Day 10, January 5, 2024

Today is a day at sea and Barb’ birthday.  Her celebration started last night at 20:01am in the casino where we started it and everyone joined in wishing her a happy birthday.

Ed was up at 7:30am and the deck was already crowed with people sitting on or saving deck chairs.  The pool area had every deck chair occupied.

We always are on the deck above the pool and while it also was busy at that time, we were able to get deck chairs where we wanted to be.

It was already hot and clear and stayed that way until a very brief rainstorm of about 10 minutes happened.  After the rain ended everyone got new towels, the skies were clear and we stayed there until lunch until after lunch.

Of course we had lunch with our friends and after lunch at 2:30pm, we came in and started packing and just relaxing. 

At 5:45pm, were packed, cleaned up and went down to the foyer to sit with people, dance and just enjoy the last night before getting off the ship.

Dinner was very good and with we probably had the best wait staff of any cruise.

After dinner, Barb, Barbara, and Ed went to the theater to see the comedian/magician again and he was probably the funniest we have ever seen.

Then it was on to the casino where Ed had a great win.   For the first time in 17 cruises we had a losing cruise; however, thank goodness we ended on an up note to almost wipe out our losses.

It is 1:00am and we get up at 6:00 am to leave the ship.

See everyone soon.

Hugs from Mom and Ed
