Day 26 - At Sea

As a sign the cruise was about to end we filled out the disembarkation questionnaire and as usual selected walk off carrying our luggage. A lot quicker than waiting for the ship to unload and searching for our bags. If off the ship early enough we will head for either Sacramento or Redding and then home the next day. Otherwise we spend the afternoon at the Reagan Library and take two nights to get home. I'm partial to option one, as I can drive from Redding to Mt. Shasta for breakfast at the Black Bear.

Kinda cloudy to start the day and looks like it rained overnight, but by 9:30 it was sunny and getting hot. Too hot for Barb, who loves hot, to sit on the balcony and read. Heading Northeast we have sun in the morning, but by Happy Hour we're in the shade.

Breakfast at De Vinci was ok and then we found a table in the Atrium for mocha and coffee. And what follows coffee? The Future Cruise Kiosk, of course, and today it was Land and Sea Vacations. Barb became instantly attracted to the 22 day Europe's Imperial Treasures.

Not much happened today. A little rain in the afternoon and at 2:30 alarms went off as the ship started a one hour emergency drill. First up was a fire on deck 2 in the forward thruster area followed by an exercise for lifeboat crews.

Had another great dinner at the Crown Grill that included a bottle of Columbia Valley Merlot. Only four days left. Hard to believe 25 days have gone by already.

Sorry Barb hasn't seen the dolphins or the flying fish. We've seen both, but you just have to be looking in the right direction at the right time. Often times if you're sitting on the outside promenade deck reading, others on deck will call out when they see them.
