David woke up before me for a change.
I started copying some of David's photos off onto my external HDD so I can at least have a copy of all his photos. Plus a backup for him.
Had breakfast in the restaurant. Had a breakfast burger which was huge.

Deck 3 Promenade. This deck doesn't go all the way around so it's surprisingly uncrowded
So much for a relaxing last day, we completely filled the afternoon with All The Things (and the morning copying photos and going to the disembarkation talk). Oh I also had a look in the shops for a tshirt but they didn't have anything good. Or rather, they had one thing that was good but it was $59.95 for a polo shirt and I was all kinds of Nope. And the second option tshirt didn't have any in M so I didn't get one. And they also don't have any nicely sized die cast models of the ship, only huge or tiny. I got a tiny one. With a hanging ornament string attached. Lame.

Also in the morning. A round of minigolf with David. He won. Of course. heh. And then some F18s buzzed the ship which was a bit of fun. Got a couple of average photos. David got better ones. I hope.

Had a quick lunch in the buffet. Man I really hate going there. The food is usually fine, but there's so many sick coughing people there.
So the afternoon.
13:15 - Q&A with Frankie in the Taj Mahal. Of note: they're *not* short staffed as we were led to believe. Which means the restaurant staff are simply incompetent, which I guess is to be expected when everyone is new on account of Carnival having to rehire everyone after covid.

14:00. Photography with Michael. Lots of chaos with a few people diving in real close and not letting anyone else get any photos.

15:00. Missed the start of the Harry Potter trivia but listened to the rest of it and the answers.
16:00. Passenger talent show. Some people were decent but most were pretty lame.
17:00. Free drinks!! Well. Free. As in from the $10000 I paid the charter company, I was damned well going to get as much as I could.
18:00. Sunset photos.

19:30. Epic Rock show which was a lot of fun. This was a "lite" production in that they didn't have any sets or much choreographed dancing but it was still pretty good.

20:15. Dinner. Although somewhere I got delayed with Voncile and Robin at the rock trivia with Frankie and Voncile and I were singing the songs and probably giving away answers. Whoopsie. Meanwhile David was waiting for us. Whoopsie. At dinner I had some Steak Ale and Cheddar Soup which was yummy, Braised Short Ribs which were nice but I was getting full, and Key Lime Cheesecake Stuffed Apple which I was too full to finish.
After dinner I went to the Red Frog Pub with Voncile and Robin but I wasn't feeling it so I went to bed.
