Day 14-Sea day

So begins the last full day of the cruise. We got a little messed up this morning, thinking we needed to wind our clocks back another hour, but as it turns out, this is to happen the night we come into Sydney.
Millie said goodbye to Jose and gave him a Christmas card (with a tip in it) at breakfast time in the Marketplace.
And as has become the routine, Millie was off to kids club for her last day enjoying the games.
While Lindz took Millie up stairs, I filled out paperwork and tags for re-entry into Australia.
Lindz had to attend a raffle at the same time as the Superhero quiz in Princess Live, so I went to the quiz and Lindz joined me after the raffle. 16/22, not so close.
This was also the last day for Duty-free shopping, so there were sales on a lot of onboard expensive items and souvenirs. I also used this as an opportunity to collect Lindz's Duty-Free grog. The rest of the Duty-Free grog was delivered to the room.
Lunch at Juneau in a different part of the restaurant. While we were having lunch and announcement came over notifying guests that the ship would be increasing speed for Sydney to offload a critically ill guest. They would have to be lifted out on Helicopter, with the Ambulance helicopter being sent out to collect them. We were told we would have to vacate our room for safety precautions. The back part of the ship was closed down with decks 19-14 at the back of thr ship off bounds to guests. We were on 14, aft, kids club closed which is on deck 17 so we had to quickly finish packing before we had to vacate our room. We spent the afternoon sitting on the Lido (pool) deck till the all clear given. And everyone on board got a show of the drama. It appears that it was not only the Toll Rescue Helicopter that took an interest in the drama; Australia Maritime Safety Authority also sent an aircraft to monitor the situation.
Once we were allowed back in our room, we got ready for dinner at Juneau for the last time. Left over Millie cake special for dessert and special farewell dinner menu. We also took the opportunity to say goodbye to our waiters tipped the best staff.
After dinner Millie was off to Kids Club and we went to the farewell variety show in the theatre at 19:30. A little girl in the audience was dancing up a storm and stole the show when she was invited onto the stage to dance. Then we went back to the room for a movie.Læs mere
