Cruise Day - 31st October.. Halloween!!

Nice sleep in today with scattered cloud and 78 degree temps on the balcony. Kelly is struggling with her cold but is slowly on the mend. Not the best time to catch colds for either of us!!

Kelly grabbed coffee’s and we checked out the events for the day on the cruise compass (this is the daily sheet that shows all the events for the day.) With highlighter in hand, we selected the various things that interested us. Lots of Halloween related events today along with the usual decor!

Even the car was done up!

The usual suspects!

Kelly went to a beading class while I went and played morning trivia. We then met up and went to the
Halloween scavenger hunt in Boleros Bar at 11am. We teamed up with Cathy & Bryan and with only 20 minutes of time, we bolted around the ship to complete the hunt. The team was required to take pictures of various items around the ship with the team in the picture. We also had to bring back a collection of objects like fake blood (ketchup pouch) etc.

We did pretty good but missed a few items and with time marching on, we returned to the start point.
Well we didn't win but had fun trying.

Team Vancouver Islanders at the Abyss.

Next up was lunch in the Windjammer and then off to the Blackjack Tournament in the casino. Most fun you can have for the least amount of money! LOL We did not make the final table but stuck around and watched the end. We then popped over to the Art action for a few minutes to see the action. Some very nice artwork was finding new homes.

The sun was blazing so we grabbed a cocktail and headed back to our room to enjoy the balcony. We  watch the ocean pass buy as we enjoyed the quietness... although you could faintly hear the steel band playing on the upper deck :-) 

Next up was our 5pm Trivia game and we met up with the usual crew to play. Once again we did not win but had fun chatting and catching up on each others day.  Cathy and Bryan had bought some more art at the auction and they had Wonderland booked for dinner. We told them to order "The World" for desert of course:-)

We then said goodbye as our dinning time was fast approaching. Off to the Silk Dinning Room and had a nice meal. For the first time that I can recall they ran out of our dinner choice but easily found
a replacement:-)

 We had nothing on the calendar for the evening but took in the huge Halloween party on the promenade. Lots of great costumes and fun!

Huge crowd for the Halloween Party

Clocks go back another hour tonight so we will be 5 hours ahead of Vancouver in the morn.
