They wanted to make sure that everything was ship shape before we sailed away into the deep blue sea.
After breakfast, we went back up to the pool deck where we were playing cards. There was a couple on board who each had brought their own scooter to get around the ship. Not a bad way to travel!

While playing cards, Mark and Beverly came by and we decided to meet at Johnny Rocket's for lunch. They had not eaten there and we decided to have one last hamburger fling before reality set back in. Santa Claus was even dining there today! It's amazing what some people will do to get attention!
We decided to splurge, so after we had finished our burgers, we ordered two ice cream sundaes to be shared between the four of us. They were unbelievable. This young woman was in charge of making all the sundaes and milk shakes.
They were loaded with Oreo cookies, cherry and chocolate sauce not to overlook the whipped cream.
She topped them with crumbled cookies and then served them to us. What a treat!
We don't allow ourselves this indulgence when we're at home!
As we were about to leave, this gentleman came in and sat down at the counter. I don't believe that I have ever seen a worse toupee. I though he had brought his poodle along with him.
Do you think he honestly thinks he's fooling anyone besides himself with this hairpiece???
What we really needed after lunch was a nap, so we decided to take one last turn around the ship instead, just in case we had overlooked something.
We went up to the Peek-a-Boo bridge and discovered several things we had not seen before. There was a place where you could send you small children where they we well taken care of as you enjoyed some of the amenities of the ship.

And speaking of children, we were told that next week there would be 2,000 young people on board and a little more than 1,000 people in their 30's. It's Spring Break. I made a mental note never to cruise during spring break. You know that the ship will be like a zoo for a week!We also discovered another card room and a basketball court on that deck.
There was a bar that we had never seen before that was called the 19th Hole. It was located adjacent to the putting green.
The decor was fun and appropriate. Frank tried to get a tee time but it appeared that there were no slots open when he wanted to play.
There was also a small piano bar in that room where Frank did his Ray Charles impersonation for me.
After our final exploration of the ship, we went back to our quarters and dressed for dinner. They had some special lighting going on in the Promenade and Frank said, "My word ... you're glowing". I had no idea what he was talking about until I saw this photo that he took of me.
This is our last big night, so we went to the show before dinner. It's really nice to have the late seating for dinner so you aren't rushed and can see the entertainment early in the evening. We're both early risers as well as early to bed people (and I thought that would make you healthy, wealthy and wise!), so with this plan we can be in bed by 11:00 at the latest.
The show tonight was called Broadway Rhythm and Rhyme starring the Royal Caribbean singers and dancers. It was another great show.

It featured all the great show tunes from popular Broadway shows and we really enjoyed it as that was right up our alley.
After the show we went to dinner and had a great meal. It was lobster night and Frank said that it was very good.

Our table mates had missed the crab cakes, so they made up a special order for us as starters which were as good as the first ones.
Our handsome waiter, Robin, bid us farewell as did Erroll Flynn.
I opted for a steak instead of the lobster and we had the usual delicious deserts.

One of Erroll's favorite things to do was to push me in my wheelchair and see just how fast he could go. It would frighten me to death, so on this final night I told him NO MORE! I wanted to get home in one piece.
When we arrived back in our suite, this silly monkey was waiting for us.

We will be in Galveston around 4:00 a.m. tomorrow and then on our way home. I will miss all the special things about this trip ... fresh linens daily, delicious meals, the nightly towel animals waiting for us when we returned to our room, the wonderful service that we were shown and the new friends that we made. We're looking forward to our next cruise and hope that if you will be sailing soon you will have as great an experience as we have had. Be sure and check out the following slide show to see what can happen to you if you spend too much time at the buffet tables. Thank you for traveling with us.
