Kind of a random question for anyone on the WC - what's the trivia like? We love to play the various trivia's and I was wondering how the CD crew was getting along on the WC? Not like the typical week long cruises when you can recycle weekly... 🙂

 

Pretty much the same as any other cruise.  The one thing about trivia is....you can pull a lot of info up  from anything.  😉

Most trivia is the same folks winning. 

 

They are doing a progressive event each week. On sea days

I thought he was. 🥱

[island lady]

What is a better word for boring?

 

 

dull humdrum lifeless monotonous mundane stale stodgy stuffy stupid tame tedious tiresome tiring trite uninteresting.

Now I don't know what is appropriate here. So before I get slapped I'm off to play elsewhere....

Sooo...getting past that...as I stand on my balcony, I am feeling so grateful to be here to watch the world pass by me.  So much world out there, so much I will never see in my lifetime.  Just so happy to stand by as a witness to the appetizer of what I can view of our beloved planet.  Just not enough lifetime to see it all...but damn...I am trying to make an effort of it while I still can.  😊

You left out pretentious and entitled.

That was not my post...but a cut and paste from Wikipedia.  😉   But I agree with your additions.  😄

Better to pass by some than sit back and let it all pass you by. You will never be able to grasp for the gold ring if you never get on the ride.

Awww...thanks my friend.  The only thing that would make it more perfect...would be to have you and Kathy with us.  🥰

Agree. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

As Laura said, this morning, Progressive Trivia was at 10am.

Theme Trivia (today was Big Bang Theory) was at Noon.

Afternoon Trivia is at 4pm.

Then there’s 7 o’clock Trivia.

 

I think it’s pretty much the same every day.

Very well said.  

[island lady]

Amazingly still very calm seas.  Not what I expected from open Pacific...but happy to have it.  Approaching next port of call Arica, but oddly not until 11 am tomorrow.

Lunch today at Chops with dear friends Lee and Adida.   Such a great time.  Our favorite breakfast waiter.  On a side not, Ellen came in briefly to say hello.  She has a badly pulled muscle in her calf and has not been in for awhile.  We miss her.  

 

 

When you mentioned the name Adida earlier I thought I recognized it. 

Now I recognize her photo.  She is a ticktocker with some drama/rumors last I saw a week or so ago.

We had a fantastic dinner at Chops tonight!  Our Waiter Paulo spotted a Pod of about 8-10 humpback whales right outside the window!  So cool!  Hope we continue to see whales as we move north towards LA!  Beautiful sunset as well!

It is prime time for grey whales. And there has been a locally famous pod of Eastern Tropical Pacific Orcas hanging out near San Diego and south, feeding on dolphins.

Yeah, she is a tick tocker...but compared to others on that website...she is much more tame.   She and I are on different media sites...but still friends.  😉

Not sure if that is her, or if she has a CC name...but I have pointed out to her how to get on the CC website...she had difficulty trying to find it and how to pull up the threads.
