Caribbean Cruise - Day 7 - Cruising

Our last full day on the ship. I was missing Ozzie like I've never missed anything/anyone ever, but it had been such a fun and relaxing week. We went to the pool early to get good chairs in the sun before everyone got out there. There was a self-serve frozen yogurt machine in the pool area. I tried it on the first or second day and it was bad. Today I saw people walking around with cones that looked really good. I tried it again. It was still bad, but I finished it.

We sat by the pool until we were hungry for lunch. We went in around 12:30. All week lunch was served in the main dining hall until 13:30. We arrived at 13:07 and were told that they closed at 13:00 today, so we had lunch at Johnny Rockets quite by accident. Lunch at Johnny Rockets was fun. It was a $5.95 cover charge each, and all you can eat, except milk shakes. Milk shakes cost $4.50 each. I ordered one and they brought (and charged) Megan and I each one.

We went back to our room and packed. It seems that all cruises have you leave your packed luggage in the hall the night before your disembarkation, and they have it waiting for you after you get off the ship. We sadly packed everything we brought, leaving comfortable clothes out to travel in tomorrow. 

Tonight's show in the theater was an Elton John impersonator. We're fans of Elton John; we even saw him live at the Xcel in 2013. The ship was going to pick him up in Grand Cayman and he was going to be the entertainment on Thursday night. Since we never made it there they flew him to Cozumel, and he performed tonight instead. His name was Joel Mason, and it was a comedic show with decent covers of the songs. Cruise director Elise introduced him saying that his luggage was lost and he'd have to perform in what he wore on the airplane. Then he came out in feathers and 7 inch platform shoes. 

We went to dinner in the main hall, and it was good. I had a decent pasta dish and Megan got leg of lamb, with mint jelly and everything. The waiter said it would melt in your mouth, and it did. I tried the mint jelly and it tasted just like spearmint gum. Since it was our last night I asked for two desserts on one plate. 

We went back to our room and set our packed bags in the hall. The comic from last night performed an "adult" show tonight. We went and were underwhelmed. His stage presence and energy were top notch, but he told street jokes and stolen jokes that weren't that funny to begin with. 

This was the first vacation we took where we didn't want to stay a day or two longer. It was just the right length. It was hard to leave paradise, but we were ready to come home the next day.
