End of the Road

Day 5

The last day of the cruise was a sea day, which was a well needed rest day. The day was spent resting, eating, reading, eating, packing eating. Did I mention eating? Almost an olympic sport on a cruise! There are enough food choices where you can very well eat very healthy if you so choose, as well as exercise til your hearts content. There is a gym with various equipment and there are classes as well. On one of the upper decks is a walking/running path, and of course swimming pools and hot tubs, although the hot tubs got a lot more use on this trip. For those of us who would like to partake in either, there is at least one lift for a pool and hot tub. Most if not all cruise ships are equipped with lifts.

Like embarkation, you choose a time to disembark the ship, unless you plan to carry your luggage yourself. Otherwise, you put your packed bags outside your cabin prior to going to bed and await your time. Many people like to stay aboard until the very last moment. We chose to carry our own and be one of the first of the ship. After having breakfast, we proceeded to the designated area await the all clear to disembark. Once we started moving it went quite quickly. You scan your card one last time, the ships way of knowing if there are any stowaways, then proceed to customs. I’m not sure if it was because we only went to Canada, but we could verbally declare what we purchased. From the time the line started moving to we got in the car was less than 30 minutes. A great ending to a great trip!

On to the next adventure!
