  quote:Good morning and happy Sunday! Juju! Do they use the same trivia questions on every cruise ship? 
  Yes and no, Mamie.  There do seem to be standard cruise ship questions.  But within each brand of cruise line the questions seem to repeat.  This is a B2B, back-to-back, meaning two consecutive cruises, so some of the questions are already repeating from the first leg of the cruise.  People who sail on a particular cruise line, and who play every day tend to already know the answers to even the hardest questions, so 6 of them on one team become pretty much unbeatable.
