Day 8: At Sea

1:53 PM – Ahh, the final day. The day of packing, of last minute sunbathing, and of making sure you don’t leave anything (clothes, jewelry, small children) behind.

Spent most of the day so far poolside. Enjoyed a line dance “class” in the center of the pool area (was the only guy, among like 20 women… ), and some pool volleyball. Guests vs. Crew, we got owned. So did the other 3 guest teams though, hehe.

Soccer @ 3.

6:01 – Got beat at soccer, 3-4. Did better than the other teams though.

8:51 – At the farewell show, starts at 9. Did a salsa class at 8 in the Latin lounge, Boleros. At the end of the class, all the people came up two at a time for their “15 seconds of fame.” There were a few single girls there (where were they before?! =P ), so the instructor had me go in 3 times. =D

I. Love. To. Dance.

I especially like to show off what I know at times. Applause is always a welcome sound… =D

12:46 AM – Great night. Show was really good. The juggler from the first night came back. Didn’t do any comedy/speaking but damn was the routine cool. After him was another comedian, Louis Johnson, I think was his name. He was a lot funnier than the other guy.

After, I went back to Boleros for some more dancing. Had a blast! Even had some older Irish woman buy me a drink. I’m so glad that particular skillset comes in handy. =D

I feel bad though, I told some woman I’d dance the next salsa with her, but noticed it was 12:30, which is when I told myself I’d stop and retire for the night (had to get up early next morning). She’d walked off though, so I don’t know where she’d gone.

I need to find a Latin club in Rochester…

Going to bed for the last time on the Liberty of the Seas. Goodnight all, and farewell!

Overall, this vacation has been a great time, and I’m exceptionally glad I went. I would totally do it again, although there are some things I would recommend for anyone considering taking a cruise, but it’s a great experience.
