Day 4: May 3, 2015 - A Day at Sea and Deal or No Deal!

So... we were a little sleepy and may have slept in until around 11:00 that morning. I was completely okay with it. I did, however, miss breakfast which was a bummer - the boat had some super yummy waffles that we discovered later in the week.

The boat was traveling from Venice to our first stop in Greece - the island of Corfu, so we spent the day at sea. I took advantage of this day and wore my cruise leisure outfit which consisted of some wide leisure pants (if you don't know what those are, you make me sad inside) and a soft sweater that had holes in it, so it was the perfect temperature. I loved every minute I spent in this outfit.

We had a relaxing day on deck, reading and eating at our convenience. We decided to go to the game show Deal or No Deal in the Stardust Theatre. Jess and I love this game so we each bought a card to play along. Archie, the cruise director, hosted the game. We played two games. They called the contestants up by the number on the card you bought. The first contestant was called up and we played along with her. She won like $30. During the game, there was someone in the audience that kept barking like a dog and it was really strange... it kept freaking Archie out. He called out the second card number and it was my card! Jess had paid for the game with her cruise card though so they called her name. I let her go up and she was SO excited. It was hilarious!

She picked Briefcase #12. Before the game, Cory was all about the strategy and how you need to take the deal because chances are, you won't win anything big. But as soon as Jess got up, he kept screaming "No deal! No deal!" and was so nervous and excited while Jess was up there haha Jess did really well! It ended up being between her briefcase and Briefcase #17 and there was only $500 and $125 left. Archie asked if she wanted to switch to #17 but she stuck with #12. She ended up winning $125 which bought us all pina coladas haha it was so fun and hilarious watching her up there. She did a great job and loved every second of it. That is definitely something we will never forget haha with her winnings, Jess decided to try some more of her luck in the casino but we didn't win anything.

Cory and Dad went to the Japanese restaurant for dinner so the girls went to the French restaurant, Le Bistro, because the dessert sounded really good. It was a little awkward because you were supposed to dress nice and I was still in my leisure outfit... Oh well. All of us ordered this chicken with mashed potatoes. The chicken was really froo-froo and not very good haha but watching Al try to choke it down was hilarious! The potatoes were yummy though. We each got these amazing desserts - it was like chocolate molten cake from Chilis but with gelato. I got Stracciatella. YUM!

After we finished dinner, we went up on deck to watch the sun set. We noticed one of the four hot tubs were free and we figured it would be cleaner to get in at the beginning of the cruise rather than at the end... so we hot tubbed for a while.

There was an acrobatic show in the Stardust Theatre at 7:30 that we decided to go to. It was this couple from Warsaw that have been together doing acrobatics for 10 years. They did some acts together, some apart. It was insane! It was really cool. They even brought their little daughter out on stage and she was really cute. It was a fun, cool show. Overall, it was a nice, relaxing day at sea!
