Today was Valentine’s Day and also a Formal Night.

VALENTINE’S DAY SERENADE

A group of guests formed a Barber Shop-style singing group and offered to serenade your loved one outside their cabin in exchange for a minimum $5 donation to the crew fund.

We signed up for 1:30 pm and enjoyed their two songs outside our room.

Here is a short video

THE GAME OF LOVE

Kimberly hosted The Game of Love on the World Stage at 2 pm.  This was a Newlywed Game-style game show featuring some of the couples amongst the crew on the Zuiderdam.

Here were the four couples:
Executive Chef Neil and Senior 3rd Engineer Officer Maroussia
Hotel GM Henk and Christel
Capt Frank and Alexandra
Beverage Manager Edmund & Dining Room Host Josephine

Here is a list of the questions:

– Where did you meet & when?
– What is your other half wearing?
3 of the guys revealed her underwear color
– Rate your first kiss from 1 to 10
– Ladies, when a gust of wind blows the towel off, which do you see Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or the Lost City of Atlantis?
– Who said I Love You first?
– What is the first thing your guy touches in the morning?
– How would you describe your time between the sheets — fast & furious, slow & steady, broken down?
– Which of your guy’s friends do you wish would become a distant memory?
– Who would you say is your gal’s most annoying family member?
– If your guy was an animal, which animal would he be?
– Describe your marriage — the Notebook, Nightmare on Elm Street or Dumb & Dumber
– What would be her crime if your gal were to be arrested?
– If you had to describe your husband from the seven dwarfs, which one would he be — bonus to name all 7 dwarfs
– What is your gal’s signature dance move?
– What is your husband’s favorite condiment?
-What is the greatest accomplishment as a couple?

This video has a few highlights from the show.
