What a trip! Hard to believe we only have one more day left. We arrived in Spain around 4:30 today. It was a rough one. I mentioned that we could not go to Marseille due to a storm and the Captain made arrangements for us to go directly to Spain. About an hour after we left the pier in Monaco, the seas started to get rough. And that continued. I woke several times in the night because the boat was rocking and swaying so hard. We got up and staggered our way to breakfast. It was no longer the smooth sailing that we had enjoyed the whole trip. Everyone was hanging on to walls, railings, chairs each other as they tried to walk. Because of my vestibular disorder I was able to walk pretty decently. I had a couple folks ask me at breakfast how I could walk so easily. The winds blew about 40 miles an hour so the ocean was whipping us. After breakfast we came back to the room for the rest of the morning.
About 11:00 am, things started to calm down. The ocean wasn't so angry and folks could easily walk about. We went to name that tune again. This time it was songs from movies. We don’t go to movies so we thought we were screwed. Well we did pretty darn good. We had 22 out of 30. Way better that we thought we would and the winter had 27. We should have had 23 but the song from pretty woman sung by Roy Orbison isn’t pretty woman like we put… it is OH pretty woman. Technicalities…. Yeesh. We went back later for landmark trivia….. yeah we didn’t do so good. The winner had 18 out 29 and we had 12.
The ship had a farewell celebration tonight. The band performed while folks were gathering. The captain spoke a few words then all the staff walked down the isles and on to the stage. It was amazing. Then they had the finale show for the 4 entertainers that perform. Super fun night.
We still have one tour left tomorrow. We have to have our bags ready for pick up by 10.
