Day 8 – At Sea

It finally came; our last day of the cruise and this one is at sea – a great way to end the cruise.

Ed went up to the deck at 8:00am to get deck chairs for the day and Barb followed after a bit.  We stayed in the sun until 12:30pm when we went to the Aqua Spa to eat.  We ate with Jeff, Vera, Tim and Barb.

Then it was time for us to clean up and go to the blackjack tournament.  Ed qualified third; however, did not win.  The person who won started out with a blackjack on a bid bet and no one could catch him.

Then we brought a snack back to our cabin and packed everything.  After that we took our usual nap.

After napping, we went up to see what the buffet dining rooms was serving for dinner and walked around and watched people for a while before heading to dinner.

For dinner, we invited Steph and Rob from Canada and Tim and Barb from Virginia to join us as we had all been playing blackjack together and had cruised together before.  It was fun just laughing together during dinner.

Then it was to the casino for our last session where we played for a long time, but both of us lost but thanks to going back to our old style of running after a good streak, we came out ahead on this cruise.

This cruise was probably better than we expected as we have been to all ports several times except the stop at Haiti, which we knew was Haiti because that is what the souvenirs said. 

Barb’s cold never got any worse and other than one coughing spell, she was just fine except for her back.  Ed’s knee, particularly the cyst, is still causing problems, but hopefully it will be fixed soon. 

All-in-all, we had a great time and it was because of the time we were able to spend with old friends.

The new tradition is going to be: "Had enough winter March cruise"

See everyone in our family at home.
