This would be our last full day on the ship, and we had errands to take care of - namely deciding what we pack in our big suitcases, and what we pack in our carry-ons. In my case, the bulk of the dirty laundry goes in the big suitcases with my dress shoes, ties, and other stuff I won't need. And the stuff I will need (or will have with me) has to go in the carry-on or backpack. Either way, this is a pain in the neck, and something I hate doing at the end of every cruise.

The day started out with us getting up early enough to have one last leisurely breakfast on the ship. After breakfast, we retired to the stern of the ship to relax while the steward had a chance to make up our bed and drop off disembarkation information (with luggage tags). Around noon, we had our last lunch on the ship, and this time, things went perfectly with wait staff service. On my way back to the cabin, the lady from the table next to us asked me whether I was a teacher, and we got into a conversation for a few minutes. Finally back in the cabin, I found that the room steward had made up the room and placed disembarkation information (with luggage tags) on our bed.
We packed our large suitcases, and got them ready to go out later in the evening. And then, we went to our last dinner on the ship. The wait staff made to ensure it was a final celebration of this cruise, and left all in the room wishing this wouldn't end. Sadly, our stomachs were full, our hunger and thirst were sated, and the restaurant staff had to make the room ready for the late seating. So, it was off to our cabin to rest for a while, then seeing the comedian for one last set before leaving the ship in the morning.
