Oh Noes! Last Day!

The last day on a cruise ship is kind of like the last day at camp, you go do all those things you were meaning to and all the things you loved best. 

We wandered through the scary On Board sale in the dining room - I'm still trying to figure out who wants t-shirts of destinations they didn't visit.  Needless to say, nothing was purchased.  I went to the morning Bridge Lesson - watch out Auntie's I learned about strong 2s.  I also learned how to become a Cruise Bridge Director - new life goal!! I went to the bingo (twice) with Ron's parents.  In the morning, with a single card, I was one number off the grand prize.  Someone else from Gatineau won, so I'll be happy for them I guess.  Ron and I went to the Final Art Auction, because how often do we get to go to Art Auctions?  They showed us an interesting trick with Thomas Kincade paintings and light.  We picked up our Ceramics at Sea project and said good bye to Allie as she headed across the ocean on the next voyage.  It was a busy, fun, relaxing day. 

Then we packed, hit the buffet as a large group one last time and had the most hilarious, long, wet decked, family shuffle board tournament in the history of all time. 

Good Friday is a great day to spend at sea, nothing's closed and they make on board easter eggs! 

The atrium smelled awesome. 

The blue one is wearing a fruit loop hat. 

Saturday we had a smooth-ish debarkation (I didn't like the find your own luggage approach, and there was some confusion on the taxi situation) and checked into the Aloha Condo in FLL for a bit more relaxation-ing.  Oh yeah, we also headed almost immediately for Sawgrass Mills for post cruise shopping on Easter Saturday.  I wouldn't recommend this as part of a good cruise recovery plan.  Also, no one should try on clothes after ten days at sea. 

So, that's the sunny Southern Caribbean with our family adventure.  It was a great trip.  And now to start planning more adventures...you'll hear about them here for sure!
