Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted December 23, 2022 Author #78 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Last night's entertainment was a violinist. We didn't go and watch. They had a production show the night before. We might watch that on the next cruise. We enjoyed the band and then 2 competition shows in explorers. It was full. Standing room only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchhalm Posted December 23, 2022 #79 Share Posted December 23, 2022 There was some mention of trivia / progressive trivia earlier in this thread. It reminded me of a "lady" nearly getting in a physical fight with the trivia host about what questions should have been asked. Apparently on day X on a certain itinerary specific quiz questions should have bèen asked. The host can't just make up his/her own quiz. ...According to the angry woman, who came armed with as folder of all Q&A for that cruise and a few others.... Some people would do anything for a key chain (or a bottle if house wine) 🙈🙉🙊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since covid everyone marks their own answers. So those people probably cheat. We laugh at our wrong answers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question was what does BMW stand for? Answer given was Bavarian Motor Works. My slightly literal mind choked as that answer was incorrect. It was a ladies v men trivia and the question was asked of the ladies. Safer to keep quiet.😨 Edited December 23, 2022 by lyndarra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that secretly behind the scenes, cruise staff high five each other when they find ambiguous questions to ask, knowing it is going to lead to an argument over a bottle of ship champagne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think they randomly recycle them as I recall a couple of repeat quizzes on Coral Princess but there was no pattern to the repeats. People like that spoil it for the rest of us. We don't really care if we don't win although it is nice to feel like you have a fighting chance. We regard wrong answers as "hey, we learnt something new!". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscuits and gravy for breakfast, well that is a whole other level. My girls loved those containers of biscuits, which just popped out, you put them on a tray and you had scones. They loved the real chocolate biscuits also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decisions Decisions I hope they are doing something more "Christmasy" for Xmas day. Nevertheless, a quite nice menu. A bit random, but something for everyone. * but I can't recall duck breast for Christmas eve (when Christmas is celebrated in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and other Roman Catholic countries), when I grew up in Austria... ....my Christmas spread at home last year.... No leftovers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
