Taking the title from a Les Mis 'One More Day' song, today was our last full day of the week long cruise. After a quick Windjammer breakfast, we made our way down to deck 5 for another type of feeding frenzy. Today was $10 tshirt day and the shirt tables were a madhouse. I found a shirt with a saying and picture that I really like: A Wake View is the Best View. It has a picture of the ship wake and certainly captures how I feel about cruising.
The captain's talk in the Aqua Theatre was really interesting. We also watched a really cool puppet show in the kids adventure theatre upon deck 14. We learned that there is full day care when we are in port. Later on we watched an ice skating show that was quite good and that was followed by a final dinner in the Main Dining Room. Once again we had really prompt service and we able to eat in around an hour's time with a couple from Nova Scotia. We did our final packing and this was followed by watching a reprise of the first night's grand parade in the Royal Promenade.
A really funny comedian, AJ Jamal, was the 9pm Royal Theatre entertainment. Among other jokes, he made some excellent and funny jokes about his experiences sailing on a Holland America ship in Alaska. I went to bed while Angela stayed up to watch some very loud kareoke.
And so ended our final day of the cruise. Disembarkation the next morning was prompt and super smooth. We were off by 8:15am. There was no customs inspection. Because it went so smooth, there was once again a wait for our bus transfer to the nearby Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood airport. Our group was subdivided into smaller groups by colored bus tickets, but it was difficult to ascertain which bus one was to use.
I'll do a separate final post summarizing my and our observations about sailing on the largest cruise ship in the world and on a new cruise line. In summary it was very enjoyable and we would do it again under the right circumstances.
