October 13 - At Sea in the Mediterranean



Today we had a full day at sea.  The temperature was in the 70’s and the sky was a brilliant blue.   I’m not sure but I think it was our last trivia day and rather than awe everyone with our brilliance we finished in last place.


At 1 PM right after trivia they had a signature Seabourn event – Caviar by the pool.  On some cruises they do this on a beach day so it’s Caviar in the Surf but instead we’re doing it in the pool.  Staff members put a surfboard in the pool and dish out caviar with the trimmings and it’s passed around with plenty of champagne.  You have to be there to appreciate it, but trust me it’s fun!  I sat at a table with two teammates and we had a marvelous time.  


My fellow trivia players asked me to join them for Music Trivia in the afternoon.  I’ve been avoiding it because I thought it would all be recent music about which I know nothing whatsoever.  Not so.  I went and lo and behold we won.  The prize was the only one I really like – a Seabourn Teddy Bear, not that I need one.  Anyway, in the future I will try playing since it didn’t include a single rap song.


This evening I met my friend Mae at the Piano Bar for a before dinner drink.  The piano player Neal is absolutely fantastic.  I really envy people who can sit and play almost any song with no music and who can seque from one song to the next.  After dinner we decided to go back there and some of our British friends were there too.  One gentlemen is a retired British musical theater entertainer and I think he had a wee bit too much to drink but it was a hoot watching him get into singing duets with Neal.  In fact we had several sing-a-longs.  I went to bed much later than I should have but it was great fun.
