off to watch the Hairy Chest contest while Andrea and I played.  i only missed 2 questions, "how many staircases were in Hogwarts" and "What was RON Weasleys patronis" but I got a bonus point for knowing the whole address where they sent Harry's Hogwarts letter.  I ended up tied for first place but I missed the bonus question "what was the name of Dudley's school" (Smeltings) but I still won a ship for Andrea and some bingo cards.

 After the trivia, we met back up with the boys and went to tea time.  It was only ok, but we had fun with the dainty food and good conversation.  We hit our last trivia contest after that, "star wars" and lost, we only got 17 out of 20 right.

 Andrea wanted to lounge in the sun so the boys and I got swimsuits on and went on the water slides while she tried to catch some sun.  Then we all went into the "hot" tub before dinner.

 It was fancy night in the dining room so we got all dolled up for our lobster dinner.  It was fab of course!  Dinner lasted a long while, and we had just enough time after to change our clothes and make it to the comedy club.  the comic was pretty funny, not amazing, but he had us all laughing at one time or another.

 We finished our night playing card games in the empty dining room.  We also managed to plan out tomorrow too.  We had such a full and amazing day, I can't wait for our next fun filled day at sea!
