2016 Cruise: Day 7-8: Last Sea Day and Home

After going to bed so early, I was up at 6:30 am.  Now that we were headed back to Galveston, I could see sunrise from our balcony so I went out to watch it.

Our plans for today were to spend our last day going to the gym and lounging at the pool.  Ben and I had lunch reservations at the Mexican restaurant, Sabor at 1:00.  I wanted to see the ship's ice skating show at 4:00.  Then we would all catch the last sunset and have our last dinner in the dining room so we could say goodbye to our servers who had been so wonderful the whole week.

Ben and I went down to the gym and did some weights.  I had wanted to take a spin class but it got cancelled so I did the treadmill instead.  It's easy when you have a great view!

I went to the steam room for awhile and sat out on the Solarium until Ben met me.  It was really chilly on this last day so no pool time for us.  We walked around the Promenade for awhile and then went to get ready for our lunch.

I sat out on the balcony for awhile so sad our cruise was almost over!

Then it was over to Sabor.

We started off with margaritas (of course!) and tableside guacamole.

They bring you a dessert sampler at the end that we just had to make room for!

I was so stuffed I fell asleep as soon as we got to the room!  Ben woke me up so I could go see the ice show.  I enjoyed it but not as much as the other two shows I saw.

After the show, we went up to Olive or Twist for our last mai tai.  I was still so full I couldn't finish it!  But we enjoyed the view.

We met Nick and the boys went to have a beer while I went to the room to pack and enjoy the balcony one last time.

We met up for our last dinner and last sunset.  It was cloudy but we can't miss the last one.

The next morning we woke up to sunrise over Galveston and then it was off the ship for the long drive home. 

We had a great time on this cruise.  The three of us will be going to Maui in October.  Time to plan the next vacation!
