The seas on our final day were quite calm, plus we saw that the forecast in NYC was for great weather - back into the high 50s. Whew!
One of the day's "highlights" occurred early. We had a ceremonial trashing of my cycling shorts! After my fitness room workout, I knew that I would not need those shorts any longer on this trip since the the fitness room would be closed the next morning. Ever since the first day when Janet saw how thin the material had become and you could almost see right through them, we had agreed that these shorts needed to go. So, with much pomp, I rolled them up and deposited them in our room's trash can! Those shorts had seen much of the United States during their long tenure on my butt.
During the day, we read quietly in lounges or our rooms, plus we went to the theater for the crew talent show. The theater was more packed than for any show we had seen the entire time. However, there were only five acts from the crew. Instead, it was more a chance for us to thank the various crew teams as they came onto the stage for continuous applause.
While reading in our room, we opened and sipped from our free bottle of champagne that we had kept in our room refrigerator for the previous 10 days (why open that when you're on the beverage package?). We also used for the first time our free phone calls from our room. I called Brian, Katie, and Cheryl, and Janet called her boys and her mom.
For dinner, we were able to use the 2nd of our two free dinner coupons for being Norwegian Platinum members. We had tried to make reservations earlier, but everything was always full. But earlier in the day, I used one of the interactive wall panels to see what might be available, and there was an 8:00 opening in the Cagney Steak House.
The dinner was very nice. Janet had a filet mignon and I had lamb chops. They also give you a bottle of wine, and we even took out what remained in the bottle.
After dinner, we watched again the Howling at the Moon Dualing Pianos.
Mostly we relaxed and read. I did finish my book. It was going to be back to reality the next day. Dread.
