Day 3

Day three was pretty lazy. After getting up, we went to the Windjammer (the buffet dining room) and got some coffee and breakfast. While we were there, we ran into the people from Houston that we had met the other day. There were two young ladies, Rabia and Amanda and two older ladies Jo and Carol.

We sat and talked with them for a while, swam and laid out in the sun for a bit before planned activates began. First was the Men’s Sexy Legs contest. This pretty much consisted of guys trying to strut their stuff and impress the surrounding ladies. The winner however turned out to be a man named Warren. Warren is 89 years old and surprisingly did have nice legs for an old man. (So I was told by the women at my table. I surely was not looking at some old mans legs.) The pic below of Warren is a little foggy because the lens fogged up after bringing the camera from the cold A/C to the humid Caribbean heat.

Warren is the old dude in the white Kangol hat.



After this, they had the Women’s “Best Biceps” contest, which was similar to the men’s contest and consisted of women strutting their stuff. I stopped paying attention and have no idea who won.

Before dinner, we went to the show for the day. This day featured Bowser’s Rock and Roll Party. Bowser is from the 70’s group / tv show Sha Na Na, who gave us such great songs as The Hand Jive, Goodnight Sweetheart and others that we could not live without. Personally, I was not impressed overall. I think that many of the older people that remember Sha Na Na from their youth however enjoyed it greatly.

Later, at dinner, everyone was talking about what they had planned for the next day in Jamaica. We talked about going together, but Vine and Elaine had planned excursions, so that just left all of the San Antonio people. Arlene did not feel well and left dinner early, then the rest of us met up at the Shall We Dance room for The Quest.

The Quest is fun. :)

Ok, so The Quest was interesting. We had never done it before, but will probably do it on every future cruise. Here is how it works. About 800 people show up and split into around 100 teams. Each team gets a plastic card with a number on it. Our team was number 11. Dan Dan the Party Man says that he wants to see something, for example “a woman holding a white shoelace out of the shoe”. At this point, every team scrambles to find what Dan wants to see and then a representative (in this case a woman from the team) quickly walks (running is prohibited) to Dan and shows him the item. When he sees your card and whatever he wanted to see he yells out your teams number. When Dan yells your teams number, some other crew member records points for your team. As I am sure you can imagine the chaos. Here is a picture of one of the contestants with three bras on his head.

While our team did not win, we had a good time.

After The Quest, Nick and Kendra went to change and we never saw them again, but they were on their honeymoon, so we understand. Manuel stuck with us for a while and later we decided to meet with him the next morning at about 9:00 and hit Jamaica with him and Arlene.
