Last Days of the Cruise

The last two days, we did a whole lot of nothing. We ate, we laid out, we ate some more, we slept…that’s about it. The pictures really are much more interesting than the events.

Those two days were my kind of vacation. 🙂

I mean really, what’s more entertaining than watching a grown man in a carnival cruise shop costume do the cupid shuffle?

This guy was funny. He’s one of the retirees on the ship (a lot of people retire to cruise ships because they’re cheaper than living in a nursing home). He had a name tag on that said “Old Man Wiggle” and did nothing but go eat and sit at this penny slot machine the WHOLE time. What a life.

Forgot to turn Autofocus on for this picture…it could have been so good. 🙁

With our waiters.

With our table. (Sidenote: If you’re from the Hattiesburg, Mississippi area, apparently the guy in the orange is a celebrity. He did the “Super Discount Furniture Warehouse” commercials there. I have absolutely no clue who he is, but Noah was just like starstruck that we were at the same table as him.)

Our Maitre’ D – everybody called him the Indian Clark Gable!

We got back into cell phone coverage area the last night of the trip, and I turned on my cell phone to see this. I just thought that was a lot of emails. Turns out I had over 100, and the iPhone will only show 50 at a time.

(And yes, I have the Price is Right game on my phone. It is awesome, and you should get it too.)

And, of course…towel animals. A monkey and a turtle were our last two.

If you’re ever been on a cruise, you know the last day is just plain out not fun. You WAIT, and WAIT, and WAIT. At least they let us eat and wait by the pool!

My last meal on the boat. 🙁

Our view for most of the morning – until they kicked us out and made us go wait in line.

I would have gotten some pictures in the US Customs line (where we were for like 2 hours), but I’m pretty sure I’d be in federal prison somewhere right now…so the pictures weren’t that important. 🙂

So there you have it! We had the time of our lives, and definitely have the pictures to prove it. I already wish I could go back (or at least have a plate of Warm Chocolate Melting Cake).
