We slept in later than usual, getting down to “crafts” at 8:30 am. This is a freebie gift of some little craft package that some people actually do as a way to pass time on sea days. But more people stow them away to give to their grandchildren when they get home. I got a package and give it to Maureen, for her grandchildren.
Then we stopped at the casino before breakfast. And I hit a bonus, winning $180. I finished the day up $150 (down $150 for the cruise – I cut my loses in half).
After breakfast we played cards until noon, then Marlene and I took ownership of a Serenity Deck cabana and jumped (literally, for Marlene, earning her a harsh reprimand from the pool attendant) into the pool. After splashing about and socializing for a bit we retired to the cabana and spent a leisurely hour sunbathing and enjoying the beautiful day.
After dinner (pretty ordinary this time) we attended a show by a juggler/comedian (nothing special). We danced for a bit after that, then, at 10:30 pm, attended Quest, the traditional (on Carnival cruises) adult scavenger hunt event. Always fun. I can’t be specific about what went on there, but a good time was had by all. A very good end to a very good day.
I will add that on this day we also viewed, for the first time, the elaborate towel-art display that has been the talk of the ship. It is common, on board a cruise ship, for a cabin attendant to leave a towel-art animal after cleaning the room. But one attendant on the Luminosa has been leaving elaborate towel-art scenes, first in the 6th floor hallway and then, when it attracted too much attention, in the 6th floor elevator lobby. Every day he constructs a different scene, usually with a smooth transition from one day to the next. For example, one day he had a turtle laying eggs and the next day had many small turtles emerging from the eggs. Very creative.
