6. Ready for our last formal night.
Well we got up slowly as we had to get ready for a tour of the bridge at 11:00am.
First we went to the photo area to pick up and pictures that we had not gotten from the previous four days. They are really very low key about pictures and take very few compared to Carnival. Our photo bill will probably be ½ of what it has been in previous cruises.
Promptly at 11 a security guard checked our ID’s and took us to the bridge. We were met by a young second officer who gave us a tour and an explanation of the workings of the bridge – what a sight to see all the contro
l systems, including the radar.
Then after we had been there of about a ½ hour all of a sudden the Captain walked up behind us and started talking. We then stood and listened to him talk about the ship and everything for quite a while – that was a real treat.
After the tour we went to the giant brunch that they were having in the main dining. On the way we meat doctor and his wife that we had met while playing blackjack so we went to lunch together. The doctor is from
Canada and is a Muslim from Pakatistan and his wife is a Christian who is a nurse. We had a great time talking about our experiences both in Israel and in Egypt.
Next was the slot tournament where neither of us did any good. We were then going to lay out in the sun but it was overcast so we played a session in the casino. Ed had a good run and Barb had fun!!
Well as you can see from the picture, we sailed into a storm. The good news was that it didn’t rain hard but the ship started about 5pm rocking back and forth. It should be a fun even
ing!!
Dinner and then a really great show and on to the casino. It was an up and down evening and finally at 4am they closed the casino and ran us out. The net for the night was -$30 but we played a lot and had a lot of fun with friends and we are setting the alarm for 10am to enjoy our last day at sea.
