Our daily Good Times said that here was going to be 'grand opening' of the Pandora store, I think they must have a grand opening on every cruise as I'm sure it's been on the Dawn for awhile now, anyway there was a free raffle so why wouldn't we go there. The Atrium was busy so we had to keep an eagle eye out for a seat, miss 18 was on the ball and snagged one after we'd got our raffle tickets. Well you wouldn't believe, we certainly didn't, we won the raffle!! Weehee - a ship charm, limited edition as you can only get them on the P&O cruise ships! Unfortunately miss 18 already had this charm as I had bought it for her a couple of years ago when I was on the Jewel for their 'grand opening' of Pandora. That's ok though as miss 18 has a few friends with Pandora bracelets so guess what they're getting for their birthday!
We dropped our prize back at the cabin, handy as it's just up from the Atrium, and then headed back for TRIVIA! We didn't win, so surprising.

This was a different sort of trivia as after each question you had to hand in your answer, unfortunately we were up a level so had to throw our answers over the edge, many didn't make it. We weren't the only ones who had to fling their answers over the edge, hard to win when every second answer ends up under the table, stuck on a ledge - not that it would have mattered really I think every second answer we had was wrong! Fun anyway.
Next up we thought we'd give Bingo a go, seeing as we'd won the raffle we thought for sure we'd win something at bingo. We were wrong, no prizes for us but one of the girls just in front did win a game which was around $200, not bad at all. Matthew the assistant cruise director was doing the Bingo calling, he's hilarious! Almost worth the $30 to play bingo ;-)

We decided to try the Waterfront restaurant for lunch today, the menu is a lot bigger than the dinner menu. Lots to choose from. I went with Mexican, yum. Can't remember what miss 18 had but she enjoyed it.
It was Gatsby/Cocktail night tonight so after a bit of relaxing on the Lido we headed back to our cabin to get all zshoozed up and then up to the Promenade for a cocktail. I opted for a glass of wine and miss 18 had a yummy chocolate based cocktail although she found it a bit rich for her. Better luck tomorrow with her cocktail choice, fingers crossed. So many people wore their Gatsby inspired outfits, many feathers and tassles!
Our dinner companions where really nice, two older couples who'd cruised before. It ended up being quite a nice evening although we did miss dessert as the service was a bit slow and we wanted to see the 9pm show. We were a few minutes late for the show but still found good seats.

The show tonight was the Velvet Rope, I'd seen it on a previous cruise and really enjoyed it so was happy to see it again and show miss 18. The two main singers have amazing voices and the dancers were really great - highly recommend seeing this show!
The Gatsby party was in the Atrium so we hung around there for a bit and then back to the cabin for us.
We had another roomie when we got back to our cabin:
