Around the Horn

Day 14: At Sea

This was the final sea day of the first leg of this historic trip. A good day to spend tying up loose ends and preparing for our stop in Rio.

This was also the final day of the Cruise Director's Trivia Bowl, the ongoing tean trivia challenge in which we had participated during each sea day. I am happy to report that the "Divas and Wannabes" took the Grand Finale by one point to claim the Trivia Championship. We each received a Royal Caribbean messenger bag which contained a keychain, luggage tag and passport holder.We also received a 'gold' medal and, best of all, bragging rights. We will defend our championship on the next leg of the cruise.

Today was also the premiere of the Hornblowers DVD, part 1. We assembled in the Conference Center to see the preview of the labour of love that Patrick had put together, a DVD of all our Hornblowers at their various activities. We can hardly wait to see the DVD for the next leg, as people are getting more enthusiatic about photographing their friends around the ship.

This was also the last formal night for this cruise, and Carol, Susan and I had some casual Lifestyle portraits taken by and with Christopher, the handsome photographer.

Tomorrow : Rio De Janeiro
