Cruise: Day Twelve, The End

Thursday, 16 December

Day Twelve– At Sea

I started the day with Bingo, where I lost lost lost lost.  Then I checked out the lame-o clearance stuff at the store and then got a coffee for Jerry Giant.

Lunch buffet.

Check out shops with Jerry

Started watching Tango Buenos Aires, but lost interest and got a  hot chocolate instead.  I met Jerry at end of the show to play final jackpot Bingo….again, we lost lost lost.  But had fun doing it!

Shower and then dinner time.

Packed.

Casino Watching. Last drinkies…beer for Jerry. Vanilla white Russian for me.

Bought pictures.

Retired for the night.

Overall, the cruise wasn't the best vacation for us.  In addition to the obvious issues in Egypt, we discovered that 12 days is just too long for us on a cruise, especially if there are a lot of days at sea.  The activities did not really interest us and the outrageous drink prices dampened the enjoyment.  Jerry moped a lot of the time and spent a lot of time in our room, which just made me feel bad, since I had done most of the trip planning.  The full refund certainly went a long way in not feeling too bad about it, but we definitely learned that we wouldn't do a similar trip in the future.  We're looking forward to other cruises, but they will be shorter!

Dinner:

Jerry – Calamari, Beefsteak tomato salad, Lamb chops, Flan and Pistachio Ice cream

Hev – Calamari, Caesar Salad, Spinach Quiche, Baklava and Pistachio Ice cream

Finished our wine package with a bottle of bubbly
