Final Sea Day

Last day on the NCL Star. Tomorrow we will head back to SC from Lisbon, Portugal. Today we did lots of things around the ship. We did awful at trivia. Our prize redemption for signatures was ok but not worth the effort and frustration trying to beat all the know it alls. BUT, then afternoon trivia was a mishmash of the questions from all the others and we got a perfect score…finally. But so did two other teams. I won the tiebreaker and we got shirts!

We had dinner at Aqua for the last time. I can’t express how fun and welcoming the restaurant’s vibe is. We requested the same seat so we could have the kind waiter. Found out his name is Nyoman from Bali. He ended up bringing mom cheese bread with her tomato soup because she said she loved that as a kid and also two kinds of fish in case she didn’t like one. And for dessert I think he mashed 5 scoops of ice cream into a parfait glass. It was a great meal.

The show was called ‘Paridis’ with the ship dancers and singers. It was a lot like a cabaret show, lots of jazz music from the twenties and thirties. Very very loud, but outstanding. They had almost 100 outfit changes. The entire crew came to the stage to say goodbye.

Then we went to the Bliss for the last time for Battle of the Sexes rematch. Lucy was the MC of course so mom was in stitches. I haven’t heard her laugh so much in years. We even got up to and dance YMCA to help the ladies win. It was a the perfect way end a fantastic trip.Read more
