Day 8, Part 2
Back on the ship, we went straight to the ice cream machine, which totally became our little tradition
Here's the types of ice cream served this cruise...
Basically, chocolate, vanilla, choc/van swirl and banana or banana/choc swirl.
Back to the room so I could cool off and Kira could change into her swimsuit.
Rob took Kira to the pool and I went and got this:
It was delicious and I watched the rest of The Founder while eating it
Rob and Kira ate at Flo's. Rob asked if they had any Hawaiian pizza but they didn't. They noticed that he was wearing his Canada shirt and they said they would make one just for him since it was Canada Day
I think he assumed that they would make a Hawaiian pizza and then give him a slice or two but nope, they gave him the whole pizza!
He was very appreciative and ate as much of it as he could
They had this special today...
And Rob ended up getting it as well.
With some food and pool time in her, Kira was in a good mood
And not too much later, I joined them for a bit. I snuck up on them
I just had to try the poutine
Oh Good Lord, that was the most disgusting poutine I have ever had
They used some type of red wine based sauce instead of brown gravy and I almost spit it out, it was horrid! I sure hope non-Canadians didn't eat that crud and think it was real Canadian poutine
I looked out the starboard side and saw the cutest little divi-divi tree all by itself!
And the most beautiful scenery too
And now, port side...
Back to the room where we all had showers and got into our matching Canadian garb
A nice lady offered to take a family pic...
We headed down to play Canadian Trivia.
Hosted by Dino...an Irishman
This made it a little challenging because some of the questions were very vague and when some groups had questions about them, he had no idea because he said he knew nothing about Canada
The questions were RIDICULOUSLY hard mostly but then they would throw in a really easy one! It was like what are the ingredients of poutine or how many polar bears are in Canada? I don't know who chose these questions but they were not Canadian, that's for sure!
There were about 8 groups playing and everyone felt the same way as us.
Embarrassingly, we only got 14.5 out of 25 but like I said, they were crazy questions and we actually WON!!
The next highest score was 14, so we won by half a point LOL! The half was because one of the questions was very vague "Who was Winnie the Pooh based on?" and he said he would give half a point each for three different answers....Bear in the Winnipeg Zoo by A.A. Milne.
So, he said one half point for Bear, Winnipeg Zoo by A.A. Milne, which is actually wrong because the bear was Canadian but he was in the London Zoo when Milne visited him and the bear's owner named him Winnie because he once lived in Winnipeg, not Milne.
See what I mean about the questions?
So, I wrote bear in zoo, A. A. Milne and the people that checked our answers gave us 1.5 points, so that half point won us the game
Whatever! We are the big wieners!!
Hee hee!
After we were done, I went to the bathroom around the corner, the really cool ones just outside of The Tube. I had visited this particular bathroom a few times but this time was when I noticed that the ceilings were mirrored
I personally don't think mirrors belong in bathroom stalls
Such a neat bathroom though!
After trivia we went to the WDT to watch Cars 3.
And Rob took a theatre family selfie
The movie was awesome, we loved it! It was really neat to see it after I watched that behind the scenes presentation the other day, made me appreciate it even more!
Rob and I then decided to check out the family act in the Tube. We tried to get Kira to join us but she refused and I think she went to play Mid Ship Detective Agency on her own.
The show was seriously high on the cheese factor and we snuck out early.
Back to the room to find this...
We had a great stateroom host this cruise. We ended up having an abnormal schedule more often than we thought we would but he did such a great job working around our schedule and getting everything done. He was always very friendly and very good with all of our requests. We didn't have many...Kira wanted to keep her bed as a bed and not have it as a couch at all, I asked for ice when he made up our room and the last request came a few days into our cruise when I realized that he would turn the shower head towards the wall whenever he cleaned it and it turned into a gong show episode every time I tried to turn it back. I got water everywhere, sprayed my face, my clothes, it would have been funny to watch but it got old real fast so I eventually asked him to not turn the shower head
