Cruise Ship Bingo day 11
At sea....again.
Turns out the Gulf of Mexico is rather large. But it was perfect weather the entire time and the seas were very clam so no complaints from me. Another sleep in day. A bit of a light breakfast up in the buffet and then off for some more trivia. Today was one of those "you just keep moving" days. After TV trivia we headed up to the mini golf up on the pool deck. Kinda fun. This being my first time playing mini golf on a moving ship....it was less move-y than I thought it would be.
For lunch we booked the hibachi location. Nice and enjoyable. The chef couldn't use any of the fire tricks (fire on a cruise ship is not a good thing) so he was super funny and he sang a lot. Totally worth the price. (It bears repeating....the lunch prices are less than half and the menu is exactly the same).
I booked a shave in the spa for the final night of the cruise since its also the formal night. The shave was not bad....a shavette with some kind of warm lather. I tried inquiring about brands and such but he seemed to not pick up on my curiousness. The part that I liked was that after the shave I got to sit for a few minutes under a nice warm towel and then a masseuse gave me a scalp massage. Any lingering stress I may have had was completely gone by the time that was finished.

pre-dinner pint.
Formal dinner has been renamed "Dress Your Best" and the table next to us never once came to dinner NOT wearing shorts and t-shirts. All 8 of them. But for tonight....they showed up in collared shirts. And shorts. I wore a tie (so take that ya hillbillies) and since its the final night of the cruise....they pull out all the stops in the dining room. On a cruise ship...you can order anything on the menu.....and they encourage you to order as much as you'd like. Want to try two appetizers? No problem. Can't decide between the steak and the salmon....they'll bring you both. More than 1 dessert? They'll bring you 3. So the final night is always Lobster tail night.......I had surf and turf and surf and surf. Tiger shrimp appetizer and a steak and 2 lobster tails. So yummy. So much butter.
After dinner I headed down to the sports bar and watched the Golden Knights advance to the Stanley Cup finals (they didn't win the cup....so, oh well). The Avalanche fan that I kept bumping into throughout the cruise walked out of the pub with 4 minutes to go. I was going to buy him a beer as consolation.
Well.....only one more day of my trip report.....
