Sea Day Three -Morning

I am going to miss waking up to the view!

Grandma Trudy slept in and the rest of us started our day in Blu. We were impressed that the delicious fruit plates still had raspberries on them thus far into our cruise.  



Sweet Pea orders a grapefruit half which always amuses the waiter.  One of our only, very piddly,  complaints for this cruise is that they do not prepare or segment the grapefruits as well as they did in Luminae.  They cut off the bottom and make an attempt to run a blade around the inside peel, but it never releases the fruit completely.  Sweet Pea has struggled with them every morning and I usually have to help her.  

Of course Sweet Pea went to the kids club while Ross and I played our morning trivia.  Grandma Trudy found us there and was delighted to join us for a trivia game that involved a lot of Irish / St. Patrick’s Day questions.  Many people were dressed up for St. Patrick’s day and he got right in with her festive shirt.  

Q. What 1959 Disney movie, staring Sean Connery, is about a shopkeeper who matches wits with a leprechaun?


A. Darby O’Gill and the Little People.   

I had no idea, but my awesome team mates knew the answer.   We actually won this round!

Next we headed downstairs to the Ensemble Lounge for a sudoku competition.   The winner solved the page in under 3 minute, which we thought was amazing.  Jas, a member of the activities crew, came up to us after we had solved the puzzle and said that he just couldn’t figure out how to play.  Ross spent a few minutes explaining it to him.   Later, on our way out is the room, we saw another woman explaining it to him again.  We figured it was his shtick to ask his smarty-pants passengers to explain it to him.  

Grandma Trudy wanted to go get some sun I the pool deck so Ross and I grabbed some iced tea from the cafe.  We chatted for about half an hour until it was time to pick up Sweet Pea and head to lunch.
