Royal Caribbean Cruise - Day 7

Randy and I went to the Windjammer for breakfast today, getting a seat with a great view of the ship and the ocean.

Afterwards we went to the photo store and bought one of the many photos we've had taken here. I think I could have done a better job at posing people, but I may be biased. We walked around the ship a bit; in the Boardwalk area they were setting up for the "last day" sale and people were packed, waiting for the sale to start. I didn't want anything enough to fight through that mob so we went on deck and admired the amazing sea. 

Since we will leave tomorrow, we spent time today packing our suitcases. And wouldn't you know it, by then it was time for lunch! We went back to the Windjammer, which offers a nice variety of things to choose from. This time that included a whole suckling pig (which wasn't as good as it should have been) and a huge apple pie (which was tasty).

By 2:30 it was time for our last show, Grease. The cast did a great job; this is a really enjoyable show!

We spent some time in the Schooner's Bar before heading back to our rooms to get ready for dinner. Tonight Randy had salmon tartar, pork soft tacos, and roasted rack of lamb. I had cheese rolls with brie (I like this as much as most of the group liked the escargot), spaghetti bolognese, and cheesecake. Randy's dessert - Royal chocolate cake - came with a candle and a birthday sing-along from our our waiters and all 4 tables of our traveling group. 

Next our waiter Ijero came over to express how much he appreciated us. We appreciated him right back. He has been an excellent waiter, a personable dinner companion, and he took special care to be sure Linda was well informed about non-diary options. We all want to take him home with us!

Then he joined the rest of the dining crew in singing Sweet Caroline. Not sure why they picked that song, but it worked out well because we all knew the lyrics and joined in. We missed the "Gangnam Style" dance exhibition on the restaurant's lower deck, but that's OK. We were headed to the robot bartender on Broadway, where Linda bought Randy a birthday drink. 

That clever little robot made a pretty good Long Island Iced Tea!

Afterwards we all lined up on the upper rail and watched the Holiday parade again, followed by a quick parade of the ship's officers.  Then back to the cabins - time to get those bags outside the cabin rooms for pickup!
