Florida-Bahamas Cruise - Day 7 - Sea Day - 12/15/23
It is the last day on the ship, and part of me wishes it wouldn’t end. Hopefully, I didn’t gain that much weight on the ship, as it will take some time to get it off without the average of 2-3 miles of walking every day. Luckily, we have a clear sky today (a rarity on this cruise) and a smooth sea.
The only reason I got up this morning was to go to the buffet for breakfast, and later for lunch. While out for breakfast, I turned on the light to tell the steward that he could make up the room. However, he was delayed, and I had to kill some time. So I went to buy a couple of pictures from the photo lab - and they tried to upsell me a package of 5 photos when I was only interested in 3. Instead of buying 3, I bought the 2 I really wanted and went back to my room. The steward was cleaning my room when I arrived with his supervisor discussing work with him. He asked for another couple of minutes and I gave it to him.
After lunch, I found the disembarkation instructions in my cabin. Looks like I’ll be one of the last people off the ship, as I have been assigned debarkation group #21. This is fine with me, as it makes it easier to connect with RQS and travel to Croton together. The only thing that concerns me is getting back to Manhattan and then to Grand Central. Today, I’ll have the luxury of time on my side. But I won’t be sure of when I will get there. So I’ll call RQS when I get on the ferry, to give her an idea of how long I’ll be waiting at Grand Central for her.
Just before I went to dinner, I packed everything into my large suitcase, and prepared to set it outside the door for pickup and delivery to the pier the next morning. This would be the last of my specialty restaurants on the package, and I was underwhelmed by the seafood joint. Few of the dishes on my package were worth the price, and I chose the spaghetti with clam sauce - which was very good. After dinner, I had time to go back to the room and put some more dirty laundry into the suitcase before it was picked up by the stewards. By doing so, I lightened what I’d be carrying with me in the morning, and committed myself to staying in the room for the rest of the evening. So I called it a night, though I wasn’t sleepy yet.
