Cruise: May 21, 2006 (Sunday)

Last Day

We found them on one of the upper decks on some lounge chairs. Holy crap was it cold up there...I was wearing a skirt and a jacket and man I was freezing. The only complaint I have about that weekend is that it wasn't warmer...but I some things can't be helped. Anyhow, we sat there and ate our french fries and the Mom told us that she got a cocktail at which point she picks up this huge coconut-y souvenir cup and proceeds to drink away...haha. She's such a trip. I think it was a pina colada.

We eventually got the table. We challenged eachother...first team to get to 21 points wins the game. It was me and April vs. Darlene and the Mom. I sucked muchly but April made up for my lack of skill. Aaron, you would have been proud ;) I think we played best of 3 and we won, 1 to 2. Wooo!

April and I had our massage/facials later that afternoon. They had a $99 special that included a 30 minute back massage and a 30 minute mini-facial. April's masseuse asked if she and I were sisters. Because we look so much alike I presume? The ambiance is nothing special. Kind of sterile, even. But she did something to my shoulder/arm area that was just amazing. Ah, if only I could figure it out. I don't think April's experience was quite as good as mine...but for $99 it's not too bad I suppose.

We went to the lounge and man was it crowded. Unlike the other nights we had a bit of trouble finding a book--plus the queue of people wanting to sing was significantly longer. We chose a song and sat back to watch the others sing. Oh, and since we ran dry well before it was our turn, I went to the lounge bar to get a couple of Stellas for April and I :)

Oh, there was this pair of boys that couldn't have been older than 15 that went up to sing Bootylicious. CLASSIC.

Dinner

LL: Me, Luci (full name Lucilo) and April L: Me, Paul and April R: Taking orders RR: my veal

April and I had a bottle of sweet white wine chilling in the room, so we ran down to go get it so we could have it with dinner. It was a Presidio gewurztraminer I bought at a tasting room in Solvang earlier in the month. ANYWAY. Dinner was good. I had veal (mmmm). I was tipsy.

Oh, I tried to take a picture of Darlene and the Mom in the conga line, but I didn't really get a good shot. I did end up with a picture of this woman though. I think she looks evil. How about you?

Show

I actually wasn't supposed to take pictures (oops)

There was a show in the Normandie after dinner so we grabbed drinks (well, I got a cosmo) and headed on down to the theater. It was decent methinks. I don't know what Darlene was doing in that picture.
