I had muscle ache and am amazed at the muscle I worked simply by running. Remembering the hard work, I headed to the gym instead and stuck to my faithful treadmill. I did feel a little funny at 1st, losing my balance bcos I was looking out to the sea and the ship was moving.
Bfast was slightly later given the late night before. We looked through the program sheet to realise that the activities were fairly similar and decided to sign the kids up for sushi making class at usd 15 each. The class was conducted in the restaurant located on deck 14. The sight that greeted us was marvellous. Even the kids were in awe.
The class was really fun for the kids. We ate most of the sushi for lunch.
That seemed to be the only highlight for the kids bcos they rather stay in the room for most of the rest of the day to watch TV. It was so difficult to convince them to leave the room. That was like so wasted, right? Moreover, it was irritating to have so many kids in the tiny room and they seem to like our room alot. Whatever noise that they made seem to be amplified and then bounced off the walls, echoed a few times. So painful. At one point I snapped. I left the room to go swimming; I invited the kids to join me but nobody wanted to swim in the salty water.
I had a good peaceful 30 mins. I didn't last long swimming too; the pool was seriously salty. I was so happy to be under the running tap to rinse off the salt. I spent the rest of the time on the sun chair listening to the band. It was nice.
We had dinner at that formal restaurant again. We were all dressed up bcos the dress code was smart casual only to realise that people were ignoring the dress code, going in T-short, shorts and slippers. Chey.
I was dreading that 2 hour dinner especially when the kids snacked too much and were not hungry. Fortunately, the novelty ran out and the restaurant was not too crowded. We had the full attention of the 2 waiters assigned to us and food was served so quickly. I had the lamb shank. It was nice.
In between waiting, we gave the kids "missions" to entertain them. One of which was to write a thank you message for the waiters.
The waiters even had time to teach the kids tricks.
With that, we almost ended our day. The highlight for me was to catch the Dog's Purpose on the big screen on the open deck. It was nice.
There was another 70s party in the night but I was too tired to wait and had an earlier night. I don't think I enjoy dancing with the Indians too. I finally had an earlier night at 10.30pm.
This morning, I had intended to go on the treadmill only to realise that the bill was wrong. It took a good 30 mins to rectify and I heard that we had to leave the cabin by 8.30am and disembark latest by 10am. I rushed back to the room to do last minute packing and soon, we were on our way out of the cruise. The system was so efficient. The only long wait was at the immigration.
We decided to have bfast at ABC market and realised that the food was a lot more delicious than the cuisine we had on the ship.
Overall, it was way below my expectations. I probably had too much expectations given the huge advertising budget that Carribean cruise invested. Would we go back in the near future? Probably not. I rather spend my money somewhere else travelling add exploring another country.
