ENCHANTED PRINCESS-CELEBRATION OF LIFE-LAST NIGHT!

At Sea

No stars, warm--9:16 p.m.

We have had a great 10 day cruise with great friends, celebrating how we met challenges in the last year! We are blessed.

The last day is always full of mixed feelings-we are anxious to be home with family but we will miss Donna and Lawrence, the warmth and sun, the islands, the palm trees, and so many crew members taking care of us!  We reminisced that we have cruised with Donna and Lawrence since 2009 with two trips to Las Vegas too. 

TK, Janie, Donna, and Lawrence

Capri Dining Room

Dinner was very good tonight-filet mignon and shrimp. Deep dish apple pie was not as good as TK and I make in a joint effort. 

Our bags to be checked at the airport are packed and out door, and already picked up by the crew. We made arrangements for the large bags to be sent directly to the airport and we won't see them again until we are back in Erie.  Fingers crossed!

While TK was finishing his packing I ran around the ship to take photos. There were not many people out as they were probably packing. We really did not explore too much and did not go to any shows.  This was our "comeback" cruise, but we have at least one more scheduled this year (Mediterannean and Transatlantic, but TK is considering another one in September.)

So enjoy this glimpse of other parts of the ship and we will be enjoying springtime in Erie, or cold and snow, by tomorrow!

There are several grills (pizza, burgers) in this area and

It seems empty at 9 p.m. but there are people eating here

There are four of these areas on Deck 16, plus the area for salads,

an area for breads, cheeses, grilled food, and so on

privacy.  

TK's Takes:  The food does not seem as good as in the past, especially the dessert. I agree.  The seas have been quite calm. This brand new ship has good stabilizers. He said he had a great time.
