Today was a sea day and our last day of vacation! We ate breakfast in tritons again which is so much better than the buffet food. Afterwards, around 9:30, we dropped Aidan off at the clubs and wouldn’t see him again until much later on in the afternoon.
P wanted to hang out with us for a bit- and Matt took her up to the hot tub (my sun burn made this sound really unappealing to me). I took advantage of the free time to get a quiet cup of coffee, a mimosa and catch up on my blogging for the past cpl of days. I would say I had about 40 minutes of peace and quiet before P and Matt got back to the room and I felt like I had to go back as well. But it was nice while it lasted!
Back in the room I messed around with pictures on my laptop, Matt read a book and P watched a movie. She was pretty cranky today and didn’t really want to do much but I told her after lunch that she would be going to the clubs for a bit. We went to go get lunch at the buffet but it was so windy up on deck that we took our trays back to the room, ate lunch and then dropped P off at the clubs.
Matt and I then got a couple rainforest passes in order to use their day spa (stream rooms, heated loungers, mild sauna room with heated tile benches). We spent abut an hour in there, which was nice to get some quiet compared to the rest of the ship. Afterwards we went up to the Cove Outlook bar and got a couple drinks and relaxed. We also went and got our photo package from Shutters of a few pics that we liked from the on ship photographers.
We got the kids shortly after and headed back to the room to asses our packing situation and get ready for dinner. Our last dinner was good- we gave out gratuities to our serving team and said goodbye until the next cruise. We dropped Aidan off at the clubs one last time (P had already turned in her club bracelet) and went to the hot tubs with P and play a few video games with her in the arcade. It was about 8:30 or so and we headed back to the room to start packing. Everyone’s luggage had to be outside their door between 8:30 and 10:30 to get picked up. It then goes through customs in the morning and is left in the port terminal to get picked up after you disembark. Our luggage however we wouldn’t see until Seattle- as we were using their onboard airline check in. Disney prints our boarding passes for us and checks our luggage for us as well. It’s a great service! We got everyone packed and in bed by 10:00- and then we all ordered room service one last time.
In the morning we got up around 6:00 and were all ready and out of our room by about 7:05 (everyone has to be out of the rooms by 7:30 due to the fact that new guests will board by noon the same day). We headed up to the buffet for a quick breakfast then went to the theater to get early access off the ship. The ship could get cleared by customs anywhere from 8:00 to 9:45 (and we had a 12:30 flight at LAX) . The ship got cleared right at 8:00 and we were on the road at 9:00. We got to LAX around 9:40 so we had about 2 hrs, 20 minutes before we even boarded the plane. It flew by though- we got coffee, P finished her homework, we went and got lunch and next thing we knew we were on the plane headed home.
Our flight arrived about 10 min early at 3:05 but they misplaced one fo my bags - it took about 35 minutes or so to find it and then we hopped in a taxi and were home by 4:30. It was not a great feeling to be home. The cruise was way too short somehow- and we had no food in the house. Lol. The good thing is that Matt and I rebooked another cruise for our honeymoon next year!
Anyways, all in all it was a great trip!!!!!!!
