On Board Trivia

[cartervan]

We also are Trivia players from way back--but recently the biggest threat to enjoyment of the game is Google.  We pointed out to the CD on a recent cruise (not HAL, by the way) that some teams had cell phones out and were looking up answers.  His reply was basically--oh well, it's just for fun.  But what's the "fun" in that?!  And speaking of cheating--we were on another cruise where the team sitting at the bar always got everything right (the bar tender was giving them the answers!)  We've also been playing when well-meaning "passers-by" would lean in and give us an answer.  Completely ruins the game!  No wonder they've quit giving out real prizes.
