bullet Casino: Steve won 2nd in the blackjack tournament. The team of Matthew, Dorothy and Melayne won the Music Trivia contest (I won't brag, but someone on our team was "outstanding"). Steve won 3rd in "The Ryder Cup" putting tournament. Stacy and Terry won 3rd in the Shuffleboard Teams contest. Stacy got commendation for being "the best" in her aerobics class.
   
bullet Fitness at Seas program: most of us earned a t-shirt by completing 12 fitness tasks. However, Matthew was a big cheat and corrputed everyone aboard! For his second task, he left his "punch card" with Melayne and took a 15-minute nap, then returned to "collect" his event credit (Shuffleboard). For the Stair Climb Matthew, Melayne and Dorothy were to go up and down the stairs from the 12th deck to the 4th deck three times (8 stories...basically, 3 times!). We walked from 12 to 4...then got on the elevator to 9, got off and walked up to 11. After a couple of these "1/2-way attempts", we claimed our credits. We all enjoyed the daily 1-mile walks around the Promenade Deck! No cheating there, yet...but, Matt already has plans!!! UPDATE: Matt walked two miles (instead of one) on the next morning to make up for his big cheat! Dorothy, Melayne and Matthew have all qualified for the free t-shirt!!! So, no more fitness!
