A final day at sea. We had breakfast in the buffet and lunch at La Strada Grill – a small BBQ place outside on Deck 5. Pretty good jerk chicken and pulled pork.
We happened across the “World Works Here” show in the theater. This was basically a celebration of the diversity of the crew – over 50 countries are represented in the 1,400 crew members. It featured some songs by the very talented entertainment staff.


I read for a couple of hours, then we had dinner in the buffet. After dinner we visited the casino one last time. And I lost another $95 – down $195 for the cruise. Not bad, really, for a 7-night cruise, but disappointing after being ahead for 5 days. Marlene lost a bundle.


We danced to the Venezia Rockband – a terrific band. Arguably better than the Luminosa Rockband that made our transpacific cruise so pleasant. After dancing we had a late night snack and had a nice chat with another young couple who stopped by to compliment us for being “so full of life.”
In bed before 2am.
