At
Sea – February 19, 2018
Woke
up to a rainy, cool day (high was only in the mid-60s) so I did not go to water
aerobics.
About
seven of us at Sit and Stitch. Judy (one
of the three Judys in our group) found the knitting needle I had lost almost a
week ago.
All
present for morning trivia and we again came in one off of the winner who had
12.
1)What
“p” word describes a group of parrots?
2)Who
was Jane Porter’s significant other?
3)Who
wrote “Roll Over Beethoven”?
4)The
swan is native to which country?
5)What
is the name of the drive-in in Happy Days?
I
had a burger from the Dive-In for lunch.
We
made an owl pincushion in arts and crafts.
Afterwards I sat and read and knitted until time for afternoon trivia.
Only
five of us for trivia. The theme was numbers and it was hard. We ended up with 9 out of 21 with the winners
having 15. The six bonus points were based on how close each team came to the
actual total of adding all of the answers (we got one).
1)How
many bones in the hand?
2)How
many elements on the periodic chart?
3)How
many time zones in Canada?
4)How
many eyelids (per eye) on a camel?
5)How
many watts in one horsepower of energy?
Once
again we stayed and talked after trivia.
Listened
to Jamm for about a half hour before dinner.
There were only four of us so we sat at a smaller table to make it
easier to talk. I had a ham croquette,
Korean boneless beef ribs, and an apple sundae for dessert.
The
show tonight was a documentary by the BBC.
HAL and the BBC partnered up recently.
This presentation was called “Frozen Planet Live”. The band along with the Adagio duo played the
music for the scenes about life in the Arctic and the Antarctic. Absolutely amazing photography.
We
gain another hour tonight. Albany
tomorrow.

Just did our first HAL cruise this past fall (on the Nieuw Amsterdam) and got to enjoy the Planet Earth video with the live orchestra playing the score. Outstanding...and even more so because we have a cruise booked to Antarctica next year!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your blog so much, but realize how awful I would be at trivia. I enjoy reading the questions though and hopefully some of the facts will stick in my brain!
The photography in that video was unbelievable. I am going to Antarctica next year and can't wait to see all the penguins.
ReplyDeleteThis trivia is the hardest I have had on any cruise!
Are you doing a Holland America cruise to Antarctica? (We are booked on the Zaandam.) I would love to do an expedition style ship that actually lets you set foot on the continent, but sadly that just isn't in our budget!
DeleteI am doing the Grand South America and Antarctica on the Prinsendam. I think the whole 80 day cruise will cost about the same as one of those 10-12 day expedition ones.
