Last night on board

We went to dinner in the Michelangelo Dining Room for the last time and were again served by our requested team of Michael and Natalia.

 For Carol-Kingklip, which is a white fish with a delicate flavor and not a name we are used to in the USA

 Tournados of beef for me. My bottle of Mondavi Oberon red wine was brought to the table and drained of the last drop.

 The last night dinner on Princess ships always features Baked Alaska for dessert

After another great meal we said our goodbyes to our excellent waiters 

Here's a video clip from our last meal. On the ship they have comment cards where you can praise (or complain about?) a member of staff who "Made a Difference" in your enjoyment of the cruise.

I wrote a spoof one and gave it to Natalia, so she is reading it for the first time on camera.

I was always making jokes about how she was drinking my wine as my bottle got lighter each time it came to the table.

After dinner and some sea air on the Promenade deck where we could see other cruise ships lit up on the Horizon as half a dozen were heading home to Ft. Lauderdale we made our way inside to the Princess Theater to see one of our favorite shows-the International Crew Show, where members of the crew from the 50 or more nationalities on board get to entertain us. It is always Standing Room Only as it is so popular. We get there early and grab a seat.

Here's a video clip to give you a sample. This is Maria, who cooks in the Sabatini's kitchen.....

After the show, approaching midnight I went back to the cabin to pack. We had to be out of our cabin at 8a.m. so after packing and leaving my luggage in the hallway for pick-up it was time for bed...zzzzz
