Day Four - At Sea

On the first day the kids joined a 'scavenger hunt' that took them all over the ship collecting stamps from various kiosks. Then last night their stamped tickets were entered into a prize draw. With 3000 passengers on board you would think that the chances of winning would be remote-ish... from three entries the kids won four prizes, 3000 guests, 12 prizes on offer, 11 entries. Cam scored some free Internet time, Abs a $50 gift voucher for the boutiques and Jazz $20 to play in the bingo final. Cam also scored the fourth, and final prize, of dinner and wine for two in one of the specialty restaurants (the ones that have an extra cover charge per person), so he is currently our favorite child [grin].

Last night the kids hit their clubs and Jazz is the first to hook up with a group of girls and be off with them until after midnight. Today is one of only two sea-days (we're not in port) so it's an opportunity to stay out a little later and then sleep in. Once we port in Athens tomorrow it's four ports in four days with early starts so we can make our tours.

Lack of uploaded photos is 'cos my laptop has died and I only just got an adapter for the power supply... the ship has American style points and I bought my Euro plug. Anyway the battery is filling now so I should have some shots uploaded later today.

Tonight is the first of two formal nights so we'll be dressed to the nines at dinner, you may not recognize us in the photos. For now it's a beautiful day, the Adriatic is like a pool table, I'm by the pool with Jazz, who is reading her book and drinking a virgin strawberry daiquiri... I think I'm missing something... Ah! Margarita please!

Andy, out.
