Our last day on the cruise and we are sailing towards
Tampa. It was very windy and cold
outside during the night and while the sun is out first thing in the morning,
the wind made it cold and not nice enough to gout on the deck.
Barb went to a presentation about the future of Cuba from
the Cuban host and worked in the cabin.
After Barb’s presentation, we went to the slot tournament
and then to lun
Lunch was a mad house because while it is bright and sunny
out, it is actually cold and windy so we have not been out on the deck at all.
Following lunch we went back to the casino to see how we
were doing in the slot tournament and we failed to qualify for the finals.
So, we went back to the cabin to pack.
We have had a fun cruise on Carnival. Would we go back on them, probably not. The people were not as professional, the
casino was small and overall the entire ship is a step below Celebrity. We don’t mean to sound like snobs but we will
always choose Celebrity over Carnival.
We went to a party for Diamond and Platinum members sat
5:00pm with free drinks and appetizers and it was nice.
Then we saw the show which was a show called “Epic Rock” and
it did and was very good. The one thing
that we did like about Carnival was the quality of their shows – they were very
good and this was one of the best ever.
Dinner tonight was one of the best and of course you always
remember the last and they did an excellent job. We said good bye to our friends from this
cruise. Nice people, but they will not
be our life-long friends.
Then we went to a late night comedy show and the performer
was really funny.
We were not going to the casino tonight as we wanted to
protect the nice size lead that we have rather than taking the chance on losing
some of it; however, there was no will power so we went anyway.
The good news is that on net we were ahead tonight with Barb
losing a little and Ed having a nice win which puts this cruise among the best
ever in terms of net winnings!!!
At 11:30pm we went to see another comedians late night
performance and he was just ok. Then we
went to the casino for a midnight drawing for a free cruise. They drew 4 names until someone was picked
who was in the casino – it wasn’t us.
Then back to the cabin for final packing and a short nights
sleep.
Tomorrow we fly out of Tampa at 11:45am and arrive in
Bloomington at 4:53pm so that is a perfect connection and we are soooo looking
forward to being home with our family (and dogs)!
See you there.
Hugs from Mom and Ed
