Last Day at Sea

So December 5th (yesterday) after I signed off we went to the Tamarind restaurant. Was it good food!  We paid extra to eat there - and worth it!

Here are some pictures of the food!



Then Mom and I went to last night's Las Vegas entertainer and a Canadian piano bar entertainer who were both excellent. 

Today, was our second and final day at sea (praying that we get into Holland America's private island called Half Moom Cay tomorrow so that today is the final sea day). Because if the weather isn't good tomorrow we won't be able to tender in by little boat to the island and we will have another unscheduled day at sea. 

This morning we had trivia and shopping on the Lido deck for Mom. I went to a rehearsal for the production show on tonight's mainstage. I like seeing behind the scenes life on board the ship. Earlier this morning I had seen a screening of a film showing how the cruise line deals with all the waste on board the ship. 

At 1 pm LC and Mom watched the ice carving demonstration by the pool and I went to watch the movie based on the book called Mortal Instruments. After the movie Mom and I went for a hot tub and a swim. There was even a deck chair available poolside for Laurie to lounge in. If this were a Princess cruise it would be unbelievable for a chair to be available poolside on a day at sea!  Guess Holland America caters to a different demographic!

We got all dressed up for our second formal night and went to three different photographers for pictures. Hopefully one turns out!  Supper was Mom's favourite - surf and turf. A nice little steak and a lobster tail!  Dessert was amazing too. 

After supper we played trivia and scored in the middle of the pack - not the best and not the worst. Then watched the production show, called "In Concert", I had seen in rehearsal. Best show of the cruise with lots of recognizable songs by Anre Boticelli, Celine Dion, Elton John, Cher...  We then went to the piano bar to sing Christmas carols we sat on he seats right around the piano tonight. A very fun day!
