On A Boat-Day 5: Nassau Hex

We have arrived in Nassau, Bahamas and was joined by 2 other cruise ships: The Sky fron Norwegan Cruise Lines and The Monarch from Royal Caribbean. Not a whole lot was planned for the day so we will make it a beach day. First stop was Hard Rock (of course) and picked up my shot glass.

Aftewards we took a 20 minute trek to find a beach to chill at. The water was cold upon entry, but was nice once you're completely in. The weather was great and the sun was blasting. Hours later we did a little shopping and headed back to the ship.

After a short nap, we headed to dinner then a movie on the main deck. The film was Jonah Hex, starring Josh Brolin and Megan Fox. Some of you may not have heard of it because when it released in July '10 it only stayed in theaters for just under a month. In my opinion it was pretty good for a comic book movie (DC Comics). I do recommend checking it out whenever.

Well off to bed. Tomorrow we dock at Freeport, Bahamas.

On A Boat-Day 4: Ruthless Play

Day 2 of the cruise. Just about the same activity as yesterday except things turned for the good. Starting with Jen doing much better. Still fatigued, but better.

I participated in Day 2 of the Super Duper Trivia, where I was still team captain. I don't how it happend, but we killed on this game. We answered question after question so well. We even picked up points when they missed questions. The physical challenge was to blow a long balloon and tie it shut. I was tricked in doing this challenged because the host asked for strong players. She meant players with strong lungs. I could not blow my balloon at all so my opponent won, but he didn't blow it up completely so instead of 50 pts, she only awarded 30. My friend called me a ruthless player because I was strategic with the card play: Double points 3x, made the other team miss a turn and after they got their last question right and tripling their points, I played a steal points card. I called it being strategic, but she says I was ruthless.

Later that day I returned to Name That Tune and Bean Bag Competition. I finished in 3rd in name that tune (41 out of 60 points). Then there was Bean Bag competition. My usual partner did not show so I teamed up with one of the folks from my trivia team. We finished 2nd.

The rest of the day was pretty much chill. Taking care of my baby and watched 300 & Dragonball + in spanish (that's right in spanish) until I went to sleep.

Next day, Port to call at Nassau, Bahamas.

On A Boat-Day 3: Quarter Drop

First full day on the ship at sea. No ports so it's a fun day at sea. Jen chilled for most of the day and i was in and out of the cabin checking on her, doing events and eating.

One of the events I was in was called Super Duper Trivia. This is a multiple day event and the first day started off strong. Along with the questions you answer, there are physical challenges. Today's challenge was to take a quarter, put it between your butt cheeks, walk across the floor and drop it in a small cup. Oh my lord that is one big challenge (see video). I also participated in a name that tune and bean bag competition.

It was elegant night for dinner, which as you know means that we dress up. After that we checked out 2 comedians, Carl Fauleneberry and Dean Gaines. Carl, we saw on our first cruise as well. He's very hilarious then and now. He reused some of the same material, but was still very funny. Dean was new to us. He is a regular in Las Vegas. He was pretty funny, but was a bit over the top. He has a huge fascination with male genitalia, makes me wonder.

It was a pretty eventful day and we have another fun day at sea before arriving at Nassau, Bahamas.
