We had a lovely lie in today as today was a day at sea. We got up around 9am and took our time getting ready as we had a reservation in Palo for 10.30am. Weve never had the opportunity to try Palos as its adults only, but as the girls were pretty much doing their own thing, we thought wed give it a try.
It was nice to dress nicely for Palo, and it was a lovely restaurant. We were shown to our table and our server Carina from South Africa introduced herself. We ordered a champagne cocktail, a mimosa (what at 10.30 in the morning
) and then we were given a tour of the various food tables.
Wow ~ there was a fruit table, a seafood table, a table with different cheeses and breads, then we were shown the various egg dishes that we could choose from ~ then shock of shocks we would then be choosing our lunch dish, then finally we were shown the dessert table.
Once we got back to the table we were laughing at how much food we could eat, now I always thought that brunch was a meal between breakfast and lunch, not a meal of breakfast and lunch ~
So we carefully decided (over another champagne cocktail) not to eat too much from the various tables, then wed have an egg dish (I had an omelette and Paul had an eggs with salmon dish), then we had a delicious beef tenderloin for main and although we were full to bursting we tried some of the lovely desserts ~ the tiramisu was out of this world.
After lunch we rolled ourselves back to the stateroom to get changed to sit out in the sun. I managed to squeeze myself back into my tankini and shorts (though the hems were really starting to pull) and we went to find a lounger. We expected it to be busy, and we finally found some loungers on top deck only for us to realise that it was getting rather cloudy. I think I lasted under an hour, it was a bit blowy on top deck, so I returned to the room to write up my trip report and start packing.
The girls went off to see the matinee performance of Disney Dreams and we went to Shutters to choose our photos and then we went to the shops to buy presents and souvenirs. The girls then went off to watch the Santa Clause 3, which they enjoyed.
We all got dressed for dinner, and tonight we were dining in Animators Palate. Once again a lovely meal. We gave our servers their tips and took some photos with them. The servers brought a birthday cake out to Paul and sang Happy Birthday to him.
After dinner we got changed, finished off the packing (as your cases should be left outside your room by 11pm and your stateroom host will take them ready for when you disembark ~ otherwise you have to carry all your luggage off yourself).
The girls went off to the Teen Club, so Paul & I went to see The Guardian in the theatre, which was quite good.
When the film finished we went to see if any of our friends were about. We found Sue and Mary in the Promenade Lounge and we were joined by Robin. The sea was a bit choppy tonight and I know quite a few people were suffering with the swaying of the ship, so it was a shame that we didnt say goodbye properly to everyone. We all sat chatting for an hour or so and I think we said our goodbyes around 11.30pm.
Paul & I were out for the count not long after and we were then rudely awoken by the girls coming in at 2.15am from their goodbye parties (theyll be sorry tomorrow when we have to attend Immigration at 6am).
