Today is the last day of this wonderful cruise. The seas were mean last night but settled down to 4 foot swells after lunch. We are rolling so it's not the type of seas that make many people ill.
Lots of activities planned today. We had a relaxing breakfast and went to our 11th Progressive Trivia. Many people played and it was a lot of fun. There were a few teams that kept getting perfect scores. That can happen, however, someone turned the cheaters is. After that happened Ty, the activities director stopped giving us collective scores, but only the score of the last game. He also started walking around and I'm sure he was aware of the cheaters. Today we had the "awards ceremony". Ty did a wonderful job of giving some people recognition. The smallest team with the best score was an older couple. The people who turned in the cheaters, and the people who were the most improved as the games went on. We knew we wouldn't win, but went for fun.
They organized a ship choir. I can't sing, but I admire people that can. I always go to their performances:
People have started hiding ducks on cruise ships. I've found them on previous cruises but never saw any on this cruise. However, I really didn't look. Here is what one passenger found:
The singers and dancers put on another excellent show featuring New Orleans music. The choreography singing and dancing was spectacular! After the show the performers and crew met us all.
The cruise was a very good one. The ship is smaller than most and old. It's very well maintained. Any problems you have are dealt with immediately. The staff is excellent. The food in the dining room was hit and miss. I wouldn't call it bad, but some things were not too tasty. However other entrees were excellent. If you want a good steak or lobster you now pay for it. If you want an additional meal, they charge you. I think that's a great idea because I do not like seeing food wasted.
