Had a nice quiet day today - lazed around and did very little apart from packing. As usual our suitcases had to be outside the door sometime between 5 and 8pm so they could be off-loaded first thing in the morning.
I did discover though that we probably should have taken a little more effort to choose a departure time from the ship. Because our flight isn't until 2pm we just agreed to let them offload us whenever they wanted to. Trouble is that it turns out they offload the ship from the top down. But Paul and I are on the top passenger deck and Adam is on the bottom one, so Paul and I have to be gone by 6:30 but Adam doesn't leave until about 8:30. We'll have to wait around at Portside for him - but we won't be alone though - Jonina and Josh have to leave at much the same time as we do, and Joanne only a little later, but they also have to wait for Mother who gets off the ship at the same time as Adam.
I've spent too much on ship's photos this trip - but they're a nice way of getting a memory of the trip and especially good for group photos. However, I'll have to be more circumspect next year as three cruises' worth of photos could bankrupt us! I'm really hoping that soon the cruise lines will stop wasting money and paper printing all of the photos and will instead do it all electronically and only print the ones you want. Although, maybe they won't - P&O for example will happily sell you the .jpg version of any photo you want - for either $5 or $10 which is a huge rip-off anyway, but they also won't do this unless you first buy the printed copy. So they're making a fortune from these photos - they probably aren't going to change any time soon.
