This has been great fun sharing your voyage on my new favorite ship:)

[RetiredMustang]

Wed., Sept. 11, 2013, at sea (Cont.)

We had breakfast, and a last latte at Explorations café, and did some more wandering around the ship, and returned to our cabin to a truly sad sight:

We did do some packing, and then took in the ice carving on the Lido:

More later,

Dave

Tonight’s dinner in the MDR was the Master Chef’s International Dinner. Here is the menu:

But, we weren’t there; we were in the Canaletto instead. Here is that menu:

This is my last post from on board Eurodam (at least for this cruise). We have expedited departure early tomorrow. We plan to try to see the Statue of Liberty about 5-5:30 a.m., catch a quick breakfast, and be ready to go no later than 7. I will post again once we get back to Virginia sometime tomorrow afternoon.

More later,

Dave

Thank you for taking us along on this fantastic trip. We're doing it next year and I'm looking forward to it even more thanks to your postings. Safe travels on your onward journey.

That is so cool, Dave! What fun...haven't experienced a pool party for the towel animals yet! They do go above and beyond.....

 

We had a towel zoo on our TA on the Eurodam in April. What a lot of work!

 

[Buffalo Man]

It was great Dave. Thanks so much. We are greatly looking forward to that trip next August.

I've really enjoyed following your posts - thanks for putting the time and energy into keeping us entertained in such grand style. I know how awful it is on the last day; it's a real downer compared to the rest of the trip. If we can, we try to allow a few days post cruise at the disembarkation port - we tour, we shop, and we relax even more than onboard the ship prior to heading home. Have a safe trip home!

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

Sorry you had to see that today, Dave. Truly a horrible sight. Thank you for bringing us along.

Dave, what a great trip report! We loved the menus and food, and just to follow along with you. We are definitely adding this one to our bucket list. I must admit my favorite pix were the towel zoo! I have never seen anything like that (and probably never will since I'm a late activity person--takes a while for my body to wake up). It was charming!

 

Thanks again for all your efforts, especially with the pix.

Thanks Dave for your wonderful posts and photos. The towel animal's were great. thanks for sharing them with us.

We hope you and your DW have a safe trip home and now relax and plan your next adventure.

Great towel animal pool party, Thank you.

[JamesEM]

Sad the cruise is over, but thanks for taking us alone, safe travels home.

[trub]

dave, wonderful report and pictures, sad its over for you and all your followers, big thanks again for taking us along.

[Goldygolfer]

Thanks Dave. I am really grateful that you went to so much trouble to take us all along with you on your cruise.

I hope my friends who were on board enjoyed the cruise as much as you obviously did.

Lucky them - they did the cruise before as well and now have a 3-4 week land tour of Canada and USA to look forward to.

Hope you had a safe trip home.

 

PS - Particularly loved the towel animal pool party photos - what fun !!!

This has been a wonderful review.

Boy did the days go by fast -- too fast.

[Cristiano]

Thank you Dave greatly appreciated !

[catl331]

Enjoyed it all, Dave! HAL should give you a little bonus for exciting CC members about this itinerary. Many of us have this on their bucket list now. Looks like we would need to shop for warmer clothes though. Carol

Thank you so much Dave for posting all of those wonderful pictures, menus, and daily planners. I have really enjoyed reading all of your posts. Loved the towel zoo - somehow I missed it on the Eurodam transatlantic that I was on along with VictOriaAnn.

[Cruiz'nBaers]

Big thanks, Dave, really enjoyed your voyage.

[Scrapnana]

I so enjoyed "going along for the ride". Unfortunately, I always seemed to look at the menus and food pictures when I was hungry.:D Loved the towel zoo. What a great crew to spend all that time making it. Welcome home!

[sapper1]

Thank you Dave. Enjoyed it so much. It makes me long for a redo of the Eurodam summer repo cruise.

[wandb]

Thank you, thank you, Dave. Loved the day by day "sail-along" with you. Just 10 days, and we will be boarding the Eurodam--first time on her.

[StartrainDD]

Thank you for your time, effort, and expense in taking us along for the ride. We would love to do this exact cruise but working for a seasonal business I can't take that much time off at this time of the year, so riding with you was the best thing to being there!

[mudscraper]

Wonderful trip report as usual. Thank you.
