Last day of the cruise







It was a beautiful sunny day for the last day of our cruise. Most of us had a relaxing day, reading around the pool, although Iyla was working on her homework as well. I went to a Mexican dance class that was very energetic and a lot of fun.  We had our Mariners Luncheon, and met a lot of interesting people.  We saw whales at several points during the day. After getting our packing organized we had our last cocktail hour in the Crow’s Nest (I’ve now switched to Pomegranate Ginger Drops), and our last dinner in the dining room.  Salmon tartar or Sweetbreads, mushroom soup, and prime rib with Baked Alaska were the most popular choices. Mom & I went to see the Dancing with the Stars, which was very entertaining!


We needed to get up early to clear US customs (6:45am). Dis-embarkation was very well organized; we didn’t need to leave our cabins early, and could go to either the Lido or Main dining room for breakfast. Lineups were short and moved fast.  Ian got off earlier as he was flying back today. The rest of us got our arranged shuttle back to Karen & Aarons’s, arriving by 10:00am. No-one has much energy today, but some walked, others did some work, and others napped! We’re going to have leftovers, and an early night tonight.
