The ship cancelled our stop in Kodiak today due to weather! The crew and officers put on a Country Fair style games hour this morning - something different to pass the time during a sea day. It was truly inspirational to see what they came up with for games, with each department creating something unique. The housekeeping department held a pillowcase contest - this was the noisiest group as passengers competed husbands against wives or against their cabin stewards! The boutique offered a version of a shell game (no picture) and the bar crew offered 4 different ways to win. Get the ring around the wine bottle, get the ring around a Corona bottle, get the cork in the bucket, and identify the smell from the wine tasting smell kit!
One of the most challenging games came from the spa department - you had to paint one of the staffs fingernails blindfolded. In the casiner you had to beat the house - high or low, your choice each with two cards. Destinations team had a name that flag event, the chefs had a name that spice booth, for the deck crew you had to tie a knot - could be any knot on their board, the dining room you had to catch an aluminum foil ball tossed by one of the stewards. One of the coolest and easily replicated at home was the human slot machine from the entertainment crew. One crew member played the arm, the passenger pushed down his arm to "start" the machine. Three others were seated each with a bag containing various items, they all wiggles in their chairs and then each pulled out an item and held it high - if they all the items were the same you won! Lots of fun - everyone got tickets for participating, more if you won and there were lots of draws at the end.
