December 8 - Western Atlantic

It is hard to believe but we are in the last day of our cruise.  The seas are calm and the temperature is very warm.  It is a perfect day to relax by the pool.

The captain’s morning briefing was about how much we consumed on this cruise.  The boat travelled over 5,000 nautical miles and used $1,500,000 in fuel, we ate 16,000 eggs and 1,200 lobsters, just to list some of the numbers I remember of the top of my head.  I would love to know what the operating budget for the ship is on an annual basis.

At the trivia challenge this afternoon we did OK and finished 6^th for the whole tournament.

In the afternoon we finally saw another boat.  This is the first sign of humanity that we have seen since the Celebrity Equinox, which was several days ago.  We will be passing the Bahamas sometime this evening and be in Fort Lauderdale at 6:00am tomorrow.

It was sad at supper tonight as we said our goodbyes to our new found friends.  But we’ve exchanged contact information and I’m sure that we’ll keep in touch.  In fact Norm has asked if we wanted to go another cruise with them, but believe it or not we’ve already booked trips for the next two years.
