Day 8 September 24, 2025, Wednesday

A day at sea.  It was relaxing. Most everyone slept in a bit this morning.  There were lots of activities and entertainment on the ship schedule.   We did not do a lot but we did a few things.

The highlight of the day was at 10:30 when some of us brave souls ventured into the Royal Escape Room: The Observatorium. (I know, that is not a real word but it is the one that Royal Caribbean put in their app, so, live with.)

We had an hour to solve 4 puzzles.  Go ahead and guess who it was that solve one of them.  Need a clue?  Sorry no clues but just remember that I am writing this blog.  Go ahead, guess.   What did you say?  “Penny?”  Well normally you might be right, but this time it was ME!  We had 6 blocks to put into the wall star map.  They had to be in the right orientation.   We had 4 correct and two we were guessing.   So, I just used my logic and tried the two blocks in all the orientations possible and in a few minutes, there was music and lights.

The 10 people in the room were unable to solve any of the other puzzles.   Fortunately, they let us out (only because the next group wanted to come in).  We had a fun, even if somewhat frustrating, time.

We also played a trivia game.  We did not win that either.

The evening entertainment was a wonderful entertainer that juggled and told jokes. You can see parts of his act here on YouTube.

Enjoy this clip.

It was a very good day.

Hail, hail most of the gang is ready to be entertained.
Pete Matthews was quite entertaining
