Day 14: Our Last Sea Day...What a Difference!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  Here are two pictures at sea, taken a few days apart.

This was Monday @Sea:

Sea 5 F2358
This is today, Friday @Sea:

Sea 6 F2528
What a difference a few days make.  Let’s try that again.

Monday @Sea:

Sea 5 F2352
Friday @Sea:

Sea 6 F2535
The water is so calm we hardly notice the ship is moving.  It is so peaceful and quiet.  We are enjoying our sea day immensely.  I am enjoying it more when I’m not packing.  Yes, it is taking me an extra long time to pack three suitcases.  Sigh!

Sea 6 F2521
Sometime during the afternoon, Hubby and I hear a noise that grows louder and louder.  What on earth?  It’s an F-18 jet that does a “fly around” the ship.  Yes, you heard me right.  Not a fly over, but a fly around.  It wakes up anyone who is taking a siesta/nap and brings everyone in their cabins out to their balconies (if they have one).  I grab my camera, but it is too late.  The jet disappears quickly.  Was that a training exercise?  Where did the plane come from?  At this point we are sailing somewhere north of Cuba.  Our fellow balcony neighbors to the left and to the right and up the upper decks are having conversations and making speculations.

In the early evening Hubby and I walk around the ship and chat with a few crew members.  We meet up with Carmen in the boutique shop and chat for awhile.  We head over to the Photography shop and find Kirsty and we share with her the beautiful places on the islands we visited so she will know where to go next time.

We head back to our cabin as I have to do a final pack and place our luggage in the hallway before 8pm.  We head up to MUTS to catch the last part of the Jack Reacher movie.

We’ve had a wonderful cruise to some of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean.  We had many “first” experiences which made our adventure more enjoyable.  While we are sad to leave the Caribbean Princess, we know we’ll be back with a new adventure soon.  Tomorrow is disembarkation day and we have another adventure in Fort Lauderdale to look forward to.
