Do we have a BINGO?

It was a sea day today as we slooowly cruise toward Grenada. It feels like the ship is hardly moving but we are inching our way along...not many miles to go and we have a whole day to get there so the ship is in no hurry. Since we aren't trying to work on our tans, we decided to stay indoors pretty much the whole day and do some things we haven't experienced before--an art auction and BINGO! Even lunch was out of our routine....we attended a Pub Lunch at one of the restaurants. It featured typical English Pub fare--Fish and Chips, Steak and Kidney Pie, and Scotch Eggs,...and Chicken Curry...don't know how that Indian dish is classified as English Pub food.

Then we headed over to the Art Auction and watched people bid on a variety of art pieces. People were buying the paintings and spending lots of money on them.

Then it was on to BINGO. We arrived a little early so we caught the last few minutes of a Trivia game. From the questions/answers that we saw, it was a good thing we didn't even try to play that game. Then it was time for the BINGO game. Tightwads as we are with game of chance monies, we only purchased one ticket, which gave us 4 games to play. We didn't opt to buy the special BINGO highlighter but a waiter (who looked like John Edwards) showed pity on us when we inquired about borrowing a pencil and he lent us a BINGO highlighter to use. I'm sure plenty are left behind by the end of the cruise so he had some stashed in a cupboard.

We sat next to a lady who knew her BINGO game and she clued us in on how to play. She was working 6 BINGO cards at one time; we happily played with just one! She WON the first game and pocketed $150. At times we felt the BINGO marker was going to dry up before we had a chance to mark off a number. It was fun, though. Thanks Lisa and Ryan for encouraging us to give BINGO a try!

No luck at winning but we did have fun

Tonight is the second formal night of the cruise. We did not pack clothes for formal night so we'll head to the buffet court instead. We have enjoyed a few shows in the theatre after dinner. Tonight a comedian is returning for his second show and he was hilarious the first time around so we want to catch him again.

Next island is tomorrow--Grenada!
