Sunday 19th At Sea
Somehow its never as sad on the
last day of a cruise when you are about to something even more exciting anyway.
The couple from San Diego who we quizzed with on Day 1 turned up again and we
won with them and the couple from yesterday. In the afternoon we won outright
with the former against a full room. The prize redemption was disappointing –
very small selection and highly “priced”.
We hauled luggage up to the gym and
weighed it and spent a fair amount of time fretting over the tight margin we
have to get to the airport tomorrow. And whether Easyjet would decry our yellow
shoulder bags as extra luggage and batter us with their draconian luggage rules.
In fact we are underweight in total – just the way its arranged.
The crew show was very good. Some
talented staff and the cruise director’s team closed off with a little sketch
called Fountains which was hilarious. It is going to sound pathetic but they
marched solemnly out in Grecian robes with ornate jugs, took a drink, marched
around some more, then started blowing out streams of water from their mouths,
mostly over one another. This went on sedately for some time during which the
crowd was in hysterics. You had to be there.
We checked our cabin account and
discovered that they had billed us $239 for J’s excursion to the Hermitage in
St Petersburg. They said they could not investigate that until the morning –
just one more thing to fret over. We spent a lot of time spending the leftover
credit in anticipation. It was midnight before we turned in.
