Today is our last day on the ship. We woke up to room service which was early as always. This morning we had the debarkation talk at 10:00 am to go listen to. When we got back to our rooms we had our packets with luggage tags and our final instructions for tomorrow morning. We are taking a transfer from Vancouver port to Seattle airport. We will be spending the night at the Seattle Hilton at the airport. We plan on taking the train into town to visit Krista's favorite -- Top Pot Donuts. We are also going to go to REI and grab something to eat. Our flight leaves early Monday morning 7:05 am.
Today was the Mariner's luncheon. I was invited to special reception before the luncheon. I thought maybe I might have my medallion presented to me since it was never officially presented. After I complained last cruise about not getting it I found it laying on the bed one day when I came in the cabin. Well no such luck today either. They presented 2 medallions to a couple that had 100 sailing days and another couple with 500 sailing days. It was a short ceremony where they were presented their medallions and had their pictures taken with the Captain and Hotel Manager.
After the reception we were escorted to our assigned tables at the luncheon. There was an empty seat next to me and here walks in the Hotel Manager and plops himself down next to me. Thankfully the couple on the other side were the ones with 500 sailing days so they carried on the conversation with him. He did ask me a couple of questions which I quickly answered. That was the longest luncheon I had ever been to.
We played bingo for the final time this afternoon but no luck again. There was a woman that came in to play and Krista made a comment about her and I thought to myself -- oh no. Well you guessed it, the woman won bingo. Any time Mary P and I go play bingo and make a comment about somebody they always end up winning so we try to remember our comments and say them after bingo is over. LOL
We had the final Master Chef's dinner tonight which the wait staff seem to enjoy. They did a good job serving us. I am so sick of ship food that I will be glad to get home and have some real food.
We are just about finished up packing our suitcases so we can set them out in the hall. We are supposed to be getting off the ship around 8:00 am in the morning. Chase and Lauren will also be getting off about the same time. They will be riding the train to the airport and flying back home tomorrow so they can get back to the real world and start back to work on Monday.
This has been a good trip. I enjoyed the land portion much more than the cruise portion. Alaska is a beautiful state and if you haven't been you really need to go check it out.
