If you know me, you will know that one of my favorite things to do is to play trivia. This is not because I am a trivia wizard by any means, and my losses far outnumber my wins, but I love to play and so it’s only natural for me to be drawn to the frequent trivia offerings on a Disney cruise. It’s more a feeling of having fun, mixing with other passengers, and getting to know the cruise staff, to say nothing of establishing a relationship with a server. If your server is paying attention and you drink the same thing, they will have one waiting for you when you walk in the door after just a quick nod.
It’s a fun activity that we enjoy with our teenagers and young adults as well as friends, both those we are traveling with or the new friends we make in the lounge. Traveling solo? I bet there is a team that will let you join them, it’s a great way to make friends. I made a new friend that we nicknamed as Jim “Ringer” after he started helping us out with answers one day on a 2 week transatlantic cruise, so we of course pulled him into our team and he became a regular. I am still friends and in touch with him 4 years later. My team on that cruise was actually made up of my dinner table mates, 2 of whom I was traveling with, the other’s we just met on the cruise.
Trivia can range from music trivia from the 70,s, 80,s 90’s eras, movie trivia, tv show theme song trivia, Cruisin’ for trivia with Disney Cruise Line knowledge, sports trivia, Disney trivia to the ultimate know it all trivia. Trivia is usually held in one or two of the lounges, such as Promenade Lounge or Diversions on the Wonder, O’Gills or The Promenade Lounge on the Magic, The District Lounge or 687 Pub on the Dream, and O’Gills or La Piazza on the Fantasy.
Make sure and check your daily Navigator to see when the trivia offerings are available. Quite often in the early evenings the lounges will offer appetizers as well.
