We wandered about the port area and bought a few souvenirs. Then we wandered down to the pool area in search of a VERY large drink that we had seen someone consuming. We found it at CocoCana, a bar by the pool &#8211; 56 ounces of frozen fun with 6 shots of run. It is called a &#8220;CoCo Party&#8221; and is delivered by 4 waiters chanting &#8220;CoCo Party! CoCo Party!&#8221; It cost $21 which included the souvenir goblet. Not bad for what you get. And the refill (which we got) was just $13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We returned to the ship in a very pleasant mood and immediately took a nap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After dinner we attended two game shows in the theater &#8211; Family Feud and Love and Marriage. Both were hilarious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ended the night in the casino. I almost broke even but lost $20. Still up $2,350.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
