A special contest

UPDATE: Thank you for participating. After wading through hundreds of entries (j/k), Beth had the most correct answers. Congratulations, Beth! The answers have been added below.


Where did our previous posts go? Becky and I decided to test your knowledge. How closely have you been following our journey? Below are a few questions about the cruise and our ports. The answers will come from our previous posts, but we temporarily "hid" them to prevent you from cheating. The person who can answer the most questions correctly will win this special Carnival prize pack. Some "Legend Loot", if you will.





The prizes include a tall water bottle caddy, a lovely turquoise string backpack, a Carnival fin tail fun cup, a deck of cards that was used in the casino this week, a Carnival Legend magnet and your very own plush towel animal. Worth playing for?

You have until Tuesday at 5pm EST. In the event of a tie, we have a tie-breaker question.


Put your thinking caps on. Pencils ready?


1) What was the name of our dolphin from the Dolphin Experience? Galileo

2) How overweight was my luggage when we left Cincinnati? 7 lbs (FYI, I bought another suitcase to get all of my loot home.)

3) How much did Becky win playing BINGO? $20

4) We met a crew member from Greensboro, NC. What was his/her position on the ship? Jenna was the fitness (Zumba) instructor

5) There are 132 types of agave. Name two of them. We mentioned sisal, pineapple, aloe vera, and the blue agave.

6) We saw rooster in the one of the museums we visited. What was the rooster made of? Chili Peppers

7) What is the national bird of Honduras? The Macaw

8) Our tour guide in Roatan had the nickname of D.L. What does D.L. stand for? Dark and Lovely

9) What was the first industry in Belize? Logging

10) Name the ports we visited. Which ones required a tender? Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize, and Roatan. Grand Cayman and Belize required a tender.

Tie breaker question - List how many towel animals we had in our cabin this week and what kind of animals they were. We had eight towel animals in our cabin. This was a trick question because we didn't get one on Wednesday (Cozumel), but we got three the next day (Belize).
They were a dinosaur, dog, gorilla (or sloth), turtle, turkey, elephant, unknown but looks like an eskimo, and a frog.

  1. I feel like a complete idiot. I remember 6 lbs. over limit. At the time I remember the rooster and looking at it closely to see what it was make of. I remember about the industry of Belize but I am completely blank. I loved every entry in the blog and especially the pictures but my mind is blank. I'll be interested to re-read everything. -- Mom
