We had a few sea days on our cruise in between all the port stops. One reason why I love cruising so much is that I love to meet new people. And on cruises, you get to travel with all these people and enjoy new experiences with them that bond you in a special way. Love it!
On every sea day, we enjoyed participating in 'The Olympics'. There were three events each day and they varied from basketball shooting, beanbag toss, putting, ring toss and so forth. It was a lot of fun and got to meet some great people. And I won second overall in the women's category!
John and Sharron are some friends I met who are from nearby, so I am excited to go visit them and see them again! They were my Olympics buddies and those I could chat about the Canucks with during the beginnings of the playoffs. And some great conversations as well of course.
Will and Charlie were honeymooners from Australia. We hung out a lot and I did in fact teach them how to play Yahtzee. Because everyone should probably know how to play yahtzee in their lifetime...
I got to be the judge in the ship-building competition. So fun to see everyone's creativity!
Tuddy, Leanne, Garth and Joanne were all from Australia and they were my fan club for karaoke as well as great people to hang out with in the evenings.
Greg was the DJ on the ship and I actually met him a year and a half ago on my cruise to South America and Antarctica and so it was really fun to see him again and hang out a bit during the different events.
Paul and Vicki were members of my fabulous trivia team 'All In'. Everyone hated us by the end because we usually won. Sometimes they'd boo when we'd come in. But we figured we were just giving them some good competition. I'm not so great at trivia, but I love getting to know people on my team. Once again, a unique way to get to know others.
Some of the other things we did whilst aboard the ship included: cooking classes, playing bingo, the Olympics, dancing, trivia, eating, playing yahtzee, game shows, karaoke, reading, walking on the deck and much more. So great!
Next stop is Japan!

Such a variety of interesting activities on a ship makes the cruise as much of a highlight as the port stops. Sounds like you took every opportunity and enjoyed everything (as you seem to do with all of life : )
