Second Sea Day (last cruise day)

We started the day with everyone sleeping in.  I would have let it go on indefinitely, but I knew that we wanted to eat in Savor with Cher and her team and that closed around 9:30 A.M.   I woke up the kids a bit after 9 and everyone jumped into their clothes or swim suits.

They gave us two tables by the window today instead of the long table we’d had every other morning.  I ordered Katriel the peaches and blueberries again today.  When the waiter learned she only ate the blueberries (I ate the peaches) he brought her a small dish filled with blueberries. 

Man it was going to be hard to go back to normal life tomorrow.

There were not a lot of photos this day.  There was a lot of pool time.  Waterslide time.  Mini-golf time.  And club time. 

We left the water areas long enough to eat lunch in the buffet.  We settled for this outside but not in the sun section.  I didn’t want to be cold in the A/C and many did not want to eat in the blazing heat. 

See Tab at the bar behind me?  That was where their buddy Craig worked.

 

It got a bit busier in the pools this afternoon, but it was far from unbearable.  Much of the crowd waxed and waned.  We were some of the only ones to practically take up residence. 

We did take a little time around 3 P.M. to all head back to the room and do some packing up.  Thankfully, we pretty much just had to throw stuff into suitcases without much sorting.

We had dinner reservations for 6:30 P.M. at Moderno Churrascaria, their Brazilian themed dining spot.  Nan and Kelly decided to eat in the MDR as their credits and dining package had gotten used up.  The food here was pretty unique.  There was a buffet with a variety of items – sushi, bamboo shoots, salad, asparagus, etc.  They also brought a serving dish with potatoes, yucca, mushrooms, and rice.  They did not bring us beans because of Stewart’s allergy.

They had, we believe, 8 roaming servers with huge skewers of meats, as well as one with grilled pineapple.  It was a LOT of meat, and I confess we probably didn’t appreciate it as much as we would have liked to. 

They brought Stewart a crazy amount of meat.  Like, two pieces of every kind.  They grilled his separately. 

I had to take someone to the bathroom and I got a glimpse of the setting sun.  As Marie and Tabitha wanted to hurry back to the stateroom to change and go to their club, I grabbed the camera and hurried back to the aft deck to take photos.

It was windy, warm, and wonderful. 

Dessert was a zero.  That’s ok.  We stopped by the buffet for a few more before we retired.

Boys went to hang with Craig a while and we took the little girls back to the room for bed and packing.  Marie and Tab enjoyed their club til about 10.

 

It was hard going to bed knowing it was the last night on the ship.  It had been so much fun.
