Last day of cruise. Off to the Windjammer for Brekky, the line for an omlette too long, sky and ocean same colour – grey, and very choppy.

Off for a bit of trivia at the Music Hall, a ‘Visual Disney Trivia”, very poor results, I didn’t know my Disney princesses from a pink elephant!

Steph for a bit of time in the outside spa, but full of noisy, space occupying kids. Had a look at the Seaplex, and managed to squeeze in a quick hot dog at the Dog House, hardly gourmet, but not bad.

A bit of a stroll around, then off to the room for a bit of a rest.

3pm – to the Japanese Restaurant, to practise our Candy Making Sushi skills. Great, and delicious fun, using rice bubble bars as the base, fruit wraps and various bright bits and pieces, we sampled as we worked, and brough the finished product back to the room, great idea, and we had to try quite a bit, to make sure we were happy with the result.

Bought Donovan a little shark backpack, still pretty rough outside.

Off to Main Dining room for early meal, burger for Steph, I had missed prawn cocktail day, so a bit of salmon for me, followed by profiteroles, not as good as Di Moons though !

Walk around Seaplex, book a dodgem car ( first time I had seen them working) $6.00 USD !!! (about 12 AUD for 3 minute ride. Outrageous.

Down to watch a bit of teen karaoke, very old teens!!.

Final wander through Royal Esplanade, Steph sampled her first Sorrento’s Pizza, had to have two slices, to be sure, to be sure.

Back to room, still eating candy sushi, may not sleep well with all that sugar on board.

Sydney airport still ‘undergoing renovations”, so hopefully its not too shocking tomorrow.

Early morning disembark, Taxi to the airport, then off to our friends at Jetstar to get us home.Read more
