We talked with Ali for a bit, and wished him well on his upcoming vacation (2-3 months away). We left stuffed and happy!

 

Down to deck 6 for more pictures.

 

 

 

Off to the show we went. Tuey Wilson was doing his juggling performance tonight.

We then went to the Quest game show!

 

 

 

Alvin and Christine ran the game. Poor Alvin was scarred after this one. Since Susan and I were on a team with Stephanie and Austin and two other couples.

 

Not all pictures taken were suitable for Cruise critic and the audience on here.

near the end of the game. The guys who had given the lady pants to wear, had to put on a bra, carry a purse, wear lipstick, and wear ladies shoes. This is the only picture I could post of that part of the game!

 

 

 

Jim and George just happened to be walking through at that time. They were thrust into judging the "best dressed" guy! Austin did an awesome job for our team.

 

After Quest, we returned to our room, placed our bags out in the hallway, and moapingly climbed into bed.

 

The next Morning, we went to our final VIP breakfast.

 

 

 

Susan didn't want to get off. We had Mimosas to finish off the final bottle of wine!

 

 

Crab Cake Benedict - you can never get eggs benedict in the MDR on the final morning. Glad I had VIP breakfast!

 

 

Susan had Steak and Eggs

 

After breakfast, we picked up the carryoff bags, and met Joaquin a final time for VIP priority disembarkation. We tipped Joaquin for his services, and thanked him!

 

 

We disembarked the ship and I snapped this picture of Jeff and Angie in the very long line, we got to skip.

Always tough to get a good shot here.

 

 

Welcome to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

 

Canadian Customs was easy, we didn't even have to show our passports. We picked up our bags, and proceeded to the exit where were turned in the our customs declaration forms.

 

 

We said our final goodbyes to Jeff and Angie. They were doing a city tour transfer to the airport. We headed down to the baggage storage place in Canada Place, CDS baggage storage.

 

 

 

 

We took this shot outside of Canada Place of the Sun! My photo last September was better!
