AT SEA/HEADED BACK TO NEW ORLEANS/VALENTINES DAY!

Sunny, high 60s

I tried to sit by the pool today, but in the shade it was too cool. So I packed my bags and TK graciously allowed me to do that alone. We finally learned that it is easier to pack when only one person is in the stateroom.

We have had a good cruise. One thing I especially enjoyed (besides being with such good friends) was the live music venues---there was music by the pool, in the casino, in the atrium, by Ocean Lounge, seemingly all day long.

The last night is usually sad-especially since we won’t see our dear friends for a long while, but we also will miss our Head Waitress Wasanna, her assistants Jose and I Gede, and Cabin Steward Lawrence. We stay connected with our friends, as well as the ship personnel who have been our friends on board, through Facebook.  I am so glad we all have already booked our cruise get together for January 2016.

At tonight’s dinner Wasanna gave each of us a carnation for Valentine’s Day, as well as an individual rich chocolate heart cake. We took photos for memories and we all returned to our cabins to finish packing. We put our bags outside of our door and I took photos. I do this to avoid the fiasco a couple years ago when we forgot one of our bags at the port and had to make two trips from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale to find them.

Donna called that her photos were finished from their exclusive photo shoot. The photos are placed on a beautiful book, plus one was put on canvas, another on metal. I loved their beach and ship scenes that portray their happiness.

TK’s Take:  It is getting colder. This may be the last warm weather we see until summer in Erie.
