A Floating Party.....all day!

A typical superbowl Sunday might find you doing your normal routine throughout the day till about 6pm EST/3pm PST. That might include church, chores or shopping, unless you're hosting a party. On the ship, we're halfway between NZ and Australia so its Monday and superbowl pregame activities started at 10:30am with an 11:30 am kickoff . In case you were wondering, there was no church, chores or shopping. But I did have some work and I found myself up at 5am working, thanks to another time change. But finished up at 10, so I'd be in place for the game. The party started early. Bars on the ship open at 10am sharp. Bloody Mary's, screwdrivers and mimosas are normally the popular drinks before noon, but not today. Nope. There were several drink specials that were team themed, with green eagles and red chiefs. Beer is always popular. Chaises were lined up on the lido deck, blankets were handed out as it was "only" about 65 degrees at kickoff, drinks were in hand and the pre game started. Here there was a corn hole tournament, face painting, and beer pong. I should have a muse about 70 somethings playing cornhole and beer pong but nothing I put into words will be funnier than what you're already imagining. But in case you need a pic, that's my friend Jimmy on the right. As I said, no words necessary.

About 11:30, kickoff coincided with the buffet opening. Tough choice. Buffet won ;-) Standard bar fare was appreciated, wings, nachos, guacamole, fries, burgers, chicken tenders pizza. The Eagles scored on their first possession and I didn't miss it. I enjoyed most of the game from a chaise and Q4 from the hot tub.

Afterwards about 3:30 ship time, I worked out for an hour before relaxing with the wife and getting ready for our special valentines dinner a day early. We booked dinner at the Bayou. The pics will look oddly similar to 3 weeks ago as we ordered the exact same items. Another amazing meal of a porterhouse, a filet, delicious appetizers and dessert. Here are some pics. That porterhouse pic is meat porn. Sorry for the imagery....not.

Afterwards we went to the show. First one I fell asleep in the first 5 minutes. I snored! Wife hit me 2x during the performance. Unlike many of my theater naps, this was a legit review of the act. Sorry. No names. Just not my cup of tea. Then we went to Crooners, the rat pack themed bar for a nightcap and some guitar music. Then it was bedtime....or was it? 2 nights in a row, we gained an hour. It was 9pm 2 days ago, but was now 7pm, at least that's what our bodies said. Needless to say, I was up early the next morning.
