We were really tired this morning after being up so late the night before but we were up early for breakfast. We were going to try out the Solarium Bistro but decided on the Concierge Lounge instead. Since I normally eat cereal and fruit it really doesn't make any different where I eat.
At 9:00 we went with Pat and Terry to meet with the Future Cruise Planners. We were wanting to ask questions about how the program works and also they have a new ship coming out -- Quantum of the Seas and I wanted to ask questions about it. Unfortunately the guy we met with didn't seem to know much but wanted to get us in and out in a hurry and to book something. We didn't book anything and we somewhat understand the program. He told us things different from what we were told last time we were on board. I guess we will sort it all out later.
Mary P and i went and played Bingo and didn't have any luck. There really weren't that many people there but I figured out later that there was also something being held at the same time for Crown and Anchor Members so that may have been where some people were.
We decided to eat lunch at Rita's. This is a Mexican food restaurant onboard where there is a cover charge and also a la carte pricing. The food was excellent and I think I could eat there every meal but not interested in paying every meal since there is plenty of free food on board.
We rested more this afternoon. There were lots of activities going on but nothing we really wanted to do. I did sit out on my balcony for a while and watched all of the things going on out there. I decided that this cruise really wasn't like a cruise. It is more like being in the middle of an amusement park because of all the things constantly going on. It is really noisy out on our balcony. This would usually bother me, but I kind of like it.
Mary P and I decided to go to Win a Cruise Bingo. There were a lot of people coming in to play and I asked Mary P if she thought we should play. She said well we have as much a chance winning as all these people. I agreed so we decided to play. They had 3 regular games and the 4th game was to Win a 7 Day Cruise for 2 people. I am glad we played because I won game 2 and Mary P won game 3. We didn't have to split with anyone either. Between the 2 of us we won over $900! That is probably more than the cruise would be worth because it is for an inside cabin and those are pretty cheap.
After Bingo it was time for dinner. It was formal night tonight so we had to change into our formal clothes -- black pants and a shirt. As we were walking into dinner I said this should be renamed Formal Night to Going to Church Night. At the early dining people weren't dressing formal, they were dressing like they were going to church. I did even notice one family coming in to eat in jeans. On other cruise lines I have been on, they would not have let them in the dining room dressed like that but I think on Royal, anything goes.
We rested after dinner because we didn't have anything to do until our show at 11:00 pm. The 9:00 pm show was booked to capacity so we didn't try to crash it and waited for the late show and it was really crowded too. This show was the Singers, Dancers, and Acrobats and was really good. It is being done again tomorrow at 5:00 pm and we may go back and see it again.
When we got out of the show at midnight we decided to stroll through the Promenade to see what was going on. We stopped by at the Pizza place for a late night snack. This was the first time I have been there and it was really good!
We finally got back to the cabin at 1:00 am. We decided not to hop up first thing in the morning for breakfast but to order room service.
