Hi Folks! As I like to say, “wash, rinse, repeat” and that’s what we did on our third straight sea day. Yep, pretty much the same routine we do on sea days (don’t you love a comfy routine?) slept in a little, got a workout in at the gym, ate great food, played some fun games and saw two great shows (no education or football today!).
As to the passenger games on board today we played Bocce (my Italian blood made me have to beat Kathy!), Axe Throwing against the Captain and Officers, Shuffle Golf, and Name That Tune. We won 8 Regent points today! Double YAY! But the Officers beat us, BOO! By the way, the Regent points can be accumulated to get Regent gear/Merch at the end of the cruise.
They had an early show tonight at 6 PM with the Comedian/Magician from last night, JP Parent. His show was called “Comedy and Mentalism” and he was hilarious. He did great magic but his comedy is even better. He was really funny trying to read people’s minds. But his last trick was crazy. He took a deck of cards wrapped in rubber bands and threw it to one person in the audience and they threw it to four other random people and each had to pick a different card and he guessed all five of them! How did he do that???
After the early show we had dinner in Compass Rose with Marcie and Jim who we met playing all the passenger games. They are very nice and love to travel just like us. They’ve gone to one of my bucket list places in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. It’s known as the Polar Bear Capital of the World where the polar bears gather on the shores of the Hudson Bay. After talking to them, I’m ready to book it!
For dinner I had the Crepe for my appetizer, the Salmon for my main and the Creme Brûlée for my dessert. Just like always everything was delicious. After dinner we went to the evening show which was The Rave-Ons again tonight and they were even better tonight.
The show was called “Early Rock & Roll Radio Review” and they sang some classics from Elvis, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and the Beatles. All great music!
After the show we called it a night since we have an early excursion tomorrow. We’re in Acapulco, Mexico and we’ve never been there before so we’re excited to see it! Hope everyone had a great Tuesday!
