Today Eddie Dale joined Roger, Amanda and I for the Punchliner Comedy Brunch let me tell you the food was probably the best that we have had. It is a totally different menu than the other breakfasts they serve in the dinning room. The comedy part of it though leaves a lot to be desired but the environment does not lend itself to be good for comedy.
What does sea day mean to my family....game time. Which is why it was not surprise to see Brad and Christine waiting for the first Scattergories Challenge game to start.
After writing down their answers they had to stand up with everyone else to see who won.
And the winner was Brad who proudly had his picture taken with his 24 karat gold plastic ship on a stick.
Then it was on to Win, Lose or Draw which Brad, Christine, Roger and Amanda won. But they gave their trophy to a young boy that had come and sat with them. Super Trivia round 1 started in the Atrium where they were also joined by Cheryl, Josh, Dave & Christi. Amanda then went on to be a judge in the Men's Hairy Chest contest.
We then headed to afternoon tea.
Today the sea's were moving a little more than some would have liked so we lost a few people after tea and did not see them again until dinner.
Although we did find Brad, Christine and Josh playing games in the library.
The Belden's.
We rotated between four different tables for dinner so that we could sit with different people each night.
Eddie Dale was pulled into the dinner show by our assistant waitress and danced for everyone.
After dinner we headed to the show Wonderful World which turned out to be a good show. Then we headed to see the late night comedy and then it was time for bed.

Everyone has safely arrived in Miami by this morning. I must say I had slept much better than I expected to last night. Not so lucky were Bob & Julie. We met up with them downstairs in the common area of the hotel and they told us of their horror story of the night. The had arrived into the Ft. Lauderdale airport at a little after 1:00 am but by the time the shuttle dropped them off at the hotel it was 3:30. The first room that they were taken to had the door standing open and the room was a mess so they were given a different room on the 4th floor that had NO air-conditioning. They were not happy campers. Well we had signed up for the 10:45 shuttle to the port so we all headed back up to get our stuff together. Amanda & Heather were running a little behind and when it came down to it I thought they were going to miss the shuttle but they made it just in the nick of time.
At least they got on with all of their luggage unllike me. When we arrived at the port and got the luggage off the bus I found that my suitcase had not been loaded so I had to get back on the shuttle and go back to the hotel. I grabbed my suitcase and got back on the shuttle with another group of people which were all dropped off before I was. Well I met back up with Roger, Elaine, Fred, Amanda & Heather and we headed in to the cruise terminal. We went through security and then headed to the VIP lounge where we saw Brad & Christine. They were just getting their sail & sign cards and heading out. I don't know what was going on in the VIP lounge but things were not working correctly with the pictures and the cards so it took way longer than the regular check in. We met up with everyone on Lido, where we got our first taste of the Guy Burgers, which were yummy.
We thought we were going to find our hotel in Miami rather quickly we had lucked out and had not hit stopped traffic but as we pulled up to the place the gps took us to it was not our hotel. We finally figured out that I had not put in the right NE 1st Street I had put in NE 1st Ave. instead. So we turned and headed closer to the ocean and then Roger parked and Amanda and I walked over and found the hotel and then directed him to come and drop the luggage off before he went and dropped the car off at Budget which was just a couple of blocks over.
