Today is a Sea day and we started out with room service. Our schedule is back to normal again since they have bingo 2 times a day again. I mentioned to the Casino guy selling bingo cards about it being 2 times today and he said they would continue it. They had changed to once a day to see if they could draw a bigger crowd but it didn’t work. I could have told them that. It is the same people there everyday. He said that usually on longer cruises the turnout is lower.

Before Bingo was trivia and we didn’t do that good but I enjoy going because I feel like I learn things. Hopefully I can retain at least a fourth of what I learn.

Beth came and sat with us at bingo in the morning and Mary P won $60 on game 1 and I won $80 on game 2. Now when we win, we don’t even get to say our name and where we are from. The bingo caller announces it! We aren’t very popular with the other bingo players. One man was talking to Mary P on the elevator and threatened to break our arms. The ladies in the cabin above us told us they were going to throw something down on us when we are out on our balcony. When we were collecting our payout today a lady said we should be banned from the afternoon session.

We had hot dogs with David and Beth for lunch and watched a Mojito making demonstration which was down by the pool. Well actually I didn’t pay much attention to them but I heard them making noise and talking and I looked at them every once and awhile so I guess I did kind of watch it.

We went to music trivia which I knew nothing about but we had to get there early so we could get our seats for bingo later in the afternoon.

The future cruise consultant did a presentation on upcoming cruises. The 2019-20 season will be released for sale on April 19 and he will be working as long as he needs to for everyone to get booked on the cruise they want. Beth has her eye on a couple that she is going to try and talk David into.

We played afternoon bingo and Mary P won game #4 for $120 and I won game #5 for $160. We got even more dirty looks.

Bingo was followed by trivia and I knew nothing today. I guess if I had to win something I would rather win at bingo than trivia.

After resting in the cabin for a bit it was time for dinner. The special for tonight was chicken fajitas. As I am picky about fajitas I ordered scallops. However when Mary P got her fajitas they looked so good that I changed my order. Since I had already received my scallops I ate part of it and it was very good also. I am totally stuffed now.

After dinner we went to the casino to cash in our winnings from bingo. We also decided that we had done so good today that we were buying chances to tonights lotto drawing. It is up to $380,000 now.

We went to have our picture taken but tge backdrop didn’t look that great for the 2 of us so we passed.
