Woke up today around 8:30am.
Coffee and our last game of Progressive trivia and we WON!! we all got trophies, insulated coffee mugs (since I had already won one I gave mine to one of my team mates and our team had 8 rotating members but there was only prizes for 6), a light up disco ring, and a bottle of champagne!! We all went down to Boleros Bar and exchanged our warm bottle for a cold bottle and the bartender made us Mimosas and we toasted our win!

Time change again today. 11:30am became 12:30pm and now we are 5 hours ahead of home. I do like changing time much better at noon than 2am because you don't lose any sleep. I think this is why the ship does it - so most of the crew still gets a full night sleep.
Then it was time for the Battle of the Sexes final trivia game and the women WON!! We all got gold medals and a light up disco ring - now I have one for each hand!
Had my first hot dog from the new Doghouse by the pool. I had a chicken hot dog with a cheese bun but the bun was so big and not very good that I just ate the dog without the bun.
Changed into my bathing suit and went out to lay in the sun and watch Grease on the big screen. Ran into my trivia partners from NS Bruce and Cathy and sat with them. Boy was it windy. We sat there for about half an hour but then the wind chased us away. I then sat at the pool bar and had a beer. It was really nice when there wasn't any wind.
Time for afternoon trivia which was name the flags and it was really hard. I found out from Jo (one of the people doing the back to back cruise too) that they had received an invitation to meet at 4:30pm but I had not so I headed to guest services to find out why. Turns out my 2 reservations had not been linked...
Went to the info session and found out what we are to do on turnover day. Not sure what I am going to do. Some people are staying on and some are getting off to do laundry but not sure if doing laundry is how I want to spend my birthday. I may just have the ship do laundry for me.
After the meeting I rushed back to my cabin just in time to see the second parade of the sailing. I liked the pirate parade more.
Buffet for dinner and I was really hungry because all I had to eat was an oatmeal cookie for breakfast and the hot dog with no bun. I sat with a nice couple from Ohio at the buffet. For dinner I had salad, a cheese quesadilla, a long skinny bread stick and cheese. Dessert was a small piece of sugar-free pineapple upside cake and fruit salad. I do like the sugar-free desserts!
Evening song trivia -80's music. Our trivia group had grown a bit so we made 2 teams - men vs women and the women won! We didn't win the game but we beat the men :)
2 couples from trivia -Jo & Ian and Bruce & Cathy came back to my cabin for a tour. Then we went down to Promenade for a walk.
Early to bed - Palma de Mallorca, Spain tomorrow!!
