Good morning fellow cruisers. Q was quite a challenge and, after much memory questioning, all I could come up with was our love of the quizzes on board. We have been doing them for many years and always enjoy being part of a team. I hope you don't mind me sharing the name of one team. It was a mixed team with us from the UK and 3 other members from the US. One member suggested that we be called US/UK which when the slash is removed become USUK (say it phonetically ... U SUK....hahaha). The quiz master refused to call us that especially when a Canadian lady joined us occasionally and we became CAN/US/UK or, rather rudely CANUSUK!

We won the progressive trivia on Splendour of the Seas

Great story and well done for winning lots of prizes.

Splendour of the seas was a favourite of ours probably because we sailed on her 3 times out of Venice.

Hi Graham, we also loved Splendour and that class of ship. We found it to be a perfect size and particularly liked the solarium so that is why we enjoyed Marella's Discovery 2 (ex Legend) and are looking forward to trying Fred Olsen's new ships which are a similar size and design. Oh to start cruising again....

We like the team quizzes, particularly when the prize is a bottle of wine!

Splendour is now Marella Discovery.

We saw her at Newcastle in 2018 in her Marella colours.

Legend ( Discovery 2) was the only Vision class ship we never sailed on.
