It was a quiet day on board. We browsed art after breakfast, then played
Bingo before lunch. This ship uses electronic bingo cards. You can
either buy 6 cards for $32 or get the device with 30 cards on it plus a
bonus 3-card paper set for $55. Most people see the device is the better
deal. It receives a signal from the main board and marks your numbers
on every card automatically, while you keep busy punching and folding
the numbers on only 3 cards. While the game is going it shows the best
cards, tells you how many cards are closest to winning, and how many
numbers you need to win. If you are 1 number away from Bingo, the
device gives an audible signal and if one of your electronic cards wins
it flashes WINNER. It's the lazy person's Bingo, and still fun. I was 1
number away twice, but didn't win.
After pizza for lunch we went to the afternoon art auction. Again, this
was fun and informative. We always learn something at these auctions.
Tonight was the 2nd formal night. We relaxed on our balcony after the
auction, then got into our formal attire for dinner. I was surprised
that our dinner companions did not dress up, since they sounded like
they were looking forward to formal night when we talked to them
yesterday. I was also surprised at how few men wore a tux. Ray always
does and I always bring a formal dress. On other cruises at least a
quarter of the men wore tuxedos, but they were few and far between on
this cruise.
