Not a very eventful day today, except for the "Packer Service" this morning. There was no Mass onboard, so Travalon and I went to this service, which was very evangelical with people singing songs we had never heard of. LeRoy Butler did talk about his faith journey, which was interesting, but I could have done without the rest of it. I have a feeling Travalon may never complain about going to Mass again! Afterwards he went to soak in one of the on-deck hot tubs while I competed in sudoku and trivia tournaments with strangers; we came in second, but there is no prize for second place on this ship. I also prayed a rosary in the ship's chapel, which is very nice and would have been a wonderful spot for a Mass. (Hint, hint, Royal Caribbean.) So far there have been two weddings there, but the service we went to was in an auditorium. After lunch we sat on our balcony as I played the ukulele, then we played miniature golf and ping pong, swam, and soaked in the hot tub. Tonight there was a Q&A with current Packers, which was very interesting, but we had to leave partway through to get to dinner, which was formal tonight. We ended with a drink at the highest level bar; I asked for the driest red wine they had, and they gave me something Spanish that was wonderful.
Just a few pictures from today. First is the artwork right across from our door, which seems appropriate because there appears to be a bright yellow ukulele.
Here are Brett Hundley and Blake Martinez waiting for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to show up so they can start the Q&A session.
Finally, a shot of the deck from the bar we were at this evening. I think this is the kiddie pool, since it is shallow and brightly colored, but honestly I see very few people of any age in this one. They tend to hang out in the other two, or in the case of the obnoxious drunken college students on spring break, in all the hot tubs. It is very hard to find one not infested with them, taking selfies and throwing limes from their adult drinks at each other.
