RQS and I decided to get up late today, as this would be our last day on the ship. We didn't get moving until 10 am, and made it to the main dining room for brunch. Instead of my usual breakfast, I decided to start with Buccatini with Clam Sauce. As would be expected with an Italian cruise line, this dish was yummy! If you cruise MSC in the future, try to have this dish at least once on your cruise, as you won't be disappointed. However, if you are asked to share a table, think twice. There are a large number of Asians who will keep to themselves if seated with Occidentals.
After brunch, it was back to the cabin to pack. I put all my dirty clothes in my large suitcase, with the plan to unload everything into the washing machine once I get home. RQS took a little more time, as she has yet to perfect a routine for dealing with end-of-cruise packing that can be used on 7-day cruises. After a little rest, it was back to the buffet for one last lunch before going back to the cabin to finish packing. Once finished, it was time to rest again. I don't know what caused us to be tired today, as we had more than enough sleep last night. And then it was time for dinner.
It was our last trip to the main dining room, and it was Italian night. The staff greeted the diners by singing some song as diners walked to their tables. The tables were decked out in the colors of the Italian flag, while the wait staff wore vests and ties with the same colors. All the highlighted foods would be found in a typical Italian restaurant, and I chose the Veal Osso Buco. Yum! I'll be sure to diet after the cruise ends - I feel bloated from all the tasty food we ate on board.
One thing of note: Our new table mates next to us noted that the NCL Joy made it to Bermuda the day we left, and was still in port as of Friday. I wonder what changed with the weather forecast....?
Finally, it was time to go back to our cabin, and put our luggage outside. The next time we see these bags will be on the pier tomorrow morning. I'll be glad to go home tomorrow, but also be sad to see this cruise end.
