Rhonda Bracey: At Random

Another ‘at sea’ day today. The changeover of passengers was obvious everywhere we went on board today. So far we’ve only seen 4 faces we recognise from last week, other than the crew of course.

I spent much of the morning figuring out how to use my phone and tablet to record a eulogy for my best friend’s memorial service (bathroom towels came in very handy for propping up both!). Then spent the rest of the morning by the pool, then we went into the air conditioning and the Explora Lounge and completed two 500-piece jigsaws in about 5 hours. A very lazy day, where we walked fewer than 2,000 steps; other days have regularly been 8,000+ steps).

This evening we participated in the music trivia quiz, as we have most nights, but with four new team members (2 from London and 2 from Edinburgh); the previous two from Kansas had disembarked in Barcelona. We came equal 2nd on 80s music, losing by just 1 point. We’ve really been enjoying the evening music trivia nights—they start at 9pm, typically when it’s still light out and the ship has either just left or is about to leave port. We try to get to the 5pm general trivia competitions too, but sometimes we haven’t been on board to make it.
