Carnival Venezia Sea Day 3

When we sail, we keep a running list of all the activities, events and food we want to make sure to try. Yesterday was a day to check off the boxes for food. 

Started with Sea Day Brunch. I don't know of any other cruise lines that offer this without an extra fee. The menu has changed over the years, but there are always good things. Although I do miss the Superfoods Salad that came with grilled salmon. The most recent addition is some items from Executive Fleet Chef Emeril Lagassee. I went with a yogurt parfait and dried chicken with maple bourbon syrup. Angie had the Voyage Burger.   

After brunch we went to Geography trivia. We did better than expected with 14 out of 20. The bonus question was to name countries that begin with "D". There are five of them. Do you know them all? Answer below.  

Then we played Actor's Trash Trivia. This is where they list three items you might find in an actors trash can and you guess the actor. For example, if there was a samurai sword, a green jumpsuit and a dance trophy, who's trash might you be seeing? Or a volleyball, a plastic toy cowboy and a box of chocolates? Answers below. We got all 20 questions correct and were the winners!! It did help that we've had similar (or possibly the exact same) trivia before on Carnival.  


After our big win, we headed to see Quora perform their Queen set in the atrium. Followed by the pasta bar in the Marco Polo dining room. We had the Bolognese and the Pappardelle. Both pretty tasty although hard to match the pasta we had at Il Viaggio the first night. And continuing to check off the boxes, later that afternoon we went to Tea Time!!  

Last night was another formal night and the dining room had lobster. 
 It was pretty tasty. I also had spaghetti carbonara. Angie went with eggplant parmesan. It was no match for the eggplant Rolatini from the previous night. We then tried to go to the Vintage Pop show. About ten minutes after we sat down, there was an announcement to evacuate the theater. So we evacuated and sat down at a bar with many others in the same situation There weren't any further announcements so we didn't knowif the show was cancelled. I found out later that the fog effects in the theater set off some alarm, but that the show did go on. Sad we didn't get to see it.  

We ended the night at Frizzante talking to Darius and Ivana along with new friends Rachel, Travis and Ross. End up being a fun night.  

Today so our last sea day. We'll dock in Manhattan tomorrow morning. Not much left on our list. Probably will get a Guy's Burger. And they are playing the Super Mario Brothers movie on the outdoor deck at 5:30.
