Friday, June 25 - Resting Up from our Vacation - Our Day at Sea


No reason to get up really early this morning - no tours to catch, no sights to see. We did get up in time, though, for the Culinary demonstration in the Universe Lounge. The head chef, maitre d' and pastry chef cooked a meal on stage and then took us all on a tour of the galley. It was fascinating to see all that goes on in the food production area! A whole other world behind the scenes! At 1pm, we went back to Universe Lounge for another session of line dancing - it was definitely time for more exercise! The dances were basically the same as last time, with the addition of "The Hustle", and again, we had lots of fun!
We then went to the buffet for lunch - and of course had to photograph (and sample) the special pastry buffet that was set up! Back to the room to decide what to do next......Bruce worked on his photos...and I fell asleep for over 3 hours! All this eating is really tiring me out :-)! We had our final dinner tonight - Marinated Seafood Salad, Grilled Vegetable Salad, NY Strip Steak, Apple Pie.....and then a slice of Baked Alaska as it came out "on parade". We bade a fond farewell to Elena, our waiter, who we thoroughly enjoyed talking to each evening, and our dining partners Linda and Steve. We did one last walk around the ship and check out the back decks that Steve had told us about at dinner. A very nice place to hang out and watch the sunset! Time to pack up and be ready for an early morning tomorrow!
