Day 7 on the Cruise

Last Day At Sea

We finally got to sleep in on this day. We went upstairs to eat breakfast, which normally consisted of omellettes, french toast, chocolate milk, orange juice, bacon, and fresh fruit. It didn't take us long to realize that the boat was extremely rocking and swaying. There was a small storm with high winds the last day. It made me realize that even though the boat seems huge, it is nothing compared to the sea.
After breakfast, we went upstairs to our "meeting place" to play Five Crowns. In the main dining area, there were tables upstairs where nobody every ate, so we decided to use it as a meeting place for lunch and playing cards.
We decided to head down to our rooms to get our bags packed up. They had to be outside the door by midnight. While packing, we noticed the side rudders on the boat were loud. Also, the boat was continuing to rock like crazy. I had to lay down for a while to stop the dizziness. When we went up for lunch, we found out that our ship had rescued 3 stranded Americans, and their cat, that were in a small boat.
Every night on the ship, photographers come around and take pictures of you at dinner. You can also get pictures taken during the day. It was always fun to go see how the pictures turned out. One night, us four ladies ended up with Jason(our bishop), so we decided to stop at a beach backdrop and get our pictures taken with him. He would bend his head down so it looked like he had a double neck. He did this all during our cruise and it was so funny, bc other people really thought he looked like that...we decided that every time he did that with his neck, we would call him Jimmy! Later that evening, I ended up taking two motion sickness pills, because I was getting really sick. I decided to go up to dinner with everyone, but almost "lost it" in the bathroom. I tried to compose myself bc I didn't want everyone to hear me (when I throw up, it sounds like its coming up from my feet). I ended up feeling much better half way through dinner and was able to have some yummy rolls, a baked potato, and fresh fruit for dessert.
Later that night, we went to a show in the Ivanhoe Theater. They had people on the ship try out for different vocal starts like Garth, Brittney Spears, and many others. The people then sang their song during this "Celebrity Show". Most of them were horrible, but it was still somewhat entertaining. After the show, we went up on the deck for one last look and then back to our rooms to get some sleep.
