What We Did Last Night:
Nice bottle of champagne we enjoyed with dinner.
Cheers
Melissa, Jane, & Rebecca in Meridian Lounge
Elena, head bartender on left, joined the ship today in George Town. We love her to death!
Georgiana, the head sommelier
My beef Wellington with lobster tails
Lovena Fox's show was fantastic. Great song choices!
What We Did Today:
Well, this is the last day of the cruise so must be packing day. Sebastian & Hazel got our luggage out from under the bed for us. Great service!! Rebecca is back from the gym so let the packing begin. It is a very windy day and the ship is moving about some. Temp outside at pool is 75 degrees.
We started packing after Rebecca got back from the gym and showered at 10:30. Took lunch break for hamburgers (yes, Rebecca actually had a cheese burger instead of protein bar). We actually was finished packing by 3:00 pm and did it without a fight. I usually get stressed out and pick a fight! During that time I realized I had not checked in for our flights tomorrow. Went online to do it and then I got VERY stressed out when American Airlines did not show a seat assignment for me. Luckily, we get 9 hours of free phone time for every cruise segment so I immediately called the AAdvantage reservations desk. First agent could not help other than to say wait and check in at the airport tomorrow. So I asked to speak with a supervisor. She could not figure out why it did not show me assigned seat 4A next to Rebecca as said I WAS booked in it. Well after an hour I on the phone I finally tried to check in again and this time it did show me in 4A. Whew!!! I ran down to the ship's internet business center and printed out our boarding passes.
Midway through packing process
When finished packing I celebrated with this Viennese coffee.
So we have 2 large bags full (weighing very near 50 pounds each) and locked. The other 2 are still open as will have to throw some clothes we wear to dinner in them after we return from our, "Last Supper". This is what I call dinner on the last night of all our cruises. The 4 checked bags have to be outside our suite by 11:00 tonight and will be taken ashore for us in the morning after docking. We also have to pack our carry on bags (1 each) in the morning.
Disembarkation is to begin at approximately 8am tomorrow. I say approximately because all the luggage has to be off the ship before any passengers can leave. Sometimes the longshoremen can be a pain in the ass as they are unionized. One of our Titanium benefits is a private limo from the ship to the airport. I have talked them into providing a larger one so Jane & Melissa can also ride with us. They are also on our flight but in coach. So there will be a total of 7 large bags plus 4 carry ons plus the 4 of us. Better be a big one!!
Our limo is scheduled for 8:30, so if everything goes off on time then we should arrive at the Miami airport around 9:00. Our flight departs at 11:04 to DFW. There we will connect to an American Eagle flight on to Durango.
I have one more bottle of champagne like the one pictured at the top of this post which we will have at dinner tonight in Compass Rose. After dinner we will walk around the dining room and rest of the ship saying goodbye to as many crew member friends as we can. It is a sad time for us. The harpist has another after dinner show but we DO NOT do harpist shows!
For me, tomorrow is a stressful day so will be glad if all goes well and we arrive back in Durango around 4pm. I will be putting one more posting on the blog about that experience.

ReplyDeleteHi, I have read many of your blogs. We are future world cruisers and trying to decide which line to go with. I understand you like Regent, but on your last world cruise you indicated some disappointment, but did not really specify where your disappointments were. Perhaps you did not want to say publicly. Would you mind emailing more specifics to me? It would be really helpful! My email is Tas_1984@hotmail.com. Thank you so much in advance!
