Goodbye, St. Maarten
After the ship sailed away, it was to wash off the sea salt and sand, and get ready for dinner. Tonight was lobster night! The lobster was – like every other dinner on the cruise – just phenomenal. All 4 of us ordered it, and we all finished pretty quickly. Nareen asked if we enjoyed it – heck yeah – and would we like another serving? Heck yeah!! After finishing our second lobster tail each (Caitlin only ate one), we had dessert.
Right after dinner we headed down to Deck 2 to check out the photos that were taken the previous evening. The photos in the second formal night were great of all of us, and I bought a few 8x10’s to keep. We compared the suntan levels from the Monday and Thursday photographs, and it was amazing to see how much darker each of us had become in just 3 days, and how much my hair had bleached out. Another week, and we would probably be unrecognizable!
We dropped the photos in our rooms and headed up to deck 11. The plan was to play a game, but it was raining again so the availability of dry seating and decent light was rather limited. A dice game called Farkel was in order, and I lost so badly that it’s a good thing I didn’t have any money on it. Soon it was time for bed.
The St. Maarten towel critter was a monkey!
