"And now the end is near and so I …"
faced the curtains of the theatre waving backwards and forwards as the ship
ploughed through the rough seas.
Last day … Last night …
So very sad that all good things have to
end. We have the programme for today:
- Stephen gives a disembarkation talk. This man cannot be serious. Everything turns into a one man comedy show – even this saddest day of the trip. My hopes were dashed when he said that nothing will happen until all guests have vacated the ship by getting their cards scanned. Damn! When I approached him about stowing away he informed me that no-one ever checks the funnels! Well done Stephen! Hope to touch base with you again sometime!
- Dance class – made very special when William selected me to serenade!
- Idols – Stephen was Simon Bowel and was funny as always. The 4 contestants were all good but the two guys! Fantastic! One did "You raise me up" and the other did "Piano man". I can't remember what the first lady sang - she did sing it well. The second lady did "I will always love you." She did very well until the nerves kicked in.
- Afternoon dance lesson: Bachata – It was interesting but has elements from many other Latin dances.
- I stayed at the pool – mom, Leanne and Wayne were there. We formed a team with about 5 others for a novelty Quest. A guy and a girl were selected to be the team representative. Stephen was in charge so one knew there was fun in store. It was a crazy treasure hunt type of game. It started slowly – having to find a shoelace was one of the first tasks then it began to get a bit crazy – 2 non-matching socks, a ladies bra brought to Stephen by the male contender, teeth (a comb and a zip were accepted) then a set of false teeth. The final was we had to dress the guy in a bra and make him up for a beauty contest. (See pics on Facebook!)
Supper was sad as we had to say goodbye to
all the staff who had made our meals pleasant. Thank you Ari and Christian and
the maitre de.
I took mom shopping after supper so that she
could spend her last few dollars. I bought some tokens to remember the trip as
well.
The show was Fantasticats. As we waited I
watched Cristen with the kiddies and all her co-workers. It is obvious that she
loves what she does. As we waited the curtains were having their own private
little dance to the unplayed tune of the ocean.
That night I sadly climbed into bed to enjoy the last night of being rocked to sleep like a baby. No sleeping aids for 5 nights.
