Today I found 25 cents . . . a quarter.

Monday was billed as a “Fun Day at Sea,” which is cruise ship talk for sailing and not docking at any port. Nevertheless, with 24 hour a day food and lots of onboard activities it was a good day.

I must admit that I was a bit worried about finding change on a cruise ship, as there are very few cash transactions that take place on a cruise ship. Everything from drink purchases to items in the gift shop are paid for by presenting your sailing card and are tallied and billed at the end of the week.

However, I survived the day when I found a quarter in some couch cushions next to the casino. The casino is one of the few places on the ship where cash is used, so hopefully that area will pay out for me as the week progresses.

Totals for the day: 25 cents
Race Totals: $647.57
